Abstract: A support device, in particular an assembly support device for stabilizing a body part of a person includes a plurality of hinged-together elements designed to at least partially envelop a body part of a person, so that the plurality of hinged-together elements collectively form a flexible shell for the body part of the person. The flexible shell is designed to transfer a portion of a load acting on the body part of the person in order to stabilize the body part of the person. A vehicle, to which is secured an assembly support device, as well as a method for stabilizing a body part of a person during the assembly of a vehicle are also described.

Abstract: This relate to a method for attaching a component to a fuselage section of an aircraft or spacecraft. In a step of the method, a rail is arranged within a fuselage section of an aircraft, which rail extends in a longitudinal direction of the fuselage section. In another step, a support structure is movably mounted to the rail such that the support structure can be moved along the rail in the longitudinal direction of the fuselage section. The support structure comprises a positioning unit for positioning a tool for attaching the component to the fuselage section at a location where the component is to be attached to the fuselage section. The embodiments also relate to a device for attaching a component to a fuselage section of an aircraft.

Abstract: A device for sealing a joint includes a body having a bulging inner space, a first opening, in a first portion, from the outside into the inner space for introducing a sealing agent into the inner space, a second opening, at its second end, from the outside into the inner space, wherein the second opening and the inner space are designed such that the body can be positioned over a protruding part of a joint and the protruding part of the joint is completely surrounded by the body.

Abstract: The embodiment relates to an assembly supporting device for supporting a technician during the assembly of an aircraft or spacecraft. The assembly supporting device comprises a mat with a plurality of chambers filled with a gas. The assembly supporting device further comprises a sensor unit designed to determine a respective current gas pressure in the individual gas-filled chambers. A pressure regulating unit can be used to set the respective gas pressure in the individual chambers as a function of the current gas pressure determined in the respective chambers.
