Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a locking device (20) operable to prevent accidental deployment of a pivot door thrust reverser. The locking device (20) generally comprises a pin lock receiver (32) operable to fixedly couple with a pivot door (18), a housing (34) operable to be coupled with a nacelle (14), and a piston (36) having a pin lock (38). The piston (36) is at least partially positioned within the housing (34) and is operable to be actuated between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position the pin lock (38) is operable to mate with the pin lock receiver (32) and in the unlocked position the pin lock (38) is detached from the pin lock receiver (32) to allow deployment of the pivot door (18). Such a configuration allows pivot door thrust reversers to be locked without requiring the use of heavy and cumbersome parts.
