SELF-LEVELING STABILIZER STRUT RETRACTABLE ASSEMBLY, VEHICLE AND AIRCRAFT Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B64C1/22 B64D9/00 B60S9/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: unit of self-leveled retractable stabilization post, which interacts with ground during vehicle operation, for example, transport aircraft during loading/unloading operations. Stabilization post assembly is connected to onboard equipment of aircraft and can be actuated via hydraulic and/or electric systems of actuator by aircraft operator in order to stabilize aircraft during ground loading/unloading operations of cargo and/or personnel. Transversely separated pair of centering mechanisms is attached to the main post and determines the state of zero spring load corresponding to the aligned state of the main post. Displacement of the main post from the aligned state in response forces the centering mechanism to exert a spring-load in the opposite direction of displacement, forcing centering mechanism returns the state of zero spring-loaded load, thereby returning the main post to its aligned state. Vehicle and aircraft are characterized by using rack assembly.

EFFECT: group of inventions is aimed at improvement of safety of loading/unloading operations.
