Embodiment Construction

[0022] figure 1 and figure 2 The helicopter 10 is shown in the process of being assembled with an external cargo basket 12 . The part of the cargo basket shown in the figure is installed on the front part 8 and the tail part 6 of the transverse tube of the helicopter undercarriage using the assembly device of the present invention. When the mounting device of the present invention is used in a particular helicopter and cargo basket design, it is contemplated that the invention can be applied to many cargo basket designs and helicopter designs as long as the helicopter is equipped with a fixed position attachment linkable mounting system and cargo basket. Landing gear or other fixed-position components.

[0023] The basket itself can come in many shapes and sizes and be made from different materials. The cargo basket 12 shown in the drawings is made of a frame, in which the stainless steel mesh 20 (only the part of the stainless steel mesh is shown in the drawings) can be c...

Abstract

A mounting assembly for mounting an external cargo basket onto a helicopter and a method of using the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly comprises a plurality of connectors - corresponding male and female connectors being positioned on the helicopter and on the basket, one of said corresponding connectors being an articulating connector. The cargo basket is connected to the helicopter by first connecting the articulating connector then pivoting and rotating the cargo basket using the articulating connector so as to align and connect the remaining connections.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an assembly device for a helicopter external cargo basket and a method for fixing the helicopter cargo basket on the helicopter by using the assembly device. Background technique [0002] Helicopter is a very widely used aircraft. Helicopters are widely used for a variety of missions because of their ability to hover and vertically lift. Therefore, they occasionally need to carry external cargo. These cargoes may be too large to be accommodated in the aircraft cabin, or the cargoes themselves may endanger the occupants of the aircraft. [0003] There are many options for transporting external cargo. For example, a cable extending from the helicopter can be used to hoist the cargo, or use nets or baskets, pods, etc. In addition, the hanging cargo basket has been developed towards the direction of facilitating the transportation of the hanging basket. These are usually mounted on the landing gear of a helicopter, providing a...
