  • Patent number: 5461534
    Abstract: An antisparking structure, in particular for aircraft, comprises two components made of composite electrically conductive material which overlie each other at least in part and which are assembled together by using an electrically conductive screw having a countersunk head. A conduction-improving arrangement is provided for improving the conduction of electricity between the overlying portions of the two components. Electrical insulation is provided for electrically insulating the screw from the second component, at least in the vicinity of the nut. Thus, when lightning strikes the head of the screw, the lightning current flows between the screw and the first component, and then between the first component and the second component through the conduction-improving arrangement, without there being any arc between the nut and the second component.
