US 8,800,922 B2 · Elements for signal and/or power transmission into or to cabin components

Abstract

The description covers cabin components for aircraft, which can be produced with a sandwich structure and may have the components 1003 for signal and/or power transmission. The cabin components in this case have at least two prepreg layers 1001, 1005 and, for example, a honeycomb layer 1002, which can be connected to one another by pressing and heating. Furthermore, electrical and/or optical signal paths are shown on cabin components, which can be produced by positioning them there or printing. In addition, according to the description, signal and/or power transmission can take place beyond the boundary of cabin components, by means of a transmitter/receiver path.

Dependent claims

A method for fitting a cabin component for an aircraft, comprising the following steps:

providing a sandwich structure comprising a first honeycomb for mechanical stiffening, a second honeycomb below the first honeycomb, a first prepreg layer above the first honeycomb and a second prepreg layer below the second honeycomb,
providing a component which transmits optical signals, electrical signals or power between the first honeycomb and the second honeycomb, and
heating and pressing the sandwich structure for curing the sandwich structure with the component between the first honeycomb and the second honeycomb.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
