Abstract:

An invention is disclosed for the attachment of a yoke to a laminated material composed of a medial matrix laminated between first and second skins. Two elongated parallel brackets are attached to the laminated material, the brackets each having a first segment fastened to the first skin, a second segment fastened to a first region of the second skin, and a third segment fastened to a second region of the second skin. The first and second regions are separated by a cavity in the second skin. The yoke is positioned in the cavity and fastened to the two brackets to provide a thrust point approximately coplanar with the second skin. The invention can be used to attach an actuator rod at the thrust point when the laminated material is that used in a cowling associated with a thrust reverser in a gas turbine aircraft engine.
