Abstract:
1. A device for taking up thrust forces for an aircraft engine pylon, the device comprising: two lateral link rods for taking up thrust forces; a spreader bar pivotally coupled to a fixed component of the aircraft engine pylon through a spreader bar pivot mechanism about a first axis, arranged between two lateral ends of the spreader bar on which the two lateral link rods respectively pivot, each through a link rod pivot mechanism about a second axis; and safety means which allow rotation of the spreader bar around the first axis of the spreader bar pivot mechanism to be restricted, wherein the safety means includes, associated with each of the two lateral link rods, first end-stop means provided on the link rod, as well as second end-stop means provided on the spreader bar, and wherein the first end-stop means and the second end-stop means are used to stop the relative rotation in the given direction of rotation once the first end-stop means and the second end-stop means have come into contact as a result of relative rotation between the spreader bar and the link rod around the second axis of the link rod pivot mechanism and in a given direction of rotation.
