  • Patent number: 8740136
    Abstract: An aircraft engine attachment configured to be inserted between an engine and an EMS, the attachment including a plate assembly connected to a first fixing device including an end fitting with two arms and a pin passing through the plate assembly and the two arms, in each of which an orifice is formed including a first ring and a second ring respectively holding the pin. The first ring includes a bottom acting as a stop for a first end of the pin, and the first attachment device includes a mechanism to stop the pin in translation cooperating with a second end of the pin.

  • Patent number: 8156648
    Abstract: A hollow structural connecting rod including a first end fitting, a second end fitting, and a hollow main portion situated between the first and second end fittings. First and second connecting rod elements are integrally joined to one another and have, respectively, a first hollow shank made in one piece together with the first end fitting and a second hollow shank made in one piece with the second end fitting, the first and second connecting rod elements being joined by a joint situated at mid-length on the connecting rod, and which can be produced via flow-turning. The connecting rod may find particular application to an assembly system to be interposed between an aircraft engine mounting structure and an engine.

  • Patent number: 7942580
    Abstract: A rear suspension (10) for an aircraft engine assembly comprises a structure comprising two three-point shackles (12, 12?) and one two-point shackle (14). One of the hinge pins in waiting on the two-point shackle (14), preferably the hinge pin (26) fixed to the engine yoke joint, is mounted with clearance and with a damping ring acting as a spring to prevent vibrations of the engines as long as the hinge pin (26) is not engaged. Each of the suspension connecting pins (10) is a ball joint connection, the beam (16) of the suspension (10) being provided with five aligned orifices (24, 24a, 28, 24?, 24a?).

  • Patent number: 7909302
    Abstract: An aft attachment for an aircraft engine assembly. The attachment has a double boomerang structure including two three-point shackles that are duplicated: only four attachment points are present at the engine mount and two at the engine, the failsafe function being ensured by the dual structure. This attachment design does not sacrifice safety criteria, while providing a more lightweight structure.

  • Publication number: 20090100963
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hollow structural connecting rod (1) including a first end fitting (8a), a second end fitting (8b), as well as a hollow main portion (10) situated between the two end fittings. According to the invention, it includes first and second connecting rod elements (2a, 2b) integrally joined to one another and having, respectively, a first hollow shank (6a) made in one piece together with the first end fitting as well as a second hollow shank (6b) made in one piece with the second end fitting, the first and second connecting rod elements being joined by means of a joint (4) situated at mid-length on said connecting rod, and preferably being produced via flow-turning. Particular application to an assembly system intended to be interposed between an aircraft engine mounting structure and an engine.
