Abstract
An assembly for an aircraft nacelle includes a reinforcing plate and a flange that includes one first portion and one second portion. The first portion of the flange is attached to another flange, and the second portion extends transversely relative to the first portion and is attached onto a panel of the assembly. In particular, the reinforcing plate is attached directly, or optionally indirectly, onto the flange via an intermediate plate attached between the reinforcing plate and the flange. The reinforcing plate has a beveled portion opposite the second portion of the flange.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An assembly for an aircraft nacelle, comprising:
a flange including at least one first part fixed to another flange and one second part extending transversely relative to the first part, the second part being fixed on a panel of said assembly; and a reinforcing plate attached to the flange, said reinforcing plate having a beveled part across from the second part of the flange.
2 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the beveled part of the reinforcing plate is an end part of that reinforcing plate, in contact with the second part of the flange.
3 . The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the beveled end part of the reinforcing plate assumes a form of an elongated bevel extending along the second part of the flange.
4 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein it further comprises an intermediate plate, fixed between the flange and the reinforcing plate.
5 . The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the intermediate plate extends, at its end in contact with the second part of the flange, beyond the end part of the reinforcing plate.
6 . The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the intermediate plate is made from a composite material or a metal material.
7 . The assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the intermediate plate is made from aluminum or titanium.
8 . The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the intermediate plate has a thickness comprised between 0.1 mm and 3 mm.
9 . The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the beveled part of the reinforcing plate is an end part of that plate.
10 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing plate comprises:
a first part attached against the first part of the flange; a second part, situated in an extension of the first part of the reinforcing plate and forming the beveled part of that reinforcing plate, said second part of the reinforcing plate being attached against the second part of the flange; and a third part, situated in an extension of the beveled part of the reinforcing plate and attached against the second part of the flange.
11 . The assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the third part of the reinforcing plate has a thickness comprised between 0.1 mm and 3 mm.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
