Abstract:
Locking hinge apparatus for aircraft doors are disclosed. An example locking hinge apparatus includes a hinge base to couple to a frame of an aircraft. A hinge gooseneck is to pivotally couple a door to the hinge base. The hinge gooseneck is to allow the door to move between a closed position and an open position relative to the frame. A lever is pivotally coupled to the hinge base. The lever is to pivot relative to the hinge base between a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction. The lever includes a lock to engage a portion of the hinge gooseneck to prevent rotational movement of the door relative to the frame when the door is in the open position. A biasing element is to urge the lever in the first rotational direction.

Claim (Index 18):
A locking hinge apparatus comprising:\n means for pivotally coupling a door to a frame of an aircraft, the means for pivotally coupling including first means for attaching to the door and second means for attaching to the frame, the first means for attaching being pivotally coupled to the second means for attaching to enable rotation of the door relative to the frame between an open position and a closed position; and means for locking pivotal movement of the door relative to the frame when the door is in the open position, the means for locking being rotatably coupled to the second means for attaching, the means for locking to rotate relative to the second means for attaching between a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction.
