Abstract

551,262. Aircraft undercarriages. PHILLIPS & POWIS AIRCRAFT, Ltd., and MILES, G. H. Oct. 10, 1941, No. 13108. [Class 4] An aircraft landing element mounting comprises a resilently yieldable part which engages a steering connection under landing load and separates therefrom when the mounting is unloaded. The upper part 4 of a shock absorbing strut carries a centring cam 6 co-operating with a fixed cam 5 against which it is pressed by resilient means when the strut is unloaded. When the aircraft is on the ground the cam part 6 is forced upwards to bring notches 9 into engagement with projections 8 on a rotatable sleeve 7 connected to the rudder bar. As shown, the leg 4 and sleeve 7 are mounted in a fixed casing 11, which may be fixed, or hinged for retraction. In the latter case the steering connections may be cables which are slackened when the undercarriage is retracted. A dash-pot may be arranged between the cam 6 and the fixed part of the casing to prevent violent engagement of the cams 5, 6 when the leg is unloaded and to prevent disengagement of the parts 8, 9 during momentary bouncing movements of the undercarriage.
