Patent number: 9518509Abstract: The present disclosure related to a method for manufacturing a structure with cellular cores that can be used in a structural panel of a turbojet nacelle, including at least one block of cellular cores. The at least one block of cellular cores includes a central portion with core honeycomb cells, and two side portions each including side honeycomb cells. The side honeycomb cells have edge honeycomb cells situated on edges of a side part of a block, and adjacent honeycomb cells. In particular, the method includes: A) forming junction walls on the side honeycomb cells by opening the edge honeycomb cells, the junction walls being capable of interacting for forming a junction area; B) unfolding the junction walls thus formed in step A; and C) joining the junction walls thus unfolded in step B and belonging to two different side portions end-to-end.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: AIRCELLEInventors: Bertrand Desjoyeaux, Thierry Deschamps, John Moutier

Patent number: 9162747Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a sound attenuation panel having a first cellular core structure and a second cellular core structure joined in a junction area (J). The method includes: a) a joining edge of the first cellular core structure is joined to a corresponding joining edge of the second cellular core structure, thereby forming the junction area; b) the first cellular core structure and the second cellular core structure are placed between an inner skin and an outer skin of the panel. In particular, the method further has a step prior to step a), in which one junction reinforcement is inserted between the joining edge of the first cellular core structure and the corresponding joining edge of the second cellular core structure in the junction area.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: AIRCELLEInventors: Franck Maze, John Moutier

Patent number: 9109509Abstract: A unit for an aircraft thruster is provided that includes a first ferrule configured to be attached to a second ferrule and a first connection flange configured to be secured to a second corresponding connection flange secured to the second ferrule. The connection flange includes a portion forming a plane extending along a radial direction with respect to the first ferrule. A link between the first ferrule and the corresponding connection flange is offset to a distance from said plane corresponding to a length for damping a shear-generating flexural moment, generated by fluxes of forces passing through the first ferrule.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: AIRCELLEInventors: Christophe Thorel, Bertrand Desjoyeaux, Florent Bouillon, John Moutier, Stéphane Bardin

Publication number: 20140086678Abstract: An assembly for an aircraft nacelle includes a reinforcing plate and a flange that includes one first portion and one second portion. The first portion of the flange is attached to another flange, and the second portion extends transversely relative to the first portion and is attached onto a panel of the assembly. In particular, the reinforcing plate is attached directly, or optionally indirectly, onto the flange via an intermediate plate attached between the reinforcing plate and the flange. The reinforcing plate has a beveled portion opposite the second portion of the flange.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2013Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicant: AIRCELLEInventors: Xavier CAZUC, Christophe Thorel, John Moutier

Patent number: 8636107Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for repairing a portion of an acoustic panel for a nacelle of an aircraft turbojet engine. The panel includes an acoustic skin in which a plurality of acoustic holes are drilled, a solid skin, and a cellular acoustic structure. The cellular acoustic structure, being arranged between the acoustic skin and the solid skin, has a plurality of cells, each of which has one or more drainage openings arranged in one or more of the walls forming each cell. The method includes a step of: defining a part of the acoustic panel to be cut; forming a cutting area closed by the acoustic skin; injecting a resin through the acoustic holes; positioning a replacement cellular acoustic structure in the cutting area and on the acoustic skin; forming a solid replacement skin on the replacement cellular acoustic structure.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: AircelleInventors: John Moutier, Emmanuel Anfray, Franck Maze, Herve Simon
