Abstract

465,832. Linkwork ; aircraft-fuselages. FAIREY AVIATION CO., Ltd., LOBELLE, M. J. O., and VOSS, E. Dec. 5, 1935, No. 33758. [Class 80 (iii)]. [Also in Group XXXIII] Means for moving one body relatively to another comprises at each of the opposite ends of one of said bodies a pair of levers pivoted, each at one end, to the one body in opposite arrangement, each of said pairs of levers being pivotally connected, at their other ends, with the opposite ends of a double arm lever which is pivoted to the other body, and means for turning said levers. about their pivots. As applied to the raising or lowering of a decking c of an aeroplane, relatively to gun turrets b, for example, on the fuselage a, at each end of the decking there are pivoted thereto two doublearm levers e,f, to the ends of which are pivotally connected levers h, j which are pivoted at k to the fuselage a in oppositely arranged pairs. Of the levers h, j one, at each end may be formed as a bell-crank connected by a link n and arm o to an actuating shaft q. In cases where a greater relative movement is required,' the levers h, j, may be double-armed and pivoted to a fixed support, their other ends, remote from the lever e, f being pivoted to the other body. The invention may be applied to the raising and lowering of the retractable aircraft hood described in Specification 446,134, [Group XXXIII].
