Mechanism for determining the fatigue properties of helicopter rotor blade flexbeam sections using one motor driven eccentric for imparting combined bending, twisting and deflection loads to a flexbeam.

Mechanism for testing helicopter rotor blade fatigue properties

A two piece articulated stripping device is provided, having an elongate member pivotally connected to a fixed support on a copier so that a free end of the member is in juxtaposition with the outer surface of a heated fuser roll.

Sheet separating device

A locking control system and an overtravel safety top system are presented for a variable length rotor blade system. The lock system has linkage and pawl apparatus operated by a pilot actuated lock shaft to lock and unlock the blade adjustment system. A traveling nut on the lock shaft actuates the lock linkage, either directly or through the lock shaft to lock the blade adjustment system to prevent overretraction or overextension in the event of malfunction of the extension control system.

Locking control and overtravel safety stop system for variable length

A locking control system and an overtravel safety stop system are presented for a variable length rotor blade system. The lock system has a lock mechanism operated by a pilot actuated lock shaft to lock and unlock the blade adjustment system. A traveling nut locks the blade adjustment system to prevent overretraction or overextension.

A variable length blade in telescopic form adapted to be used with similar blades to form a variable diameter rotor or propeller wherein the outer blade portion, at the will of the pilot, is caused to telescope with respect to the inner blade portion by jackscrew action and means are provided for limiting the extending and retracting movements of the blades and also for providing a continuing visual indication of the diameter of the rotor.
