    摘要: A cargo door for an aircraft having a plurality of locking devices spaced near an edge of the cargo door, at least one vent panel, a control handle, and a torsion shaft actuating a plurality of pins to lock and unlock the plurality of locking devices is provided. A first drive connects the control handle to the torsion shaft to rotate the torsion shaft following a locking or unlocking command imparted to the control handle. A second drive connects the torsion shaft to the at least one vent panel to open or close the at least one vent panel following a rotation of the torsion shaft. The torsion shaft is a double shaft having two coaxial and rotationally integral shafts, namely an inner control shaft and an outer tubular control shaft.

    摘要: A door assembly (2) for an aircraft is moveable between a closed position and a disengaged position and comprises a door frame (6), a hinge arm (12) pivotally coupled to the door frame (6), and a door (4). A support bracket (14) pivotally supports the door (4) on the hinge arm (12). The door frame (6) and door (4) each comprise at least one stop (8, 10) configured to engage with each other to retain the door (4) within the door frame (6) in the closed position. At least one pin (18, 20; 38) is mounted on each side of the door (4) and at least first and second guides (28, 30; 40) are coupled to the sides of the door frame (6). Each guide (28, 30; 40) comprises a channel (24, 26; 43) receiving a pin (18, 20; 38).

    摘要: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to a quick release grill guard further comprising at least one latching system configured for the quick release and pivot of the grill guard away from the vehicle grill face. In certain embodiments, the quick release grill guard further comprises a grill guard coupling portion, a vehicle coupling portion, a latching portion a hinge, a quick release bar; and a clasping member. In certain embodiments, the grill guard coupling portion is capable of being freely pivoted relative to the hinge by actuation of the clasping member by way of the quick release bar. In exemplary embodiments, the quick release bar is in operable communication with multiple latching systems so as to release the grill guard in a plurality of locations simultaneously.

    摘要: A vehicle that includes a door, handle, shaft, and a latch assembly is provided. The latch assembly is coupled to the door to selectively secure the door. The latch assembly includes a security tether configured to prevent the shaft from moving the pawl when the lock lever is located in the locked condition. The security tether further includes: a plate attachable to the latch assembly; the plate includes an aperture sized to receive at least a portion of the lock lever that is disposed through the aperture; the plate includes first and second stop surfaces to limit movement of the lock lever; the first and second stop surfaces are also spaced apart from each other; the lock lever is movable between the first and second stop surfaces; at least the first stop surface is spaced apart from the first location on the pawl; and the lock lever engages the first stop surface when the lock lever is located in the locked condition to prevent the pawl from moving to the unlatched condition and unlatching the latching assembly.

    摘要: An interlock for an enclosure can include a primary door activator with an activator arm, a secondary door activator, and a rotatable arrangement that links the primary and secondary door activators. The activator arm can block a primary door of the enclosure from being closed when the activator arm is in an open configuration. The activator arm can be configured to rotate with the rotatable arrangement in a first direction towards the open configuration as the primary door is opened, and in a second direction away from the open configuration as the primary door is closed. The secondary door activator can be configured to engage the rotatable arrangement to prevent rotation of the rotatable arrangement when the secondary door is open, and to permit rotation of the rotatable arrangement when the secondary door is closed.

    摘要: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to a quick release grill guard further comprising at least one latching system configured for the quick release and pivot of the grill guard away from the vehicle grill face. The quick release grill guard may comprises a vehicle coupling portion, a clasped member an elongate bar and a clasping member. The clasping member may be constructed and arranged to be releasably engaged with the clasped member. Further, actuation of the elongate bar may cause the clasping member and clasped member to disengage.
