Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An arm removal system for removing an arm. The system includes an anvil, and a removal assembly with at least two jackscrews. The arm has an extension radially extending from the arm and an arm outer surface. The arm is disposed within a wedge shaped collet that is disposed within a socket in an aircraft with an aircraft outer surface. The removal assembly includes an extension engaging surface and threaded jackscrew holes for accepting the jackscrews, such that when the jackscrews are tightened within the jackscrew holes, the jackscrews apply force on the anvil and the aircraft outer surface in the direction away from the removal assembly such that the arm is eventually removed entirely from the aircraft.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An arm removal system for removing an arm, the arm having an extension radially extending from the arm and an arm outer surface, the arm disposed within a wedge shaped collet and the wedge shaped collet disposed within a socket in an aircraft with an aircraft outer surface, the arm removal system comprising: an anvil having an aircraft engaging surface that corresponds to the aircraft outer surface, and an inner surface that corresponds to the arm outer surface, such that when attached to each other the anvil envelops the arm outer surface and engages with the aircraft outersurface; at least two jack screws; a removal assembly having a removal system inner surface corresponding to a portion of the arm outer surface, the removal assembly having an extension engaging surface and threaded jack screw holes for accepting the jackscrews, such that when the jack screws are tightened within the jack screw holes, they apply force on the anvil and the aircraft outer surface in a direction away from the removal assembly and as a result the extension engaging surface applies an opposite force on the extension such that the arm is moved axially along the socket and eventually removed entirely from the aircraft.
