Abstract
A mobile cowl for a cascade-type thrust reverser includes an interior wall having an anterior zone, a movably mounted shutter and a link rod of which one end is connected to the shutter to actuate the shutter from one position to other. One of the positions may be a direct-jet position in which the shutter is situated facing the anterior zone, and other position may be a reverse-jet position in which the shutter is situated away from the anterior zone. The interior wall has, in the anterior zone, a part able to allow the link rod end to move beyond a normal position in the event of abnormal movements of the link rod end, without wrecking the interior wall.
