  • Patent number: 11078942
    Abstract: The invention is directed to an insert system comprising an insert with a base and an outer skirt extending from the base, thereby forming a chamber. The outer skirt is provided with a first inner skirt surface and a first outer skirt surface. The insert system further comprises a panel with a core structure and a first cover sheet that at least partially covers the core structure. The first cover sheet defines a first outer panel surface and has an opening. At least one piston is arranged in the opening and beneath the first outer panel surface. According to the invention the piston during mounting of the insert sweeps into the chamber to discharge an adhesive agent from the chamber into the core structure via at least one pathway.

  • Patent number: 9874306
    Abstract: A lightweight support structure includes a composite sandwich panel having a first face sheet and a lightweight core attached to the face sheet and an essentially rotationally symmetric cut-out extending through the first face sheet and into the lightweight core. The cut-out has an essentially rotationally symmetric inner cut-out and outer cut-out arranged essentially concentric with respect to each other, providing for a support there between. The support has a core support cut from the lightweight core and a support face sheet disc on top, cut from of the first face sheet. A rotationally symmetric insert is fitted into the cut-out for load application and/or anchorage of various components into and onto the sandwich panel.
