  • Publication number: 20200108912
    Abstract: An aircraft component includes a main body and at least one lug extending from the main body. The lug is formed of a composite component, a sleeve, and a filler component. The sleeve has a through hole extending along a longitudinal axis. The composite component includes continuous fibers embedded in a matrix. The sleeve is at a distance from the main body. The composite component extends from the main body around at least a section of the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve and back to the main body. The continuous fibers of the composite component extend from the main body around the section of the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve and back to the main body. An intermediate space is between the sleeve and the main body and is delimited by the sleeve and the composite component. The filler component is within the intermediate space.

  • Patent number: 8596583
    Abstract: An mechanism for kinematic guidance of a body during its adjustment on a supporting structure. The body is moved between a refracted position and an extended position while performing a movement in a longitudinal direction in combination with a rotary movement. The mechanism includes first and second transmission levers for coupling to the supporting structure, a base connection lever to which these levers are coupled, third and fourth transmission levers coupled to the base connection lever, an adjusting lever coupled to the third and fourth transmission levers for attachment of the adjustable body, to adjust the body by a movement of the adjusting lever, and a coupling lever coupled to the first or second transmission lever and to the third or fourth transmission lever. During a movement of the adjusting lever, the first and second transmission levers each move opposite to the third and fourth transmission levers.
