Abstract
The present invention relates to a take-up device for thrust forces (14) for an aircraft engine attachment pylon (4), comprising a first fitting (194) attached to a rigid structure (108) of the attachment pylon, and two lateral connecting rods (14a) for take-up of thrust forces. It also comprises an axis system (190) bearing three first ball joint organs (192a, 196a) arranged along the latter and belonging respectively to a primary ball joint (192) and two secondary ball joints (196) arranged on either side of the primary ball joint, the first fitting (194) integrating a second ball joint organ (192b) cooperating with the first organ (192a) of the primary ball joint (192), and an end of each of the two connecting rods (14a) integrating a second ball joint organ (196b) cooperating respectively with the first organs (196a) of the two secondary ball joints (196).
