Abstract
A bracket (24) for connecting a traverse (20) of a landing gear to a cabin of a helicopter. A landing gear retainer (5) is fixed around the traverse (20) coaxially to the longitudinal direction of the traverse (20) and at least one cabin clamp mount (7) is fixed to the cabin. The landing gear retainer (5) is in between the cabin and upper and lower pendulum bolts (12, 13) and upper and lower pendulum bearings (18, 19). A pendulum (9) is in longitudinal direction of the traverse (20) hinged to the landing gear retainer (5). The invention is further related to an application of such brackets (24).
Claims12
An attachment of a landing gear to a cabin of a helicopter, the attachment comprising a bracket for connecting a traverse of said landing gear to said cabin of the helicopter, a longitudinal direction of the traverse being essentially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the cabin/helicopter, said bracket comprising:
- a landing gear retainer for fixation around the traverse coaxially to the longitudinal direction of the traverse;
- a pendulum, upper and lower pendulum bolts and upper and lower pendulum bearings for said upper and lower pendulum bolts, said pendulum being for mobility of the cabin in longitudinal direction of the traverse, the pendulum being hinged to the cabin with the lower pendulum bolts in the lower pendulum bearings;
- and said pendulum being for mobility in longitudinal direction of the traverse, the pendulum being hinged to the landing gear retainer with the upper pendulum bolts in the upper pendulum bearings.
