Abstract
A splice plate for stringers designed to connect two adjacent stringers at least three independent pieces, a connection rod being designed to be fixed by two opposite extremities to two adjacent stringers, and at least two connecting plates, each connecting plate being designed to be fixedly joined to a first extremity of one of the two stringers, and by a second extremity of a cross bar disposed between the two stringers. The disclosed embodiment also relate to a device for orbital fixation including at least one stringer splice plate splice bar.
Claims16
A stringer splice plate designed to connect two adjacent stringers, the stringer splice plate comprising at least three independent parts, one connection rod being fixed by two opposite extremities to the two adjacent stringers where the connection rod and the two opposite extremities have a common longitudinal axis, and at least two joining plates, each joining plate being fixedly joined by a first extremity of one of the two stringers, and by a second extremity of a cross-piece positioned between the two stringers, the cross-piece extending in a horizontal position relative to a vertical frame so as to cover an attachment zone where the two adjacent stringers are separated from each other by the vertical frame, and a plurality of fasteners penetrating each of said extremities substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, whereby each of said extremities are connected to said stringers in a manner to prohibit relative rotation between said stringers and said rod or said extremities.
An orbital joining device to fixedly join two fuselage panels facing each other, perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of said fuselage, comprising at least one stringer splice plate, capable of fixedly joining two longitudinal stringers each extending on a different fuselage panel and facing each other, the at least one stringer splice plate including one connection rod being fixed by two opposite extremities to the two adjacent stringers where the connection rod and the two opposite extremities have a common longitudinal axis, and at least two joining plates, each joining plate being fixedly joined by a first extremity of one of the two stringers, and by a second extremity of a cross-piece positioned between the two stringers, the cross-piece extending in a horizontal position relative to a vertical frame so as to cover an attachment zone where the two adjacent stringers are separated from each other by the vertical frame, and a plurality of fasteners penetrating each of said extremities substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, whereby each of said extremities are connected to said stringers in a manner to prohibit relative rotation between said stringers and said rod or said extremities.
