Abstract
Thrust reverser for a jet engine of the type with doors equipped with auxiliary flaps. The invention relates to thrust reversers with doors 13 having a front deflector 15. The door is equipped, on its inner face, with one or two auxiliary flaps 16 articulated about axles 17 and controlled by a lever 21 articulated on the door at 22 and stressed into a retracted flap position by means of a spring 24. At the end of closure of the door, the end 31 of the lever interacts with a stop 33 which ensures that the lever tilts and that the flap 16 moves away from the door 13.
