Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aircraft undercarriage leg including an axle ( 3 ) that bears at least one wheel ( 4 ), the undercarriage leg being equipped with a unit ( 6 ) for driving rotation of the wheel, wherein the drive unit is rigidly fixed to the axle and a deformable support ( 12 ) extends between a cantilevered portion of the drive unit and a portion of the undercarriage leg not including the axle to support the cantilevered portion of the drive unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Aircraft undercarriage leg including an axle ( 3 ) that bears at least one wheel ( 4 ), the undercarriage leg being equipped with a unit ( 6 ) for driving rotation of the wheel, characterized in that the drive unit is rigidly fixed to the axle and a deformable support ( 12 ; 22 ) extends between a cantilevered portion of the drive unit and a portion of the undercarriage leg not including the axle to support the cantilevered portion of the drive unit. 2. Undercarriage leg according to claim 1 , wherein the drive actuator is fixed to an axle flange ( 10 ) that is also used to fix a brake of the wheel. 3. Undercarriage leg according to claim 1 , wherein the deformable support ( 22 ) includes an arm ( 23 ) rigidly connected to a rod of the undercarriage leg bearing the axle, the arm receiving a slider ( 25 ) mounted to slide on the arm and urged toward an intermediate position, the slider including means ( 27 ) for attaching it to the cantilevered portion of the actuator.
