Abstract: A latching mechanism is provided for engaging an aircraft surface panel to a support member. The aircraft panel is provided with a post extending from the lower surface, which extends through a panel support member into a post engagement mechanism. The post engagement mechanism defines a rotatable sleeve, which rotates for locking and unlocking engagement between the post and the post engagement mechanism. Locking engagement continues when power to the post engagement actuator is terminated. The post engagement mechanism may utilize various types of actuators, including mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic. The aircraft panel and the panel support member are translatable into and out of abutting engagement independent of the need for any contact with the aircraft panel upper surface.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于将飞行器面板接合到支撑构件的闭锁机构。 飞行器面板设置有从下表面延伸的柱，其延伸穿过面板支撑构件进入柱接合机构。 柱接合机构限定可旋转的套筒，其可旋转以锁定和解锁柱和接合机构之间的接合。 当后接合致动器的电源终止时，锁定接合继续。 后接合机构可以使用各种类型的致动器，包括机械，液压和气动。 飞机面板和面板支撑构件可平移进入和离开邻接接合，而不需要与飞行器面板上表面的任何接触。
