DEVICE FOR MOUNTING-DISMANTLING AND TRANSPORTATION OF FLIGHT VEHICLE NOSE CONE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B64F1/00 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device is a welded tubular stricture made up of two identical front and rear supports mounted on turning rubber-tyre wheels and coupled by means of interconnected pipes attached to each support with special grips. Every support incorporates a hand-wheel provided with a thrust bearing engaged with the lifting screw. Every top end of the lifting screw accommodates rollers supporting a zigzag-like carriage with a translation motion flywheel engaged with the rear top end of the lifting screw. The front and rear support assemblies are attached to the carriage. The front support assembly is provided with two brackets having uniform belts enveloping the smaller diameter of the nose cone and a manual translation motion mechanism with the flywheel to move the nose cone front. The rear support assembly incorporates two side screws to fasten the nose cone rear and two manual top and bottom mechanisms. The rear support assembly top mechanism runs the flywheel to rotate the nose cone about its lengthwise axis. The rear support assembly bottom mechanism moves the nose cone crosswise by means of the flywheel. The front support incorporates a telescopic carrier to tow the device within the limits of an airfield. The rear support R.H. or L.H. side attached is a special carrier to get the nose cone prepared coupling with the flight vehicle fuselage.

EFFECT: higher quality of coupling the nose cone with fuselage.
