Abstract

See full text

The apparatus comprises a trolley movable along a trackway on the deck. A vertically extendable and retractable probe is carried by a laterally movable mounting structure adjacent one end of the trolley and has an upper end arranged for location in an engagement provided beneath the helicopter fuselage. The probe is power operated and is arranged to be capable of selectively applying a downward force on the helicopter when the probe is located in the engagement, and a locking device is provided to selectively lock the probe mounting structure in a centralized position on the trolley. In one described embodiment, the apparatus is particularly adapted for use with a harpoon type deck-lock system.
