Pivoting handle for aircraft equipment includes elastic block beneath folding handle supporting handle in retracted position

摘要

The handle is able to rest on the surface (2) of a support (7) when in the folded position. A shoe made of elastic material (4) is designed to be compressed against the support when the handle rests on the surface. The elastic shoe is fastened to the support. The equipment includes a support (7) and a pivoting handle (1) which is attached by a hinge shaft (6) passing through an aperture (8) in the handle. The handle is able to rest on one surface (2) of the support when in the folded position. A shoe made of elastic material (4) is designed to be compressed against the support when the handle rests on the surface. The elastic shoe is fastened to the support. A boss (5) may be formed on the support surface, providing the anchorage for the hinge shaft. This boss may also serve to support the elastic shoe in position. The elastic shoe is a parallelepiped shape and may be made from a silicon resin substance.
