Abstract:
A pivoting connection device connecting at least two components and comprising an end fitting having first and second branches, an arm positioned between the first and second branches of the end fitting, a cylindrical axle connecting the end fitting and the arm and having, at one of the ends thereof, a first portion configured to expand radially, a cylindrical rod configured to be screwed into a tapped portion of the cylindrical axle, an insert fitted on the cylindrical rod and movable between a first position, in which the first portion is not expanded, and a second position, in which the first portion is expanded radially, and a nut configured to be screwed on the cylindrical rod to urge the insert into the second position.
Abstract:
A latching system for selectively securing together two components, such as the fan cowl doors of a nacelle of an aircraft, closed. The latching system generally includes an anchor and a latch. The latch has a handle movable from an open and a closed position. The handle is precluded from reaching the closed position unless the anchor and latch are secured. Also, the positioning of a keeper portion of the anchor may be adjustable.

Abstract:
A locking system comprising a handle mounted such that it can rotate about an operating spindle, wherein the handle can move between a locked position and an unlocked position, a hook mounted on the handle and secured in rotation therewith, wherein the hook has a throat in which a latching point of a structure is designed to engage when the handle is in the locked position. The locking system comprises a key associated with the hook and by means of which it is possible to pass from the locked position to the unlocked position of the handle, wherein the key can be removed when the handle is in the locked position and cannot be removed when the handle is in the unlocked position.

Abstract:
A device for measuring, on an aircraft, the extinguishing agent concentration of a gaseous mixture. The device includes an ultraviolet radiation detector for generating an output signal that is a function of the concentration of the agent in the gaseous mixture and an electronic circuit for determining the concentration as a function of said output signal. The device includes a unit for sampling the gaseous mixture in at least one fire zone of said aircraft, and a measurement chamber passed through by the gaseous mixture and comprising a tranquilizing chamber, the detector being arranged in such a way as to measure the concentration of the agent in the gaseous mixture passing through the tranquilizing chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an aircraft turbojet nacelle including a cowling assembly (60) made up of four covers (62, 64, 66, 68). Each cover extends in arcuate shape around part of the longitudinal axis of the nacelle, in symmetrical manner about a vertical plane (P) containing the axis. On either side of said plane, the cowling assembly comprises a top cover (62, 66) hinged at its top portion and a bottom cover (64, 68) hinged at its bottom portion. Access to the internal space (e) of the nacelle is obtained by moving the covers away from the longitudinal axis by pivoting them about their hinge axes. A top cover is less heavy for handling purposes than is a single cover of the prior art.
