Abstract
The present invention relates to a connecting device two curved ribs (1, 2) of an aircraft or spacecraft, with: a coupling element (5) which can be connected by means of predetermined coupling sections (6, 7) to respective connecting sections (V1, V2) of the two ribs (1, 2); wherein at least the predetermined coupling sections (6, 7) of the coupling element (5) are rectilinear Iy designed; and in that at least the respective connecting sections (Vi, V2) of the two ribs (1, 2) each have rectilinearly running inner belt regions (15) for a respective rectilinear connection of the predetermined coupling sections 16, 7) of the coupling element (5).
Claims8
A connecting arrangement comprising a coupling element (5) and two curved ribs (1, 2) of an aircraft or spacecraft, the coupling element (5) being connectable by means of predetermined coupling sections (6, 7) to respective connecting sections (V1, V2) of the two ribs (1, 2),
- characterised
- in that at least the predetermined coupling sections (6, 7) of the coupling element (5) are rectilinearly designed;
- and
- in that at least the respective connecting sections (VI, V2) of the two ribs (1, 2) each have rectilinearly running inner belt regions (15) for a respective rectilinear connection of the predetermined coupling sections (6, 7) of the coupling element(5).
The connecting arrangement according to at least one of the preceding claims,
- characterised
- in that the predetermined rectilinearly designed coupling sections (6, 7) of the coupling element (5) have surfaces which run essentially perpendicularly to each other or at an angle to each other.
The connecting arrangement according to at least one of the preceding claims,
- characterised
- in that the coupling element (5) is formed from sections of an extruded profile that have been cut to length and/or machined.
The connecting arrangement according to at least one of the preceding claims,
- characterised
- in that the coupling element (5) is designed as a milled part.
