Abstract: An aircraft door system and related closure method. The system involves the use of a ball transfer device as an initial contact made in the closing of an aircraft door. The closing door next encounters guiding and fitting arrangements are also employed to laterally align the lower portion of the aircraft door with the corresponding portion of the frame upon the closing. Finally, the closing door then encounters load path ties which are employed about the door. The arrangement above allows the door refit the door within what is a deformed doorframe due to weight and structural considerations.

Abstract: A system and method for defeating a door lock. More specifically, a door having an outside door handle with a key-lock, and having an interior door handle of the type that includes both a paddle along with the handle runs the risk of being left in locked mode in the event of a mechanical malfunction. This problem has been overcome by mechanically linking the paddle on the interior handle to unlatch the key-lock.

Abstract: A latch positioning mechanism for an aircraft door includes one or more locking members configured to be partially driven into a frame around the door via rotation of a pivot pin. A frame bumper extends outside of the door in a pre-catch position for contacting the frame. A catch bellcrank is operatively coupled to the frame bumper, and a biasing member biases rotation of the catch bellcrank to bias the frame bumper into the pre-catch position. The catch bellcrank is configured to contact a catch cam when the catch bellcrank is biased into the pre-catch position such that the catch cam prevents release of the one or more locking members for locking the door. Upon the frame bumper contacting the frame when the door is closed, the catch cam is released enabling the one or more locking members to be moved into a locked position.

Abstract: A system and method for unlatching an aircraft door is disclosed. The system includes a latch pin design which enables retraction of the pin in the event the ordinary unlatching mechanical systems fail. The system includes the use of a rod that is reversely threaded on each side. Rotation of the rod either extends or retracts the pin.

Abstract: A flag mechanism for an aircraft door includes a first arm and a second arm each having a flag on a first end and a catch on a second end. A first cam is operatively coupled to a first latching member and a second cam is operatively coupled a second latching member. The first and second latching members are each configured for latching the aircraft door, which are locked when the first and second cams are rotated to a locked position. A first stud extends from a side of the first cam and a second stud extends from a side of the second cam. The first and second studs are each configured to be received by a respective catch of the first and second arms while the first and second cams are rotated, thereby moving each respective flag from a first position to a second position for simultaneous visual inspection.

Abstract: A mechanical state indicator system concealed within an enclosure includes a light source for providing light and multiple light paths coupled to the light source for directing the light. Each of the light paths includes a gap configured to receive a mechanical state indicator rigidly coupled to a mechanism. Movement of the mechanism between a first state and a second state moves the mechanical state indicator into and out of the gap. Readouts are coupled to each of the light paths for displaying an indication of mechanical state based on a position of a respective mechanical state indicator. The readouts are co-located for collective viewing.
