  • Patent number: 9608320
    Abstract: A method for opening a dome for the protection of a device to be protected, fitted in a part described as fixed, in which, in the initial position before opening, a generally plane interface separates the dome from the fixed part, is provided. The method includes connecting the dome to the fixed part by at least two independent double-link connections that are movable in rotation between the dome and the fixed part. The links in a single connection being fitted in common to the dome and to the fixed part to form overall a pantograph in the shape of an isosceles trapezium which, during opening, opens out by pivoting until maximum opening is achieved, so that the dome moves away from the fixed part via a combination of movements in translation and in rotation.

  • Patent number: 8657232
    Abstract: An installation of systems in aircraft fuselages such as thermophonic insulation mattresses and devices such as onboard systems, and bundles of electric wires or fluid ducts (air, water, oxygen, hydraulic fluid). A structure for fastening onto an aircraft fuselage includes at least frames and stringers, the structure further including: fuselage stabilizers connecting the frames and stringers, wherein two stabilizers of two consecutive frames face each other between the two consecutive frames; and a strip board connecting the two stabilizers and including a fastening mechanism arranged so as to receive corresponding fastening mechanisms of the insulation mattresses and the devices.

  • Patent number: 8436243
    Abstract: An anti-lightning system for a composite structure having an external surface liable to be subjected to an air flow, the aforementioned system including at least one electrically conducting strip and fasteners fastening the aforementioned strip to the structure, the aforementioned strip being electrically connected to an electrical earth for removing current. According the disclosed embodiments, the aforementioned strip has a shape intended to collaborate with a housing created at the aforementioned external surface so that the external surface of the strip lies flush with the aforementioned external surface of the structure, and the aforementioned fasteners include an upper part flush with the external surface of the strip.
