Benefits of technology

The patent aims to provide a way to repair damaged non-structural components in an aircraft without compromising their appearance. The technical effect is to allow for the efficient and effective repair of components without affecting their appearance.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the difficulty of repairing damaged interior fittings of aircraft made of synthetic materials, which can be aesthetically unappealing. The alternative of replacing each damaged item is very costly. The patent proposes a solution to this problem by providing a method for repairing these fittings using fibreglass materials that do not release epoxy resins.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]As previously stated the invention provides a process for the repair of non structural interior components of an aircraft.

[0015]Such components, whether being veneered surfaces which are scratched or trays and the like which have breaks or cracks in them, are generally constructed or surfaced with synthetic materials which can be difficult to repair.

[0016]Many glues available do not adhere well to plastics and synthetics. From the point of providing a well distributed join and smooth repair it may seem advantageous to cover a break or the like with fibreglass mat of some variety however these materials are commonly bonded using epoxy resins which do not adhere well to synthetics.

[0017]Given that glues of the “instant glue” or “super glue” type can be used to bond to a wide variety of substrates it would be desirable to use these products however they are not alone suitable for the repair of deep cracks, breaks or extensively damaged surfaces.

[0018]The invention involves the us...

Abstract

A method for a repair of materials used in the manufacture of non-structural aircraft interior components includes the steps of laying fiberglass over a damaged surface and adhering the fiberglass with a fast-adhering glue, that includes at least one of cyanoacrylate and a cyanoacrylate activator for repairing the surface, to the damaged surface. A related method that includes applying a cyanoacrylate activator is used for removing pen and pencil marks for a synthetic leather material.
