Patent ID: 8807291

Claim:
An attachment support for temporarily installing a piece of equipment on a wheel of an aircraft or a vehicle, the attachment support comprising: two support elements that are connected to one another by a shaft that together form a plane, whereby said support elements are intended to rest respectively on the ground and against a tire of said wheel, with said support elements extending along an axis parallel to the axis of the wheel; and displacement means comprising a U-shaped element with a base and two arms and an arm of lever connected an arm of said U-shaped element by one end, said displacement means being configured to place said support elements in a first inactive position in which the two support elements do not rest on the tire, and a second position called a locked position, in which the two support elements rest on the tire so as to lock the wheel, tangentially to said tire, whereby the two arms of said U-shaped element are mounted in a rotary manner respectively on the ends of one of the two support elements, said arm of lever being designed to be displaced from a horizontal position, in which said arm of lever extends parallel to the shaft, toward a vertical position, driving the rotation of said U-shaped element from a position where said U-shaped element is in the same plane as said support elements in an inactive position toward a position where the base of said U-shaped element rests on a surface of the ground, thus raising said corresponding support element to place said support elements in the locked position.
