Abstract
A draw-pull bar is described which consists of at least one adapter with a metallic tubular end and of an inner and outer tubular body out of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP). it is characterized thus that the outer CFRP tubular body conically wraps the metallic end of the adapter from the outside in a form-fit manner while the inner CFRP tubular body is form-fit connected with the metallic ends of the adapter. An elastomeric layer is tapered in the contact area between the inner tubular body and the outer tubular body in such a way that both tubular bodies are separated on the one side, but are arranged against each other in a protected and damped manner on the other side.
Claims2
A draw-pull bar consisting of at least one adapter (4) having a metallic tubular end and an inner and outer tubular body respectively made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), wherein the outer CFRP tubular body (1) conically wraps the metal end of the adapter (4) from the outside in a form-fit manner and the inner CFRP tubular body (2) is connected to the metal ends of the adapter (4) from the inside in a form-fit manner, characterised in that the inner CFRP tubular body (2) is cladded, in the contact area with the outer CFRP tubular body (1), with an elastomeric layer (3) on the outside, which is thus located between the inner CFRP tubular body (2) and the inside of the outer CFRP body (1), separating them and providing thereby protection and insulation.
