Abstract
A tooling making it possible to mount a module directly in an aircraft without making any modifications to the module. This tooling is made up of upper beams connected to the structure of the aircraft, lower beams secured to the module, lift elements connecting the lower beams to the upper beams and a drive system. The lift elements can move along the upper beams. The drive system makes it possible to convey the module to its functional location in the aircraft, by moving it along the upper beams via the lift elements. The principle of this tooling is to suspend the module in order to ensure and control its movement in the aircraft.
Claims26
1-25. (canceled)
Tooling for installing a module in a structure of an aircraft, comprising:
- at least two lower beams configured to be secured to the module,
- at least two upper beams configured to be secured to the structure of the aircraft,
- lift elements connecting the upper beams to the lower beams, each lift element having a variable length and being provided with an adjustment device specific to its length.
The tooling according to 28, wherein the two upper beams are parallel and extend along a longitudinal axis that is a longitudinal axis of the aircraft when the tooling is fastened to the structure of the aircraft and wherein the drive system is produced by two traction ropes driven by an electric winding/unwinding device, and wherein said ropes cooperate with an upper end of at least one lift element.
