Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to an aircraft undercarriage intended to be mounted so as to be able to move on the aircraft between a deployed position and a retracted position, the undercarriage comprising a roller ( 1 ) carried by a support ( 4 ) secured to the undercarriage while being able to be moved with respect thereto, characterised in that the support is mounted pivotally on the undercarriage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An aircraft undercarriage intended to be mounted so as to be able to move on the aircraft between a deployed position and a retracted position, the undercarriage comprising: a roller ( 1 ) for hooking the undercarriage in the retracted position, and the roller being carried by a support ( 4 ) secured to the undercarriage while being able to be moved with respect thereto, wherein the support is mounted pivotally on the undercarriage, wherein the support is secured to an articulation shaft ( 104 ) articulating two elements ( 101 , 102 ) of the undercarriage, wherein the articulation shaft is equipped with means ( 108 , 109 , 110 ) for adjusting its angular position, and wherein the adjustment means comprise a lever ( 108 ) secured to the articulation shaft and terminating in a cage ( 109 ) carrying two adjustment screws ( 110 ) mounted opposite each other in order to cooperate with a block secured to one of the elements ( 101 ) of the undercarriage articulated by the articulation shaft. 2. The undercarriage according to claim 1 , in which the support comprises two cheeks ( 3 ) carrying an arbor ( 2 ) on which the roller ( 1 ) is fitted. 3. The undercarriage according to claim 1 , in which the support comprises a base ( 5 ) with a flat bottom, a shape shim ( 8 ) being interposed between the base and a shaft ( 104 ) to which the support is secured. 4. The undercarriage according to claim 3 , in which the support is secured to the shaft by means of a force-takeup screw that passes through the base and is screwed into a nut ( 7 ) introduced inside the shaft.
