Abstract: An aircraft wheel rim includes a main portion and a removable portion. The main portion includes a hub and a disk extending between the hub and an annular outer portion that receives a tire and is shaped to form a rim one of its sides of the annular outer portion. A second side of the annular outer portion is shaped to receive the removable portion, which forms a second flange on the second side of the annular outer portion after a tire has been put into place. The rim further includes a blocking device that limits rotation of the removable portion relative to the main portion. The blocking element include at least one key having a head engaged in a matching receptacle in the removable portion and a root engaging a steel peg that is shrink fitted in the main portion.

Abstract: Aircraft wheel rim in two parts, one of them a main part (1) comprising a hub (2), a disc (4) extending between the hub and an annular external portion (3) intended to accept a tire and shaped to have a flange (5) at one of its ends. The other end is shaped to accept the second part, a removable part (10) forming a flange (12) which removable part is attached to the annular external portion after the tire has been fitted. The rim has a structure for preventing the removable flange from rotating relative to the rim. The structure comprises at least one link (20) having ends, the centers of which define an axis which extends in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rim while at the same time extending obliquely to make an angle (?) with respect to a radial direction, one of the ends being coupled to the main part and the other of its ends being coupled to the removable part.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft wheel comprising a rim and a tyre (20) received on the rim, the rim comprising two parts (1; 2) assembled with one another by means of assembly bolts (5), one of the parts comprising a recess (3) in which is arranged a seal (4) which is interposed between the two parts, the wheel being characterized in that at least one of the parts comprises at least one duct (6) extending beneath the seal so as to establish a leakage path between on one hand a volume of gas delimited by the rim and the tyre, and on the other hand a space between the parts, the path being nominally closed by the seal when the bolts are tightened correctly but allowing gas to leak from said volume when the bolt associated with said opening is not tightened correctly or is absent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake for an aircraft wheel comprising firstly calipers with an outer jaw (103) receiving a stationary brake pad (108) and an inner jaw that is movable under drive from the braking actuator (105) and that receives a movable brake pad (107), and secondly a disk (109) that extends between the brake pads and that includes means (110) for constraining it to move in rotation with the wheel; at least one of the brake pads includes a protrusion (120) projecting from a rear face of the pad to be received in a matching receptacle (123) of the associated jaw and serving both to position the pad on the jaw and to transmit braking forces from the stationary pad to the associated jaw.
