Internal gate opening signaling device for e.g. rotorcraft, has stop preventing closing of lateral gate of lateral surface of compartment when internal gate of lower surface of compartment is open to signal opening of internal gate

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device (10) has a retractable mechanical stop (12) automatically preventing closing of a lateral gate (4) of a lateral surface of a compartment when an internal gate (3) of a lower surface of the compartment is open to signal the opening of the internal gate. The stop is projected from the compartment and the lateral gate when the internal gate is open. The stop has an attraction unit for attracting the attention of an operator, where the unit is in the form of painting deposited on the stop. The stop is an elongated element fixed on a mount bracket (11) via a rotational axis (13). #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for signaling opening of an compartment's internal gate, that is non visible of the exterior of a compartment of an aircraft e.g. rotorcraft, and for being located above a secondary compartment in which a turboshaft engine is inserted. Can also be used for a local equipment. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The retractable mechanical stop automatically prevents the closing of the lateral gate of the lateral surface of the compartment when the internal gate of the lower surface of the compartment is open to signal the opening of the internal gate, so that the operator will not close the lateral gate. The operator thus controls the compartment and views that the internal gate is open. The mechanical stop is projected from the compartment and from the lateral gate when the internal gate is open, thus improving the effectiveness of the device and allowing the operator to view the stop passing the compartment. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic sectional view of an internal gate opening signaling device and a closed internal gate. 3 : Internal gate 4 : Lateral gate 10 : Internal gate opening signaling device 11 : Mount bracket 12 : Retractable mechanical stop 13 : Rotational axis 20 : Framework.
