Abstract
An apparatus is for attaching an aerodynamically functional film to a surface of a body around which flow passes. The apparatus includes: a self-adhesive, redetachable positioning film having positioning aids for the exact positioning of the positioning film on the surface of the body around which flow passes and having at least one application area for the aerodynamically functional film that is to be applied.
Claims13
A kit for attaching an aerodynamically functional film to a surface of a body around which flow passes, the kit comprising:
- an apparatus for attaching the aerodynamically functional film to the surface of the body, the apparatus comprising a self-adhesive, detachable positioning film having positioning aids for the exact positioning of the positioning film on the surface of the body, and having at least one application area for the aerodynamically functional film that is to be applied;
- and
- the aerodynamically functional film, which is self-adhesive and configured to adhere to the surface of the body while the positioning film is attached, and is configured to remain on the surface of the body when the positioning film is subsequently removed, the aerodynamically functional film being provided in the at least one application area.
An apparatus for attaching an aerodynamically functional film to a surface of a body around which flow passes, the apparatus comprising:
- a self-adhesive, detachable positioning film having positioning aids for the exact positioning of the positioning film on the surface of the body and having at least one application area,
- wherein an application window, within which the aerodynamically functional film is configured to be applied to the surface of the body after attachment of the positioning film, is provided in the at least one application area.
A method for attaching an aerodynamically functional film to a surface of a body around which flow passes, the method comprising:
- a) applying a self-adhesive, detachable positioning film to the surface of the body, the positioning film having positioning aids predefining a positioning of the positioning film on the surface of the body and having an application area, the applying of the positioning film being in the position predefined by the positioning aids;
- b) applying the aerodynamically functional film to the surface of the body around which flow passes in the application area of the positioning film;
- and
- c) removing the positioning film.
