Cecil E. Covington - Hurst TX
David E. Snyder - Arlington TX

Assignee:

Textron, Inc. - Providence RI

International Classification:

B64C 2750

US Classification:

416143

Abstract:

An apparatus is disclosed for folding a helicopter rotor blade (16) for storage. The blade (16) is secured to a grip (12) by blade bolts (18, 20) which are locked in place by a latch plate (22). Each bolt (18, 20) has an annular groove (30, 31) in which is mated a corresponding aperture (42, 46) in the latch plate (22). To fold the blade (16) the latch plate (22) is translated against the tension of spring (24) to expose a blade bolt (18) to an enlarged aperture (40). This bolt (18) can then be removed to permit pivoting of the blade (16) about the remaining bolt (20). To further secure the latch plate (22), a cap (54) is provided to lock the latch plate (22) to the blade bolt (18).

Textron, Inc. - Providence RI

International Classification:

B64C 2748

US Classification:

416226

Abstract:

A helicopter main rotor blade having a metallic nose spar extending the length of the leading edge of the blade and a trailing edge skin attached to the nose spar. A closure channel fixed within the nose spar extends the length thereof with unidirectional fiberglass material fixed to and extending along the length of the closure channel. A bushing on the inboard end of the blade preferably is attached both to the nose spar and the fiberglass bands for transfer of centrifugal forces in the blade to a grip.

Cecil E. Covington - Hurst TX

Assignee:

Textron, Inc. - Providence RI

International Classification:

B64C 2748

US Classification:

416141

Abstract:

A grip-yoke assembly for attaching a helicopter blade to the mast of the helicopter rotor having a conventional primary coupling to carry the centrifugal loads and a redundant path operative should the primary coupling fail to insure continued operability of the blade. In one embodiment, the redundant load path has a bearing surface formed on the inboard end of the grip and a corresponding thrust bearing mounted on an inboard yoke fitting for engagement with the bearing surface upon failure of the coupling. In an alternative embodiment, a bearing surface is formed on an outboard grip fitting and a corresponding thrust bearing is supported on the yoke outboard of the grip fitting.

Assignee:

Textron, Inc. - Providence RI

International Classification:

B64C 2738

US Classification:

416134A

Abstract:

A helicopter rotor hub assembly (10) in which a blade grip (30) extends inboard of a yoke (14) and transfers centrifugal forces to the yoke (14) through a spherical elastomeric bearing (38). Pitch change of the grip (30) and blade (32) is accommodated by the spherical elastomeric bearing (38) which also acts as the pivot point for lead-lag motion of the blade (32) and grip (30). A lead-lag damper (22) is located inboard of the elastomeric bearing (38) and is connected between one end of the grip (30) spaced away from the lead-lag pivot and the yoke (14) for damping the lead-lag motion between the grip (30) and yoke (14).

US Classification:

705 15

Abstract:

A new and improved video order confirmation method and system that is adapted for use with a point-of-sale terminal and an audio order confirmation station to facilitate customer throughput. The video order confirmation system and method includes a point of sales terminal for receiving order input information from an order taker in response to order requests from a customer, and a video confirmation order terminal to facilitate order confirmation by the customer. The order confirmation terminal includes a free standing terminal housing having a microprocessor and display unit mounted therein for translating order items entered by an order taker at the point-of-sales terminal, into pixel images indicative of the description of the item ordered, the quantity of the item ordered, the unit price of the item ordered, the total price of the item or items ordered, and the accumulated total of all items ordered at any given time during the order process. For the purpose of protecting the display unit from vandalism, the system further includes a remote controlled motorized security shield that covers the display unit during non business hours.

Appl. No.:

6/341797

Inventors:

David R. Snyder - Hurst TX

International Classification:

E04B 100

US Classification:

52741

Abstract:

A device is shown for securing the base portion of a channel member of the type used to support a partition in a building to a ceiling grid structure. The device includes a bracket which is received on the ceiling structure. The channel member is secured to the bracket to support the channel member from the ceiling grid structure without damaging or contacting the ceiling grid structure itself. The bracket is then fastened to the ceiling grid structure to prevent transverse movement of the channel member along the ceiling grid structure. That portion of the ceiling grid structure which is visible within the completed building interior is not damaged when the partition is removed or relocated.
