A support assembly (1) for guiding a flap (42) on an aircraft wing (41) during deployment of the flap is disclosed. The assembly comprises a guide track (2) defining a two-dimensional path, a cylindrical bearing follower (12) having a longitudi-nal axis constrained so as to follow said path during flap deployment, a shaft (23) extending from the bearing follower and, a spherical bearing coupling an end of the shaft to the bearing follower such that the bearing follower is rotatable relative to the shaft about the longitudinal axis of the bearing follower as it travels along the track. The spherical bearing also enabling rotation of the shaft about its longitudinal axis relative to the bearing follower and rotation of the shaft about a centre point of the spherical bearing such that the flap is fret to move in multiple directions.
La présente invention se rapporte à un ensemble support (1) servant à guider un volet (42) sur une aile davion (41) pendant le déploiement du volet. Lensemble comprend un rail de guidage (2) délimitant un chemin bidimensionnel, un suiveur de palier cylindrique (12) ayant un axe longitudinal contraint de manière à suivre ledit chemin pendant le déploiement du volet, un arbre (23) sétendant depuis le suiveur de palier et, un palier sphérique accouplant une extrémité de larbre au suiveur de palier de sorte que le suiveur de palier puisse tourner par rapport à larbre autour de laxe longitudinal du suiveur de palier lorsquil se déplace le long du rail. Le palier sphérique permet également la rotation de larbre autour de son axe longitudinal par rapport au suiveur de palier et la rotation de larbre autour dun point central du palier sphérique de sorte que le volet soit libre de se déplacer dans de multiples directions.
