Embodiment Construction

[0049] The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings that illustrate specific embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments having different structures and operations do not depart from the scope of the present disclosure. In different drawings, similar reference numbers may refer to the same elements or components.

[0050] refer to figure 1 One embodiment of the disclosed splice assembly, generally designated 100, for interconnecting a plurality of structural components 14 of a vehicle 10 may include a pair of splice brackets 102 (respectively referred to as first splice brackets 102a and the second overlapping bracket 102b). The vehicle 10 may include an outer shell structure 12 (eg, a vehicle frame support structure) that includes a plurality of interconnected structural components 14 and a skin 90 connected to the plurality of structural components 14 . For example, vehicle 10 may be a monocoque structure that supports loads through ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a lap joint assembly for joining structural components. The splice assembly may include a first splice bracket including a first longitudinal axis, a first connection member, a first mating member extending from the first connection member along the first longitudinal axis , the first mating member includes a first mating surface disposed at a non-zero first angle relative to the first longitudinal axis. The disclosed splice assembly may also include a second splice bracket including a second longitudinal axis, a second connection member, a first splice extending from the second connection member along the second longitudinal axis. and two mating members, the second mating member including the second mating surface disposed at a second non-zero angle relative to the second longitudinal axis. The first mating surface and the second mating surface are complementary. Surface contact between the first mating surface and the second mating surface defines a fastening location for connecting the first and second splice brackets.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to apparatus and methods for joining components, and more particularly, to apparatus and methods for adjustably joining structural components of a vehicle, such as a stringer of an aircraft. Background technique [0002] When manufacturing vehicles, structural components may be joined together to form joints. In some conventional joints, lap joints are used, where an end portion of one structural member may abut the lap joint, or be lapped together with an adjacent end portion of another structural member and fastened using such as bolts and rivets components and / or devices such as ribs, brackets or straps. [0003] As an example, the fuselage of an aircraft is typically constructed as a series of peripherally spaced fuselage frames (e.g., hoop-like frames) that define the overall cross-sectional shape of the aircraft, with opposing A series of spaced stringer members (eg, stringers) extending longitudinally a...
