    摘要: 57 An outward-opening, plug-type cargo door for an aircraft is movable between a closed position and an open position, in which the door is spaced from the cargo bay opening in a canopy orientation above and outboard of the cargo bay opening. The door hinges are directly driven by irreversible rotary actuators such that the weight of the door cannot back-drive the actuators. The door must be powered to the opened and closed positions thereby eliminating the necessity of a strut to prop the door open when cargo is being loaded and unloaded. The rotary actuators are mounted to the aircraft structure independently of the hinge mechanism's attachment to the aircraft structure so that the actuators can be removed and replaced if necessary without disturbing the hinge mechanism or door linkage. The hinge linkage has been simplified to provide fewer parts for the linkage. The door is manually unlatched from either the interior or exterior of the aircraft through a dual handle system. A spring-biased pawl assembly is mounted on the door and coacts with a latch crank to prevent movement of the handle to the latched position when the door is spaced from the cutout opening. The spring-biased pawl cooperates with a cam surface associated with the cutout opening to permit movement of the handle to the latched position once the door is in the cutout opening.

    摘要: The invention relates to a plastic transparency having improved resistance to cracking. Plastic transparencies have been used as airplane windows, but have been subject to cracking, especially when subjected to a high humidity environment. The disclosed plastic transparency includes a transparent sheet member and a thin resinous coating overlying the peripheral edge surface of the sheet member. The sheet member is formed of a multi-axially oriented plastic material that is absorptive of moisture, preferably polymethyl methacrylate. The edge coating has a moisture permeation rate substantially less than that of the underlying sheet member, so when the window is exposed to an environment of high or variable humidity, any moisture gradient adjacent the peripheral edge surface is reduced, and the resultant tensile stress and incidence of cracking in the window are correspondingly reduced.

    摘要: Closure systems particularly intended for high speed aircraft and designed with an inwardly opening closure which can be removed during flight. A wheel or roller is provided at the bottom of the closure so that it can be readily moved to an out-of-the-way storage location by a single person. The closure is supported at its lower end by a floor-mounted bracket which can be detached to provide a clear pathway to the doorway which the closure is designed to block.

    摘要: A locking (22) device is provided for holding an aircraft door (16) in an open position. The device (22) includes a first member (30) connected to the door (16) which moves in correspondence with door opening and closing. A second member (36) of the device is fixedly connected to aircraft structure that supports the door (16). A locking pin (40), connected to the first member (30), is engaged with a pin receiving opening in the second member (36) when the door (16) is fully open to hold the door (16) in such position. The pin (40) is movable axially by a manually operated lever (104) to disengage the pin when it is desired to close the door.

    摘要: A "bilge-like" valve, adapted to be mounted on the lowermost wall of an aircraft fuselage, is disclosed in which the valve has a normally open condition to drain accumulated condensate through a registering opening in the fuselage wall when the interior cabin is depressurized, and assumes a closed condition in response to a differentially higher cabin pressure relative to outside air pressure to seal off the interior of the fuselage. A valve housing retainer is affixed to the inner surface of the fuselage wall in registration with the wall opening for detachably retaining a valve housing incorporating a piston-like reciprocating valve member and biasing spring that is insertable and removable through the wall opening from the exterior of the aircrafts fuselage for ease of servicing. The housing retainer is of a generally inverted cup shape and has a central, interiorally threaded opening arranged in overlying registration with the fuselage wall opening for receiving the valve housing which is cylindrically shaped and has cooperating exterior threads. The valve housing is installed and removed by a tool that is inserted in a specially shaped valve port and which is used to apply a rotating force to the valve housing from the exterior of the aircraft. The perimeter of the cup shaped retainer protectively surrounds the installed valve housing, and is formed with a plurality of fluid passing, debris blocking ports to ensure reliable valve operation and complete drainage of condensate when the valve is open.

    摘要: A dual-purpose door system includes a door (D) to be snugly received in an aperture of a vehicle body (B). The door (D) has the lower end pivotally connected to a slide unit (3) which is mounted on the body and movable in an outward/inward direction and a sideward direction together with the door (D) for thereby opening and closing the door (D) in an ordinary mode of the system, and the upper end received detachably and guided by a guide unit (4) mounted on the body (B). The system further includes an extension board (2) pivotally supported at its one end to the top end of the door (D) and outwardly swingable about said one end (10) subsequent to an outward pivotal movement of the door (1) to provide an extended stepping board (2, D, 9) or way for the passengers in an emergency mode of the system. There is provided a buffer means (13) for absorbing an unwanted impulse of the load caused on the door (D) and the board when they are opened in the latter mode.

    摘要: An inward/outward movable plug-type aircraft passenger door (50) including: i) a hinge assembly (56) and programming control mechanism (100, 114, 116 and 105, 114, 119) therefor; ii) a latch/unlatch mechanism (58, 70, 82, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94 and 95) therefor; iii) a pressure lock gate (69) and actuating mechanism (58, 75, 76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82 and 84) therefor; and iv), a deployable emergency evacuation system (59) and actuating linkage (60, 132, 134, 135, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142 and 144); wherein the aircraft door (50) is of the type adapted to be translated between a first fully closed and latched position and a second fully opened position while being maintained essentially parallel to the plane containing the ingress/egress cutout opening (51) in the fuselage (52) at all intermediate door positions - i.e., the aircraft door (51) is not pivoted or rotated about the hinge axis (104 and/or 109) to, in effect, turn the door (51) inside-out, but, rather, is moved with translatory motion outward of the ingress/egress cutout opening (51) in the fuselage (52) to a fully open position where the door's inner skin (66) is in facing relation to the fuselage (52) outer skin.
