ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a landing gear, wherein a connecting plate 12 is joined to a strut tube 5 of a shock strut which is joined to a bearing member 1, and wherein the strut tube 5 houses an inner member 8 which with its terminal end engages the bearing member 1. It is desirable to model a shock strut formed with a deflecting C-member and hydraulic spring system with simple means as authentically as possible. This is achieved in that the strut tube 5 is joined to the bearing member 1 via a spring-action C-member 7 to permit up and down motions while the connecting plate 12 is solidly attached, in that the bearing member 1 is of integral construction with the connecting plate 12, the strut tube 5 and the C-member and in that the inner member is formed as a metal pin 8 which is axially slidable in the strut-tube 5, the metal pin 8 being loaded at its one end by a metal compression coil spring 10 abutting on a fixed part at its far end. Integral construction and the use of the two simple and low-cost metal parts, viz the pin and coil spring, afford simplified production of plastic parts and simplified assembly.
