Honeycomb panel having inserts for fixing a member in an opening in the panel, and method of producing same.

摘要

A honeycomb panel having a honeycomb core interposed (32) between two face plates (28, 30, 61, 62), and inserts (36, 65) which are exposed to an opening (12, 75) formed through the panel. A desired member is bonded to the panel through the inserts and the face plates which are bonded together. The inserts are disposed in selected honeycomb cells (38) of the honeycomb core when the honeycomb core is assembled with the face plates, or the inserts are inserted into the selected honeycomb cells which are open to the opening (12) or a preliminary hole (50) formed before the opening is cut. Alternatively, the inserts (65) are positioned relative to the face plates before the honeycomb core members are disposed relative to the inserts. The honeycomb panel may be produced by various methods disclosed.
