METHOD FOR FIXING A FLEXIBLE DRIVE SHAFT IN A THRUST REVERSER AND A THRUST REVERSER OF THIS TYPE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for fixing a flexible drive shaft (9) in a front frame (1) of a thrust reverser, this front frame being realized with the aid of two partially open semicircular elements (2, 3). The inventive method comprises a step during which a first end (19) of this shaft is linked to a drive system (7) fixed in an element (2) of the front frame, characterized in that it comprises the steps serving to: position at least one fixing sleeve (10) around the shaft; joining at least one fixing support (14) to the thrust reverser; connecting the second end (20) of the shaft to a drive system (8) fixed in the other element (3) of the front frame; force-inserting each fixing sleeve into a seat provided by the associated fixing support in order to hold the shaft in a predetermined position. The invention also relates to a thrust reverser used in aeronautics having a fixing sleeve (10) placed around the drive shaft.
