    摘要: A lighting structure and method of forming a lighting structure including a light transmitting lens positioned in front of a light source, whereby the light transmitting lens has a substantially non-opaque front surface and a light receiving rear surface, and an array of substantially tubular elements positioned proximate to the substantially non-opaque front surface of the lens. The lighting structure may further include a reflective surface that projects light from the light source to the rear surface of the light transmitting lens and through the light transmitting lens. When the lighting structure is turned off, the array of substantially tubular elements is capable of making lighting structure appear to be a part of the surrounding surface in which the lighting structure is embedded. When the lighting structure is turned on, the array of substantially tubular elements masks the sight of the light source and shields a viewer's eyes from the glare of the reflector.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is described for limiting transient motions between an aircraft power member and aircraft structure. The apparatus incorporates a coupler (20) for use with inertial-type mounts and includes a body portion (21) having a coupler piston (32) telescopically received therein. Upon exceeding a transient relative motion which causes a fluid flow velocity to be exceeded, seat (38) formed on coupler piston (32) interacts with lip (39) on body portion (21) to cause a fluid flow restriction. This method and apparatus restricts and limits transient motions, i.e., acts as a snuffer, to limit further relative motion between an aircraft power member (54) and an aircraft structural member (52). The coupler piston (32) preferably includes a flexible seal (38) formed thereon and orifice (40) therethrough for providing additional throttle-type damping upon snubbing. This method and apparatus is particularly useful in inertial-type fluid mounts for mounting aircraft engines, fluid pylon isolators for helicopter pylon isolation, and Fluid Torque Restraint (FTR) systems for aircraft for limiting transient motions under certain conditions, such as during takeoff, landing, and maneuvers, yet providing isolation under normal operating conditions.

    摘要: A flexible composite coupling (20) wherein a wound filament or roving is wound between two attachment members (22) and (24) and is fully or partially impregnated with a resin matrix such as urethane to form a flexible element (32). The attachment members (22) and (24) include radially extending flanges (26) and (28) which have a radiused periphery (30) formed on them, over which the flexible element (32) is wound. The flexible element (32) diverges inwardly from the flanges' (26) and (28) radiused periphery (30) to form opposed diaphragm portions (34) and (35) of the flexible element (32) which smoothly meet at a minimum diameter (36). Hoop winds (38) of a material with high strain capacity wrapped about this minimum diameter (36) pretension the filaments or roving within the flexible element (32).

    摘要: The rotary damper for controlling helicopter motions includes an outer canister with an inner paddle wheel receiving cavity which receives an inner paddle wheel with upper and lower elastomeric tubular intermediate members between the inner paddle wheel and the outer canister. The canister and inner paddle wheel form neighboring variable volume chambers in liquid communication through liquid damping conduits. A clockwise rotation of the inner paddle wheel about the center of rotation axis relative to the outer canister pumps damper liquid from a second variable volume chamber through a first liquid conduit towards a first variable volume chamber, and a counterclockwise rotation of the paddle wheel relative to the outer canister pumps the damper liquid from the first variable volume chamber through the first liquid conduit towards the second variable volume chamber with the elastomeric tubular intermediate members providing for the relative rotation and containing the damper liquid in the damper.

    摘要: A fluid and elastomer damper includes a first and second members and an elastomer section flexibly mounting the second member to the first member and allowing lateral movement therebetween. The elastomer section includes an inner wall forming a portion of a cavity defined within the damper and a damping fluid disposed within the cavity. A flexible damping plate separates the cavity into first and second chambers. At least one passageway is formed between the damping plate and the inner wall, the passageway exhibiting a gap dimension between the wall and the damping plate. When lateral movement occurs between the first and second members, the gap dimension is maintained substantially constant by flexing of the damping plate along the lateral direction.

    摘要: A fluid mount particularly suited for mounting an engine in an aircraft. The mount includes a frame which is fastened to the engine and a support movably mounted in the frame and adapted to receive a wing pylon stub shaft. Opposed liquid-filled chambers are provided on opposite sides of the stub shaft support and are fluidly interconnected by an elongate tube. An auxiliary chamber is provided on the frame adjacent to the upper liquid chamber and is divided internally into a gas-filled portion and a liquid-filled portion which is in communication with the upper liquid chamber via an orifice. The auxiliary chamber accommodates changes in liquid volume without adversely affecting either the static or dynamic performance of the mount.
