Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a linear telescopic actuator for moving a first ( 10 b ) and a second ( 10 a ) element relative to a stationary element ( 102 ). Said actuator comprises a base ( 101 ) that is to be connected to the stationary element ( 102 ) and is used as a cavity for a first rotationally locked rod ( 106 ) which can be translated by a drive shaft ( 104 ) that is to be connected to rotational driving means ( 107 ). One end ( 108 ) of said first rod is to be connected to the first element that is to be moved. The actuator is characterized in that the first rod ( 106 ) supports a second rod ( 117 ) which is aligned therewith and one end ( 118 ) of which is to be connected to the second element that is to be moved. Said second rod ( 117 ) can be rotationally locked and can be translated by a second drive shaft ( 112, 115 ) which extends through the base and is connected to rotational driving means ( 113, 111 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A thrust reverser for a jet engine nacelle comprising: means of deflecting at least a portion of an airflow from the jet engine; at least one cowl that moves translationally in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the nacelle able to switch alternately from a closed position in which the cowl ensures the aerodynamic continuity of the nacelle and covers the deflection means, to an open position in which the cowl opens a passage…
