Downwards folding seat

Abstract: A folding seat for an aircraft has a backrest, a seat area and an armrest. The seat area is pivotable. When the seat area is pivoted, the armrest is pivotable downwards, the seat area and the armrest being coupled by at least one coupling element in the form of a bevel gear.

Method for manufacturing a fluid routing component by layer-wise buildup

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a fluid-leading component comprises the positioning of a base element (2) machined by means of a material-removing method with a planar upper face (8) in a mounting support and the multiple carrying out of process steps for the layer-wise buildup of the component, wherein said method at least comprises the initial application of a layer section with predetermined dimensions of a particulate material in a predetermined region (9) on the planar upper face of the base element (2); the heating of the layer section by means of a heat source (12) in such a manner that the particles of the material within predetermined dimensions bond; and the application thereto and heating of at least one further layer section (13) with predetermined dimensions of a particulate material in a predetermined region (9). In this way it is possible, in the generative manufacturing method, to obviate the need to provide support structures that subsequently have to be removed, and the base element is a functional part of the component to be manufactured.

Riveting device for aircraft fuselages

Abstract: A head of a riveting device—for Hi-Lite type rivets—of at least two components of a structure for installing automatically collars on pins previously inserted in the structure. The head comprises: a collar installation tool; a collar supply to supply collars to the collar installation tool; a tool actuating device; a linear displacement device to linearly move the tool during the threading operation; a withdrawal device arranged to withdraw the second part of the collars; a control arrangement configured to automatically perform the installation of collars on pins and after this the withdrawal of the second part of the collars, using tools and collars appropriate for the pins. Also a robot having as end-effector the head and to a method of riveting two components of an aircraft fuselage are provided.
