Abstract
734,446. Hinges. ARMSTRONG WHITWORTH AIRCRAFT, Ltd., Sir W. G. Dec. 9, 1953 [March 20, 1953]. No. 7718/53. Class 65(2). [Also in Group XXXIII] A hinge for a movable flap on aircraft is combined with mechanism to cause angular movement of the flap about the hinge. Each hinge comprises a bracket 16 secured to the wing of the aircraft and formed with forks 17 to accommodate a bracket 18 built into the associated edge of the flap and a sleeve member 20, mounted on a shaft 37, is formed with straight splines 21 and helical splines 24. The forks 17 are slotted axially for the splines 21 and the bracket 18 is formed with suitable slots to co-operate with the splines 24 which have freedom of movement in recesses 25 formed in the forks 17. A number of such assemblies may be located along the edges of the wing and flap and connected together by articulated links for axial movement under the action of an hydraulic jack to effect angular movement of the flap. The brackets 16 and 18 have recesses for the surface plating of the wing and flap respectively and the angular movement of the flap may be limited either by the side faces of the splines 24 engaging the sides of the recesses 25 or a projection 30 on the bracket 18 may engage co-operating faces on the bracket 16.
