AIRCRAFT WHEEL RIM WITH REMOVABLE FLANGE

摘要

Aircraft wheel rim in two parts, one of them a main part (1) comprising a hub (2), a disc (4) extending between the hub and an annular external portion (3) intended to accept a tyre and shaped to have a flange (5) at one of its ends, the other of its ends being shaped to accept a removable part (10) forming a flange (12) which removable part is attached to the annular external portion after the tyre has been fitted, the rim comprising means for preventing the removable flange from rotating relative to the rim comprising at least one link (20) having ends the centres of which define an axis which extends in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rim while at the same time extending obliquely to make an angle (β) with respect to a radial direction, one of the ends being coupled to the main part and the other of its ends being coupled to the removable part.

1. Aircraft wheel rim in two parts, one of them a main part (1) comprising a hub (2), a disc (4) extending between the hub and an annular external portion (3) intended to accept a tyre and shaped to have a flange (5) at one of its ends, the other of its ends being shaped to accept a removable part (10) forming a flange (12) which removable part is attached to the annular external portion after the tyre has been fitted, the rim comprising means for preventing the removable flange from rotating relative to the rim, characterized in that the rotation-prevention means comprise at least one link (20) having a first end coupled to the main part and a second end coupled to the removable part, the ends having centres which define an axis which extends in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rim while at the same time extending obliquely to make an angle (β) with respect to a radial direction.
