Abstract

1437385 Guiding cables on to winch drums UNITED AIRCRAFT CORP 23 Oct 1973 [6 Nov 1972] 49330/73 Heading B8B A cable winch comprises a drum 24, a guide sheave assembly 28 mounted in a frame (20), Fig. 1 (not shown), attached to cargo deck (22) of a helicopter (10) and a swivel fairlead 30. A double helix leadscrew 52 traverses the guide sheave assembly 28, trunnion and carriage assembly 76 allowing the guide sheave assembly 28 to swing as it traverses. Reaction means, separate from the leadscrew 52, for at least partially absorbing the horizontal and vertical loading on the guide sheave assembly 28, include reaction bar 78 and levelwind arms 112, 114 and a reaction strut 120. As shown the drum 24 has a large cable 34 and a small cable 38 and is driven by a reversible hydraulic motor 40 through a gear-box 42 which also drives an intermediate shaft 46 in turn driving clutch elements 62, 64, through chains 54, 58, at different speeds. Clutch elements 68, 70 are mounted on sliding rod 66 whose position is controlled by hydraulic actuator 72 itself actuated through a valve 92 operated by auto-control unit 94 to change the leadscrew speed 52 at the junction of the cables 34, 38 on the drum 24.
