Abstract
Abstract An actuating mechanism, for putting into operation a ram-air turbine of an aircraft, includes a slide member linearly moveable and connected with a Bowden cable which is actuatable in dependence on a blocking mechanism. In order that the actuating installation can be operated in a simple and safe manner, the blocking mechanism is connected with a hand lever which in the opened condition releases the blocking mechanism and cooperates with a support element of the slide member in such a manner that the slide member is adapted to be displaced into an end position by means of the hand lever.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
An actuating mechanism associated with a ram-air turbine comprising means for housing a movable slide means, movable slide means connected to a Bowden cable for controlling said ram-air turbine, hand lever means pivotally supported by said movable slide means for moving said movable slide means, blocking means associated with said hand lever means for cooperating with said means for housing to preclude movement of said movable slide means, wherein pivoting of said hand lever means disengages the cooperation of said blocking means and said means for housing and moves said movable slide means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
An actuating mechanism associated with a ram-air turbine comprising means for housing a movable slide means, movable slide means connected to a Bowden cable for controlling said ram-air turbine, hand lever means pivotally supported by said movable slide means for moving said movable slide means, blocking means associated with said hand lever means for cooperating with said means for housing to preclude movement of said movable slide means, wherein pivoting of said hand lever means disengages the cooperation of said blocking means and said means for housing and moves said movable slide means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the hand lever means is formed by a two-armed lever whose first arm includes a handle portion and whose second arm includes an abutment for engaging a support element on said movable slide means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 2, wherein the free end of the handle portion is provided with a thickened portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 2, wherein the handle portion is constructed of a width approximately corresponding to the width of a hand and is accessible by way of a recess provided in the movable slide means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 2, wherein the slide means is guided in the means for housing in the manner of a drawer in a fixed housing means, the movable slide means and the means for housing cooperating by way of complementary guide means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 5, wherein said means for housing has a generally U-shaped cross section.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 6, wherein said complementary guide means includes enlargements on one of the movable slide means and the means for housing and recess means on the other of said movable slide means and said means for housing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
48 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 6, wherein the blocking means includes a pin attached to said first arm, said pin extending through an opening in a wall of the recess in said movable slide means and projecting into a mounting means associated with the means for housing.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 8 wherein the actuating mechanism is arranged recessed in an inner wall of an aircraft adjacent a pilot seat and the movable slide means is displaceable in the flight direction.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
41 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 1 wherein the movable slide means is installed in the manner of a drawer in the means for housing, the movable slide means and the means for housing cooperating by way of complementary guide means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 10, wherein said means for housing has a generally U-shaped cross section.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
42 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 10, wherein said complementary guide means includes enlargements on one of the movable slide means and the means for housing and recess means on the other of said movable slide means and said means for housing.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
47 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 2, wherein the blocking means includes a pin attached to said first arm, said pin extending through an opening in a wall of a recess in the movable slide means and projecting into a mounting means in the means for housing.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
39 words
An actuating mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the actuating mechanism is arranged in a recessed manner at an inner wall of an aircraft adjacent a pilot seat and the movable slide means is displaceable in the flight direction.
