Abstract
An aircraft undercarriage mechanism,comprising a first lock member,mounted on the undercarriage,, the first lock member being engageable with a second lock member,mounted on a wing,of the aircraft. The first lock member,comprises a pivotable arm,which carries a roller,. The roller,is rotatable and slidable on the arm,and is engageable with a catch,on the second lock member,. The provision of the pivotable arm,and slidable roller,permits relative movement between the lock members,when the undercarriage,is retracted with the lock members interengaged to minimise transmission of forces created by wing deflection from one lock member to the other.
