Abstract

660,825. Controlling aircraft. MORANESAULNIER. Dec. 14, 1948 [Dec. 16, 1947], No. 32337/48. Class 4. A combined control device for aircraft rudders and landing wheel brakes is provided with means for adjusting the position of control members, even in flight, without interfering with the setting of the individual controls. The control member comprises a horizontal tube 11 rigidly attached to the aircraft structure and enclosing an axially movable internally threaded fitting which engages with the threaded end of a shaft 12 to which is attached a handwheel 18. The movable fitting supports, by means of a spherically seated ball bearing, the upper end of a torque tube 5 which is attached at its lower end to the aircraft structure by means of a similar bearing so that rotation of the handwheel 18 causes the tube 5 to rock in a fore and aft plane about an axis W-W. Two members 2a, 2b are suspended from the tube 11 and are free to pivot about an axis x-x, each respective member being connected by a link 3a or 3b to the extremities of a lever 4a fast with the tube 5 so that swinging movement of the arms 2a, 2b will effect rotation of the tube 5 and a lever 7 attached thereto to actuate the rudder control rod 8. The position of pedals 1a, 1b, is adjusted to suit an individual pilot by rotation of the wheel 18, the resulting fore and aft movement of the pillar 5 causing a magnified movement of the arms 2a, 2b through the arm 4 and the links 3a, 3b. The pedals la, 1b are pivotally mounted for rocking movement on the lower ends of the members 2a, 2b and are each respectively connected by a rod 20a or 20b to one arm of a bell crank 21 each pivoted on the axis x-x and formed with another arm 22a connected to a hydraulic distributing valve 19a to control the application of the wheel brakes. A further arm on each bell crank is formed with a toothed sector 28 which is engaged by one of a pair of connected pawls pivoted to the tube 11 and controlled by a push-pull rod and a button 33 so that all brakes may be locked in selected positions for parking purposes. In a dual control arrangement the rudder control systems are interconnected by a rod 9 and bell cranks 10 and the brake control mechanisms are interconnected by torque tubes 24a, 24b attached to the respective bell cranks 21.
