ABSTRACT:
A lightweight impact resistant container for protecting aircraft brake assembly during shipment and minimizing the required amount of handling during installation and removal of the brake assembly from the aircraft is disclosed. The device is comprised of a cylindrical tube, a base portion, and a top portion, each of which are divided in half along the axis of the cylindrical tube. The two halves are hinged together to allow the two halves to pivot open and shut. When the container is shut, latches are used to secure the container in a closed position. The container further includes a threaded rod assembly with two conical members threaded on the rod for supporting and holding the brake assembly in a fixed position during shipment and storage. The threaded rod assembly mechanically interfits with the top portion and the base portion of the container.
