Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An aircraft wheel which is provided with rotational driving unit ( 110 ). The driving unit comprises a driving ring ( 111 ) which is associated with structure ( 112 ) for attaching the ring to a rim of the wheel. The attachment structure is fixed to treads ( 119 ) of the rim which further serve to retain removable brake blocks ( 121 ) with which the rim is provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Aircraft wheel which is provided with rotational driving means ( 10 ; 110 ), the driving means comprising a driving ring ( 11 ; 111 ) which is associated with means ( 12 ; 112 ) for attaching the ring to a rim of the wheel, the wheel being characterised in that the attachment means are fixed to treads ( 19 ; 119 ) of the rim which further serve to retain removable brake blocks ( 21 ; 121 ) with which the rim is provided. 2. Aircraft wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the ring comprises a chain ( 11 ) and the attachment members each comprise jaws ( 13 , 14 ) which are capable of clamping links of the chain. 3. Aircraft wheel according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the jaws comprises a lug ( 17 ) which extends in order to enable it to be fixed to one of the treads ( 19 ) of the rim. 4. Aircraft wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the ring ( 111 ) is a rigid toothed ring and the attachment members are integral with the ring. 5. An aircraft wheel which has a rim and is provided with rotational driver ( 10 ; 110 ), the rotational driver comprising: a driving ring ( 11 ; 111 ); a plurality of attachment members ( 12 ; 112 ) for attaching the ring to the rim of the wheel, wherein the attachment members are fixed to treads ( 19 ; 119 ) of the rim which further serve to retain removable brake blocks ( 21 ; 121 ) with which the rim is provided, and wherein a same bolt ( 20 ; 120 ) extends in order to retain both one of the attachment members of the driving ring and a brake block on one of the treads of the rim. 6. An aircraft wheel comprising: a rim ( 5 , 105 ) having a plurality of treads ( 19 , 119 ) and a plurality of removeable brake blocks ( 21 , 221 ), and a rotational driver ( 10 ; 110 ), the rotational driver comprising: a driving ring ( 11 ; 111 ); and a plurality of attachment members ( 12 ; 112 ) for attaching the ring to the rim of the wheel, wherein the attachment members are fixed to the treads ( 19 ; 119 ) of the rim which further serve to retain the removable brake blocks ( 21 ; 121 ) on the rim.
