Title:

THREE-DIMENSIONAL WOVEN CORNER FITTING WITH LAP JOINT PREFORMS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/105374

Kind Code:

A8

Abstract:

A three-dimensional corner lap joint preform and a method of forming a three- dimensional corner lap joint preform including a woven flange with one or more legs that extend from the flange. The legs may include one or more independently woven portions which allow formation of a corner without darting the leg or adding additional reinforcement. The independently woven portions may include warp fibers which are not woven into the preform. The unwoven area al lows removal of a portion of the leg prior to formation of the corner, allowing the portions of the leg to overlap and form a lap joint.
