AIRCRAFT DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM AND AIRCRAFT DOOR ARRANGEMENT
First Claim
1. An aircraft door locking system, comprising:
- a first locking element which is fastenable to a first element of an aircraft door arrangement to be rotatable about a first axis of rotation and has a receiving opening and a bearing shell,a second locking element which is fastenable to a second element of the aircraft door arrangement and comprises a locking bolt,wherein, in a release state of the aircraft door locking system, the locking bolt of the second locking element is insertable through the receiving opening of the first locking element by means of a translatory relative movement of the first and the second locking element in a plane perpendicular to the first axis of rotation of the first locking element and, by a subsequent rotation of the first locking element about the first axis of rotation in a locking direction, is positionable in the bearing shell of the first locking element in order to transfer the aircraft door locking system into its locking state, anda torque-generating device which is configured in order, in the locking state of the aircraft door locking system, to generate a torque which opposes a rotation of the first locking element about the first axis of rotation in a direction of a release direction opposite to the locking direction if a force directed perpendicular to the first axis of rotation is exerted on at least one of the bearing shell of the first locking element or on the locking bolt.

Abstract
An aircraft door locking system comprises a first locking element fastenable to a first element of an aircraft door arrangement rotatable about a rotation axis and having a receiving opening and a bearing shell. A second locking element is fastenable to a door arrangement second element and comprises a locking bolt. In a release state, the locking bolt is insertable through the receiving opening and, by a rotation of the first locking element about the rotation axis in a locking direction, is positionable in the bearing shell to effect the locking state. A torque-generating device is configured, in the locking state, to generate a torque opposing a rotation of the first locking element about the rotation axis in a release direction opposite to the locking direction if a force directed substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis is exerted on the bearing shell and/or on the locking bolt.
