Abstract
The invention provides a pin assembly (10) useful for situations of high vibration, such as hatches or lockers on aircraft. Pin assembly (10) has a locking pin (12) adapted for insertion in a latching mechanism. Locking pin (12) has a maximum cross-section. Assembly (10) also includes a base (32) for locking pin (12) and at least one slip plate (20) which has an aperture (21) which is larger than the maximum cross-section of the locking pin (12).
Claims14
A pin assembly including:
- a locking pin adapted for insertion in a latching mechanism, the locking pin having a maximum cross-section;
- a base for the locking pin, the base having a maximum cross-section;
- and
- at least one slip plate including an aperture for receiving the locking pin, the aperture being larger then the maximum cross-section of the locking plate.
