Container for receiving a stack of brake disks, in particular aircraft brake disks

Abstract

The invention relates to a container for receiving different types of heat pack, the container comprising a base carrying a central support suitable for receiving equally well one or another of the heat packs, wherein the support includes at least a plurality of respective seats that are staggered so that each receives one of the heat packs, each seat being adapted to co-operate with at least an annular surface portion of the corresponding heat pack.

1 . A container for receiving different types of heat pack, the container comprising a base carrying a central support suitable for receiving equally well one or another of the heat packs, wherein the support includes at least a plurality of respective seats that are staggered so that each receives one of the heat packs, each seat being adapted to co-operate with at least an annular surface portion of the corresponding heat pack. 
   
   
       2 . A container according to  claim 1 , wherein the support presents notches defining a passage under the seats, enabling a hoist tool to be inserted for lifting the heat pack. 
   
   
       3 . A container according to  claim 1 , wherein the support includes a frustoconical inside wall forming a centering member on a frustoconical centering member carried by a cover of a complementary container. 
   
   
       4 . A container according to  claim 1 , wherein the base has a side wall that co-operates with the base to form a bottom shell of the container. 
   
   
       5 . A container according to  claim 4 , wherein the side wall includes stiffeners forming centering members adapted to co-operate with a cylindrical outside surface of a heat pack of corresponding diameter. 
   
   
       6 . A container according to  claim 4 , further including a top shell forming a cover, the two shells resting one on the other via respective peripheral collars that are mutually centering. 
   
   
       7 . A container according to  claim 1 , wherein the staggered seats have different slopes. 
   
   
       8 . A container according to  claim 1 , wherein the staggered seats have the same slope or different slopes, and are interconnected by transition zones.
