<p>A fire resistant pillow block (10) which may be tightly wedged within the fuselage channels (50, 56) of an aircraft. The pillow block (10) is formed of a flame resistant outer covering (12) surrounding a core (14) of flame resistant material. The outer covering (12) includes at least one gas exit hole (57) to release gasses produced by the core (14) under high temperatures. To enhance the mounting of the pillow block (10), mounting flaps (58, 60) may be secured to the exterior covering and fixed to portions of the fuselage. These flaps (58, 60) may be secured by clips (64) fixed to the fuselage and having extending studs (66) which pass through a hole formed in the flap (58). The fire resistant pillow block (10) will block the passage of flame within the channel and will reduce or eliminate the air flow within the channel (50, 56) which may feed a fire within the aircraft.</p> |
