Hinge for movable control surfaces in an aircraft and a connecting piece to be used with such a hinge

摘要

The invention relates to a hinge for movable control surfaces in an aircraft. The hinge comprises two hinge lugs placed at a distance from one another. The hinge lugs include connecting lugs with an elongated connecting piece therebetween. An actuator is connected to the connecting piece conveying the force by means of fastening lugs to the hinge and further onto the control surface. The connecting piece is pivoted to the connecting lugs so that it can revolve about its longitudinal axis when moving the control surface.The invention also relates to a connecting piece intended to be used with a hinge like the one described above. The connecting piece is an elongated element including journals at both ends from where the connecting piece is rotatably pivoted about its longitudinal axis between the connecting lugs on the hinge. A middle portion of the connecting piece between the journals is flat and tapers towards the journals.
