  • Patent number: 10989650
    Abstract: An adhesive film and arrangement and method for verifying an adhesive attachment. A mechanical strength of adhesive film structure is matched to a target binding force of a bond produced using the film where when the film is pulled from the substrate or a material layer with peeling stress on the bond for verification of adhesive attachment, the film fails with exceedance of the mechanical strength of the structure when the strength of the bond attains or exceeds the target binding force, and the adhesive film when pulled apart does not fail when bond strength does not attain target binding force. An arrangement is disclosed for verification of adhesive attachment, having a substrate, a component bonded to the substrate by an adhesive film, and at least one test section. The test section is formed by projection of the film across an edge of the component bonded to the substrate, the projection being bonded to regions of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10052828
    Abstract: Method for producing a supporting profiled element configured to support a reinforcing profiled element that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product during a curing process of a method for producing a vehicle fuselage component, in which the reinforcing profiled element is bonded to a surface of a fuselage shell that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product. The method includes providing a profiled hose and detachably inserting end pieces at the two ends of the profiled hose, so as to seal the end pieces to the profiled hose by means of respective insertion connections.

  • Patent number: 9815246
    Abstract: A supporting profiled demerit is configured to support a reinforcing profiled element that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product during a curing process of a method for producing a vehicle fuselage component, during which the reinforcing profiled element is bonded to a surface of a fuselage shell that is also formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product. The supporting profiled element includes an air-impermeable profiled hose having two ends and a first end piece that is detachably inserted at a first of the two ends of the profiled hose so as to form an insertion connection. The first end piece is sealed against the profiled hose by the insertion connection.
