Abstract:
1. A panel for an aircraft interior, the panel comprising: a substrate having a first non-zero curvature about a first axis of the substrate such that a first surface of the substrate curves inwardly from a first edge of the substrate to a second edge of the substrate, the first edge being opposite the second edge, and such that a second surface of the substrate curves outwardly from the first edge to the second edge, the second surface being opposite the first surface, and the substrate having a third edge opposite a fourth edge, the third edge and the fourth edge extending about parallel a second axis of the substrate, the second axis being about perpendicular to the first axis; a laminate covering the second surface and extending past the third edge; and a first retainer having at least a fifth edge and a sixth edge extending substantially parallel to the third edge of the substrate, the sixth edge being opposite the fifth edge, a third surface and a fourth surface of the first retainer being disposed between the fifth edge and the sixth edge, the third surface opposite the fourth surface, the laminate covering the third surface at least to the sixth edge, the first retainer being disposed with respect to the substrate such that the laminate also extends through a space between the substrate and the first retainer, and the fourth surface of the first retainer being attached to the first surface of the substrate such that the laminate wraps around the third edge, around the fifth edge, and at least to the sixth edge and sandwiches the substrate and the first retainer between a first portion of the laminate and a second portion of the laminate.
