  • Patent number: 6179086
    Abstract: A sandwich composite panel (2) provides a load bearing structural member as well as noise protection, especially for a helicopter fuselage cell or cabin. The panel (2) includes an inner honey-comb core (6) made up of hollow cell bodies (4) extending trans-versely and sandwiched between first and second cover skins (8, 10) of fiber composite material. In order to achieve a low weight, a simple manufacturing, and good noise absorption, at least one of the cover skins (8) adapted to face the main source of noise (H) is made up of an open mesh fiber composite net (12) and a flexible cover film (16) applied on the outer surface of this fiber composite net (12). The net (12) has a smaller mesh size than the inner cross-sectional size of the hollow cell bodies (4).

  • Patent number: 5066267
    Abstract: A transmission for driving a swivel joint between two elements which are rotatable relative to each other. Cam disks are moved by means of a multiple eccentric, each such cam disk having an outer edge in the form of a closed cycloidal path and being arranged so that it can be rolled off in a central wheel in a positive engagement with a gearing formed by pins or the like. A driving element engages by means of driving pins, with the cam disks by way of bores arranged being in it, the driving element being subdivided into two driving disks which, are spaced from one another and from the cam disks at a distance of at least the central wheel and are combined by means of the driving pins, the driving disks and the central wheel being rotatably movable relative to one another.
