Aircraft fuselage section
View Patent ↗The invention relates to an aircraft fuselage section comprising several longitudinal strengthening beams attached to the fuselage section lower panel and several longitudinal rails intended for supporting the floor boards, characterized by at least one crosspiece laid transversally between two strengthening beams and supporting one longitudinal rail, said crosspiece said crosspiece being mounted swiveling on the fuselage section lower panel in order to permit the rotation of the crosspiece around a longitudinal axis.
1. Aircraft fuselage section comprising:
a number of longitudinal strengthening beams attached to a fuselage section lower panel and a number of longitudinal rails designed to support floor boards, in which at least one crosspiece is laid transversally between at least two strengthening beams of said number of longitudinal beams and supports at least one longitudinal rail of said number of longitudinal rails, said at least one crosspiece being mounted swiveling on the fuselage section lower panel in order to permit the rotation of the at least one crosspiece around a longitudinal axis; wherein the at least one crosspiece comprises a double pivot articulation comprised of a first pivot and a second pivot, the first pivot being attached to a crosspiece main body of said at least one crosspiece and the second pivot being attached to the fuselage section lower panel; in which a first end of the crosspiece main body is fitted with the double pivot articulation and a second end of said main body is fitted with a pivot linkage.
2. Aircraft fuselage section according to claim 1 , in which the at least one crosspiece comprises a plurality of crosspiece, which are laid in series between the at least two strengthening beams; wherein said at least one longitudinal rail is located longitudinally between the at least two strengthening beams and being supported by a series of said plurality of crosspieces.
3. Aircraft fuselage section according to claim 1 , in which said at least one longitudinal rail is linked to the at least one crosspiece by means of a vertical rod.
4. Aircraft fuselage section according to claim 3 , in which the vertical rod is mounted on a pivot on the crosspiece in order to permit rotation of the vertical rod around a transversal axis relative to the aircraft; where the pivot is located at a point distinct from the double articulation and the crosspiece pivot linkage and distinct from the first and second end of the crosspiece main body.
5. Aircraft fuselage section according to claim 1 , in which said at least one longitudinal rail is fixed on one of the two strengthening beams along which the at least one longitudinal rail is laid.
6. Aircraft fuselage section according to claim 1 , comprising a center wing box, of which the lower panel is an upper panel of said aircraft wing box.
