Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly for a turbojet engine which includes a pylon ( 1 ) and a nacelle supported by said pylon ( 1 ). Said nacelle ( 3 ) includes a grid thrust reverser ( 21 ) including an integral cowl mounted so as to slide on rails ( 15 ), which are arranged on both sides of said pylon ( 1 ), between a direct jet position and a thrust reversal position. Said assembly is characterized in that it includes means ( 23, 31 ) for blocking the sliding movement of the cowl on the rails (15), said means being inserted between the pylon ( 1 ) and the cowl.

Claims (9)

1. An assembly for a turbojet engine, including a pylon and nacelle supported by said pylon, said nacelle including a grid thrust reverser including an integral cowl mounted so as to slide on rails, which are arranged on both sides of said pylon, between a direct jet position and a thrust reversal position, said assembly comprising means for locking the sliding movement of the integral cowl on the rails, said locking means being inserted between the pylon and the cowl,

wherein said locking means comprise a bolt comprising a body and a strike articulated on said body and a locking member capable of cooperating with said strike, and

wherein said body is mounted inside said pylon, and the strike passing through an opening formed in said pylon, and the locking member is secured to the cowl.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the locking means are comprised in a thickness of a structure of said cowl.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein electric power cables are provided for said bolt that have an excess length.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein electric power cables are provided for said bolt configured to be disconnected from a stationary structure of the nacelle when said cowl goes from the direct jet position to the thrust reversal position.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein grids are slidingly mounted on other rails positioned on either side of the pylon, between a usage position and a maintenance position, said other rails being radially and circumferentially offset relative to the sliding rails of said integral cowl.

6. The assembly according to claim 5 , wherein circumferential play is provided between the locking member and the strike in an unlocked position.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said bolt comprises a blocking pin of a locking system of said strike, which is configured to be manually removed.
