Patent number: 10786942Abstract: A process produces a tubular hybrid molding made of a plastics foam element that exhibits temperature-dependent shrinkage and a fiber-plastics composite. The method includes inserting the plastics foam element, unhardened first and second fiber-plastics composite sections into a mold, where the plastics foam element has open pores at locations in contact with the fiber-plastics composite. The plastics foam element and the fiber-plastics composite sections are shaped by the mold. The mold is exposed to a first temperature to minimize the viscosity of the resin in the fiber-plastics composite. The mold is exposed to a second temperature to harden the fiber-plastics composite and to achieve mechanical fixing of the plastics foam element thereon. The mold is exposed to a third temperature to shrink the plastics foam element and cause its shape to conform to that of the mold and achieve a final shape of the said element.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Diehl Aviation Laupheim GmbHInventor: Dietmar Voelkle

Publication number: 20200164958Abstract: A cladding element having a heating layer in a sandwich construction. In the case of a cladding element in a sandwich construction for an interior space of an aircraft, the cladding element includes a core layer and a first cover layer. The first cover layer forms a visible side of the cladding element. An electrically heating layer extends at least across a sub-face of the first cover layer and serves for generating heat for emission through the first cover layer is disposed between the core layer and the first cover layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Rainer Müller, Andreas Baatz, Dietmar Voelkle, Florian Hesselbach, Tobias Lechner, Norbert Staudigel, Benjamin Joemann

Patent number: 8800922Abstract: The description covers cabin components for aircraft, which can be produced with a sandwich structure and may have the components 1003 for signal and/or power transmission. The cabin components in this case have at least two prepreg layers 1001, 1005 and, for example, a honeycomb layer 1002, which can be connected to one another by pressing and heating. Furthermore, electrical and/or optical signal paths are shown on cabin components, which can be produced by positioning them there or printing. In addition, according to the description, signal and/or power transmission can take place beyond the boundary of cabin components, by means of a transmitter/receiver path.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignees: Diehl Aircabin GmbH, Diehl Aerospace GmbHInventors: Frank Schmid, Marc Renz, Norbert Knopp, Jürgen Grabmann, Dietmar Völkle, Markus Klingseis, Wolf-Dieter Kuhnla, Ralph Pätzold, Dirk-Achim Schevardo, Peter Younes

Patent number: 8644022Abstract: An internal device arrangement for a passenger cabin, for example of an aircraft, is provided. The device has an internal device element which is selected from a group including wall paneling, window panel, side panel, ceiling paneling and luggage compartment. The device has an electrical apparatus fitted in or on the internal device element; and at least one line for supplying power to the electrical apparatus. Furthermore, a heat dissipation device in the form of an integral component part of the internal device element, the electrical apparatus and/or the at least one line is provided. Such a heat dissipation device makes it possible to dispense with an additional heat sink for temperature management and thus save installation space and weight.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Diehl Aerospace GmbHInventors: Frank Schmid, Marc Renz, Norbert Knopp, Jürgen Grabmann, Dietmar Völkle, Markus Klingseis, Wolf-Dieter Kuhnla
