DEVICE TO HOLD OXIDISER FILLING AND DISCHARGING PIPELINE OF ROCKET BOOST VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64G1/64 

FIELD: space engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering. The proposed device designed to hold oxidiser filling and discharging pipeline in place comprises a support rigidly bolted to lower adapter and fastened thereto with two adjustable-length expandable ropes, their length being adjusted with the help of adjusting elements comprising spherical and end hinges. The top of aforesaid support limits the shift of aforesaid pipeline towards the bottom adapter. Two length- and angle-adjusted fly-off ropes are connected to the fork attached to the support bottom, the rope adjustment being made with the help of spherical hinged made up of threaded lugs, spherical inserts and nuts. The fork recesses are furnished with support spherical surfaces. The said fly-off ropes are connected, by their opposite ends, with the detachable member of the hydraulic split joint. The limiting arc is fitted on the said fork, while limiting ropes serve to limit the shift of aforesaid pipeline towards the rocket boost vehicle sustainer jet nozzle. The said limiting ropes are connected, by their one end and with the help of hinged, with the aforesaid support center and, with the other end, with the detachable member of the hydraulic split joint of the oxidiser filling and discharging pipeline.

EFFECT: reduced weight.
