Abstract

Method for producing a supporting profiled element configured to support a reinforcing profiled element that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product during a curing process of a method for producing a vehicle fuselage component, in which the reinforcing profiled element is bonded to a surface of a fuselage shell that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product. The method includes providing a profiled hose and detachably inserting end pieces at the two ends of the profiled hose, so as to seal the end pieces to the profiled hose by means of respective insertion connections.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for producing a supporting profiled element configured to support a reinforcing profiled element that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product during a curing process of a method for producing a vehicle fuselage component, in which the reinforcing profiled element is bonded to a surface of a fuselage shell that is formed from a fiber composite semi-finished product, the method comprising:
a) providing a profiled hose, and
b) detachably inserting end pieces at the two ends of the provided profiled hose, so as to seal the end pieces to the profiled hose by means of respective insertion connections, a first end piece comprising an oblique face with an air passage opening disposed therein and an air passage screw, the air passage screw having a widened head configured to clamp an air-impermeable film that surrounds the air passage opening between the widened head and the oblique face and configured to seal the air-impermeable film against the oblique face,
wherein the air passage opening comprises a threaded hole configured for receiving the air passage screw, wherein the air passage screw comprises a shaft portion having an outer thread configured to engage through a hole in the air-impermeable film, wherein the air passage screw comprises a sealing disc that faces the oblique face upon insertion of the air passage screw into the threaded hole of the air passage opening and wherein the air passage screw is sleeve-like as a result of a central drill-hole that extends in a longitudinal direction of the air passage screw.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the providing the profiled hose includes cutting off a portion of a particular length from a virtually continuous supply of an air-impermeable profiled hose.
