An apparatus for rigidly interlocking a control stick and the rudder pedals of an aircraft is provided for protecting the control surfaces of the aircraft operated by the control stick and the rudder pedals against wind loads. The apparatus comprises a control stick clamp assembly rigidly connected to one end of a first lever arm and a rudder pedal retaining assembly rigidly connected to another end of the first lever arm. A second lever arm has one end connected to the rudder pedal retaining assembly. The second lever arm is moveable between a collapsed position and an extended position wherein the distal end of the second lever arm is engageable with a support surface such that the second lever arm is able to support the rudder pedal retaining assembly in engagement with each of the rudder pedals and thereby cause, upon the control stick clamp assembly being secured to the control stick, the first lever arm to support the control stick in a selected position.

Apparatus for locking control surfaces of stick controlled aircraft

A locking apparatus in combination with a locking pin and method for rigidly interlocking a control wheel and the rudder pedals of an aircraft is provided for securing the control surfaces of the aircraft operated by the control wheel and the rudder pedals in a stable position. The locking pin is adapted to be disposed through aligned locking pin receiving holes of the control column and the control panel collar and has a recess formed therein for lockingly receiving a portion of the control column. The locking apparatus includes a pair of control wheel retaining members rigidly connected to one end of a rod member for retainingly engaging the control wheel and a rudder pedal engaging bar rigidly connected to one end of another rod member. The rudder pedal engaging bar is positionable in a V-shaped notch of each of the rudder pedals so as to engage each of the rudder pedals and so as to secure the rudder pedal engaging bar on the rudder pedals. The rod members are disposed in a telescoping relationship with respect to one another and are adjustably securable whereby the control wheel retaining members are rigidly locked in a selected position relative to the rudder pedal retaining bar wherein the control wheel retaining members cooperate with the rudder pedal retaining bar to support the control column in a pin locking position wherein the control column is lockingly disposed in the recess of the locking pin.

Apparatus for locking aircraft controls

An apparatus and method for rigidly interlocking a control wheel and the rudder pedals of an aircraft is provided for securing the control surfaces of the aircraft operated by the control wheel and the rudder pedals in a stable position. The apparatus comprises a pair of control wheel retaining members rigidly connected to one end of a rod member in a spaced apart, parallel relationship with one another for retainingly engaging opposing radially extending portions of the control wheel and a pair of rudder pedal retaining members rigidly connected to one end of another rod member in a spaced apart, parallel relationship with one another for retainingly engaging a lever of each of the rudder pedals. The rod members are disposed in a telescoping relationship with respect to one another and are adjustably securable whereby the control wheel retaining members are rigidly locked in a selected position relative to the rudder pedal retaining members wherein the control wheel retaining members cooperate with the rudder pedal retaining members to secure the control wheel in a level position, the control column in an inward position, and the rudder pedals in a neutral or centered position.

Linear polysiloxanes containing alkylhydrosiloxane units, alkylvinylsiloxane units, and dialkylsiloxane units which polysiloxanes are siloxy-endblocked that are useful as vulcanizable one-component precursors for silicone elastomer compositions, a process for their preparation, a process for preparing vulcanized silicone elastomer compositions therefrom, and novel silicone elastomer compositions are described.

Vulcanizable one-component polysiloxanes

Polysiloxanes containing both alkylhydrosiloxane units and alkylvinylsiloxane units which polysiloxanes are siloxy-endblocked that are useful as starting materials in the preparation of silicon oxycarbide ceramic compositions, a process for their preparation, a process for preparing silicon oxycarbide ceramic compositions therefrom, and novel silicon oxycarbide ceramic compositions are described.

Self-curing ceramicizable polysiloxanes

Combustion-resistant heat-curable compositions comprising:

Aminoorganopolysiloxane compositions with improved combustion resistance

A dairy waste separator provided with a separation screen and longitudinally oscillating water pipes as the cleaner.

Solid waste separator

A novel branched hydrosilyl-modified polycarbosilane which can be pyrolized to obtain improved yields of silicon carbide. This novel branched hydrosilyl-modified polycarbosilane can be prepared in a one-step reaction from mixtures of silane monomers containing vinyl or halomethyl moieties with silane monomers containing hydrosilyl groups.

Hydrosilyl-modified polycarbosilane precursors for silicon carbide

Polyorganosiloxanes that are curable to crosslinked solid material, at ambient temperature upon exposure to gaseous oxygen, wherein the polyorganosiloxane contains, per molecule, at least one monovalent olefinically polyunsaturated organic radical containing at least one 1,3-pentadienylene group or 1,4-pentadienylene group bonded to silicon through silicon-to-carbon bond and wherein any remaining valence of silicon is satisfied by a silicon-to-oxygen-to-silicon bond or by a monovalent organic radical free of more than one olefinically unsaturated group per monovalent organic radical, which monovalent organic radical is bonded to silicon by a silicon-to-carbon bond. Compositions are also described containing the novel polyorganosiloxanes, suitable driers either chemically combined in the polyorganosiloxane or physically mixed therewith. The compositions can also contain fillers, plasticizers and/or catalyst activators.

Organosiloxane polymers and compositions containing same curable upon

Silicon carbide can be produced by the pyrolysis of branched polycarbosilanes which in turn are produced directly from selected monomer systems.

Branched polycarbosilanes and their use in the production of silicon

Silicon based liquid crystal compounds produced by the reaction of an isocyanatosilane with a Schiff base, aromatic ester, azo compound or cholesteryl compound. The liquid crystals are useful in those applications in which liquid crystals are currently used and they also have the capability of being firmly chemically bonded to certain substrates, such as glass, thus avoiding the need for hermetic sealing.

Liquid crystal silanes

The coupling action of polysulfide alkoxy silanes in rubbers is enhanced by the utilization of triorganophosphine compositions.
