Abstract

942,407. Self levelling devices for gangways. STANRAY CORPORATION. Jan. 10, 1961 [Aug. 5, 1960], No. 984/61. Heading B7J. [Also in Division G1] The outer end 12 of a gangway is supported by a truck 20 which carries an electric motor 24 by means of which the gangway may be raised or lowered. Control means 30 are provided so that the gangway follows the vertical movements of the aircraft fuselage 14 against which it abuts. The control means 30 comprise a control arm 32 pivoted at 34 about an arm transverse to the gangway, and a sensing roller 38 rotatably mounted on a shaft 42 at one end of the control arm. As the fuselage 14 moves vertically relative to the gangway, the sensing roller, whose periphery is preferably covered with an elastomeric material 40, rotates on the shaft 42, causing an arm 46 in a switch 44 to operate the electric motor 24 either through circuit 48 or circuit 50 and so raise or lower the gangway. The control means can be retracted by a crank 58 which may be locked in the retracted position.
