Composite reinforcement component, structural element, aircraft or spacecraft and method for producing a composite reinforcement component

A method for producing a composite reinforcement component for an aircraft or spacecraft, comprising:

• assembling at least two first staggered comb components, each of the first comb components including a base portion and a plurality of generally rectangular protrusions by stacking a plurality of plies, wherein the rectangular protrusions form first comb teeth portions of the first comb components;
• assembling at least two second staggered comb components, each of the second comb components including a base portion and a plurality of generally rectangular protrusions by stacking a plurality of plies, wherein the rectangular protrusions form second comb teeth portions of the second comb components, and wherein the first comb teeth portions are offset by a single comb tooth width with respect to the second comb teeth portions;
• performing the following in either order:
• aligning the first comb teeth portions of a first one of the first comb components with the second comb teeth portions of a first one of the second comb components, so that the first comb component is aligned in a first plane of extension and the second comb component is aligned in a second plane of extension generally perpendicular to the first plane of extension;
• and
• overlapping the first comb teeth portions of a second one of the first comb components with the first comb teeth portions of the first one of the first comb components, so that the second one of the first comb components extends coplanar with the first one of the first comb components, forming a first element assembly, wherein the first comb teeth portions of the first and second ones of the first comb components are offset in a direction along the first plane of extension such that a rectangular opening is formed between the two base portions of the at least two first comb components;
• and
• overlapping the second comb teeth portions of a second one of the second comb components with the second comb teeth portions of the first one of the second comb components, so that the second one of the second comb components extends coplanar with the first one of the first comb components, forming a second element assembly, wherein the second comb teeth portions of the first and second ones of the second comb components are offset in a direction along the second plane of extension such that a rectangular opening is formed between the two base portions of the at least two first comb components;
• wherein the second element assembly intersects the first element assembly at a line of intersection of the first and second planes of extension, such that each of the first and second element assembly intersect through the rectangular opening of the other element assembly at the line of intersection.
