The device includes a metallic support includes a seating surface matching the shape of the receiving side; a groove which accommodates a flange of the stiffener inserted in the groove; an insulative supporting structure for positioning a bearing surface against the receiving side; and a conformal panel for applying pressure forcing said bearing surface against said receiving side. A heater temporarily raises the temperature of bearing surface of the stiffener and the adjacent receiving side of the skin to above the melting point of the matrix when pressure is applied thereby welding the stiffener to the skin.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Airbus Operations (SAS)Inventors: Pierric Malasse, Florian Chotard
