| 发明名称 | Cap for forming sealed cavity around fastener | ||
| 摘要 | A joint comprising: a structure; and a fastener passing through the structure. The cap has a body portion with an annular base terminating at an edge, the body portion forming an enclosure around an end of the fastener. The cap also has an annular flange which extends outwardly from the body portion and is set back from the edge of the base so as to define a pocket between the flange and the base. A sealant is provided in the pocket between the flange and the base, the sealant bonding the cap to the structure via a sealant/cap interface with the cap and a sealant/structure interface with the structure. The surface area of the sealant/cap interface is greater than the surface area of the sealant/structure interface. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A cap for forming a sealed cavity around one end of a fastener, the cap comprising an inner cap member with an annular base terminating at an edge which surrounds an opening into a central cavity; an outer cap member which fits over the inner cap member and has an annular base which forms an annular flange extending outwardly from the inner cap member at a point which is set back from the edge of the annular base of the inner cap member so as to define a pocket between the flange and the base; and a sealant material between the inner cap member and the outer cap member. | ||
