Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 and figure 2 A connector 1 is shown comprising a body 2 with a composite material comprising reinforcing fibres embedded in a plastic matrix 6b. These fibers are advantageously made of carbon fibers, but can also be made of another material such as glass. The plastic matrix 6b is made of a thermosetting resin (eg epoxy resin), but other materials such as thermoplastic resin such as PA 66 can be used.

[0028] The connector 1 also comprises a fastening area for the first member (not shown) to be connected, eg in the form of a base 5 . The means (not shown) for securing the first member to the connector 1 may take the form of screws or rivets.

[0029] The body 2 of the connector 1 comprises a housing 4 with an axis X1 which receives a mounting ring 7 . The mounting ring 7 carries the rotary joint 3 with the axis X2 in its hole.

[0030] The swivel 3 serves as a fastening area for connecting the second member (not shown) with the connector 1 .

Abstract

A connector (1) for connecting two members, comprising: a body (2) having a composite material including reinforcing fibers embedded in a resinous plastic matrix (6b) for connecting the two members together , and has a housing (4), a mounting ring (7), mounted in the housing (4), a rotary joint (3), mounted in the mounting ring (7), by rotating in the mounting ring, can allow the Articulation between two connected components, the swivel joint acting as a fastening area for one of the two components, characterized in that the reinforcing fibers are formed by resin into a ply (6a), said ply ( 6a) When stacked, a laminated structure is formed, and the mounting ring (7) is fastened in the housing (4) of the body (2) of the connector (1) to prevent the mounting ring (7) relative to the connector (1) The body (2) has any movement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a connector comprising a composite material body, such as a connecting fitting, for connecting two components to each other. Background technique [0002] Typically, in the aerospace field, metal connection fittings, eg made of aluminium, titanium or steel, including metal ball swivel joints are used to connect two components together while allowing one to rotate relative to the other. This is the case, for example, with connection fittings used to attach thrust reversers in aviation turbines. [0003] However, the use of composite connection fittings (ie composites made from fibre-reinforced plastic materials such as carbon fibre) is especially helpful in areas where the weight impact is crucial, such as in aviation. [0004] In addition, JP60151414A discloses a fiber-reinforced plastic arm product comprising a ball-swivel joint made by stacking successive layers of pre-impregnated fabrics in two half-moulds and aroun...
