Abstract

See full text

A handle for rotating an input shaft of a landing gear defines an elongated slot, and a rod extends through a hole in the input shaft and through the slot so that the rod is slidable within the slot in its elongated direction between a disengaged position and an engaged position. Preferably, the handle defines a non-circular opening for receiving and engaging therewithin a non-circular outer portion of the input shaft in the engaged position. Preferably, the slot includes first and second sections, and a lug is connected to the rod and fits within the first section of the slot and not within the second section so that the lug when in the first section locks the rod in the engaged position. The lug is preferably spring biased into the first section to automatically lock the rod when the handle is pivoted from a stowed position to an operational position.
