Title:
DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR CONNECTION ROD, FOR BRACING A FUSELAGE STRUCTURE OF AN AIRCRAFT AND/OR FOR FASTENING A COMPONENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2008090039
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (18, 61), in particular a connection rod (1, 19), for bracing a fuselage structure (9, 10, 27, 28, 45, 74) and/ or for fastening components on the fuselage structure (9, 10, 27, 28, 45, 74). In one embodiment, the joints (29, 30, 53) are integrated into fuselage structure (9, 10, 27, 28, 45) for linking on both sides of connection rod (1, 19) to fuselage structure (9, 10, 27, 28, 45). As a result of the integration of joints (29, 30, 53), a reduced number of individual parts is produced in comparison to previously known embodiments, which leads to a reduction in weight, a reduced maintenance and servicing outlay and an improved reliability against failure. Moreover, device (18, 61) according to the invention enables the introduction of forces in the region of neutral fibres (43, 44) of fuselage structure (9, 10, 27, 28, 45, 74). A further configuration of device (61) provides only a one-sided articulated linking of a component (65) to fuselage structure (74) by means of (first) end portion (63). Second end portion (64) is screwed to fuselage structure (74). To this end, both end portions are provided with a thread at least in sections.
