Abstract
The invention provides a locking system on a cascade thrust reverser for a bypass turbojet, the reverser (20) comprising guide means (60) for the movable parts (50), and the guide means (60) comprising rails (64) attached to the movable parts (50) and tracks (62) attached to the longitudinal members (36). According to the invention, the locking system (80) comprises locks (82) located at the end (62a) of each track (62) in the opening direction (52), each lock comprising a bolt (110) capable of preventing the rail (64) moving in the opening direction (52).
Claims14
A locking system on a cascade thrust reverser for a bypass turbojet, the reverser comprising a plurality of radial openings separated by one or more longitudinal members, the radial openings being closed by one or more movable parts moving in the closing direction, the radial openings being exposed when the one or more movable parts move in the opening direction, the reverser comprising guide means for the movable parts, the guide means comprising one or more rails attached to the movable parts and one or more tracks attached to a corresponding one of the one or more longitudinal members, and the one or more rails sliding in the one or more tracks, characterized in that the locking system comprises one or more locks located at an end of each of the one or more tracks in the opening direction, each lock comprising a bolt positioned in line with a corresponding track of the one or more tracks, the bolt being movable between a locked position and an open position, the bolt in the locked position preventing a corresponding rail of the one or more rails from moving in the opening direction when the corresponding rail is retracted into the corresponding track, and the bolt in the open position not preventing the corresponding rail from moving in the opening direction.
