Structural frame for an aircraft fuselage
View Patent ↗A structural frame for a fuselage including a lower arched structure ( 1 ), a cross-piece ( 2 ), supporting a floor element ( 3 ) and a connecting lattice ( 4 ) between the lower arch ( 1 ) and the cross-piece ( 2 ), the connecting lattice ( 4 ) more particularly may comprise bars ( 4 a , 4 b ) the ends of which are spliced to the cross-piece ( 2 ) and the lower arch ( 1 ).
1. A structural frame of a fuselage the frame comprising a lower arch, a cross-piece, supporting a floor element and a connecting lattice between the lower arch and the cross-piece, the frame further comprising an upper frame element provided with arms connecting with the cross-piece and with the lower arch.
2. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 1 wherein the connecting lattice comprises bars, the ends of which are spliced to the cross-piece and the lower arch.
3. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 2 wherein the bars are composite material beams with a U-shaped section.
4. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 1 wherein the connecting arms form a fork at each end of the upper frame, the lower arch and the cross-piece being attached to the arms of each fork via splicing.
5. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 4 wherein the lower arch and the cross-piece are attached to the arms of each fork via end-to-end splicing.
6. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 1 wherein the lower arch is a ribbed beam provided with passage holes for longitudinal stringers.
7. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 1 wherein the lower arch is a machined metal arch, a glass fabric crease being placed between the ends of the bars and the lower arch.
8. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 1 , wherein the lower arch is a composite material arch.
9. A structural frame of a fuselage according to claim 1 comprising metal elements and elements made of composite material.
