  • Patent number: 11104424
    Abstract: The invention relates to a strut for the landing gear, preferably the nose landing gear, of an aircraft, which strut comprises a structure branched in a Y shape, wherein the Y-shaped structure is produced as a multi-piece structure and comprises at least two bars, wherein a first bar forms the first branch of the structure and a second bar forms the second branch of the structure and wherein both bars are composed partially or completely of a fiber composite material.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 31, 2021
    Assignee: Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH
    Inventors: Joerg Meyer, Anton Straub, Peet Vergouwen
  • Patent number: 10247289
    Abstract: Method for producing a compound, rotationally symmetrical component (3) with internal and external teeth consisting of a blank (1) and a toothed body (5), wherein the two parts (1, 5) are designed in the form of a pot and in a first method step are inserted coaxially one inside another with interlocking, mutual support and in a second method step are interlocked together with at least one forming tool (17, 27) applied against the (inner and/or outer) circumference, wherein in the second method step the circumferential surface (14, 14?) of said blank (1) is continuously deformed in a rolling forming process in the axial direction and in the radial direction such that the circumferential surface (14, 14?) of the blank (1) is deformed to interlock into the tooth bases (10) of the teeth (6) of the toothed body (5).

  • Patent number: 9662703
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a clinch-rivet connection using a rotary oscillating movement for connecting two metal components, wherein via the oscillating movement by means of forming rollers, a vertical, and simultaneously, a horizontal deformation is carried out, wherein one of the components has a preformed, flat, tab-like arc web, and the second component is provided with an at least partially V-shaped arc slot, which allows the accommodation of the preformed, flat, tab-like arc web, and via radial oscillating movement, the forming roller presses the arc web into the arced slot by superimposed axial movement, wherein the outer circumference of the forming rollers is provided with a wedge-shaped profile, and the oscillating movement of each forming roller with a specific pendulum path across the arc web does not exceed the length of the arc web.
