Appl. No.:

17/695156

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Mark L. Carpenter - Mukilteo WA, US

International Classification:

B64D 45/02
B64D 37/32
F16L 5/10

Abstract:

An electrical pass-through assembly for traversing a structure includes a sleeve defining a fixed end, a locked end, a passage extending between the fixed end and the locked end, a mating feature disposed on the fixed end, and a locking feature disposed on the locked end. The electrical pass-through assembly also includes a fitting configured to attach the structure. The fitting includes an inner surface defining an opening shaped to receive the fixed end of the sleeve. A corresponding mating feature is disposed along the inner surface of the fitting and engages with the mating feature disposed at the fixed end of the sleeve to prevent relative rotation between the fitting and the sleeve. The electrical pass-through assembly also includes a locking retainer including a corresponding locking feature that securely engages with the locking feature disposed at the locked end of the sleeve.

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
Mark L. Carpenter - Mukilteo WA, US

International Classification:

B64C 1/06
F16L 3/015
H02G 3/00

Abstract:

A transport element support system comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a channel formed by the first portion and the second portion. The first portion has a hinge pin and the second portion has a receiving element. The receiving element is configured to engage with the hinge pin to couple the first portion to the second portion. The channel is configured to receive a transport element when the first portion and the second portion are coupled to each other. The transport element support system electrically isolates the transport element from a support structure in an aircraft.

International Classification:

B64D 37/32
F16B 2/22
F16L 3/22

Abstract:

A transport element clamp system comprising a lower portion, an upper portion, and a channel system. The lower portion has a first number of cutouts and the upper portion has a second number of cutouts. The lower portion is configured to bridge a gap between two support structures in an aircraft. The upper portion is configured to interlock with the lower portion. The channel system is formed by the first number of cutouts and the second number of cutouts. The channel system is configured to receive a number of transport elements when the upper portion and the lower portion are coupled to each other. The transport element clamp system electrically isolates the number of transport elements from the two support structures.
