Patent ID: 7641427

Claim:
Insert ( 10 ) for a sandwich component having a honeycomb core, having: an inner hollow-cylindrical sleeve ( 12 ), an outer sleeve ( 16 ) which is arranged concentrically and with radial spacing with respect to the inner sleeve ( 12 ) and the inner side of which is connected to the outer side of the inner sleeve ( 12 ) by means of a plurality of radial webs ( 18 ), a plurality of axial chambers ( 20 ), distributed over the circumference of the inset, between the inner sleeve ( 12 ) and the outer sleeve ( 16 ), each chamber ( 20 ) being bounded in the circumferential direction of the insert by two webs ( 18 ) following each other in the circumferential direction, and being open at least on one of its end sides, a plurality of anchor elements ( 22 ), in each case one of which is received in an associated chamber ( 20 ), each anchor element ( 22 ) having a pointed end ( 24 ) and a blunt end ( 26 ) and the blunt end being adjacent to the open end side of the chamber ( 20 ), a plurality of exit openings ( 28 ) in the lateral surface of the outer sleeve ( 16 ), through which a part of each anchor element ( 22 ) can exit, with its pointed end ( 24 ) in front, from the associated chamber ( 20 ), a push-in part ( 32 ) which can be introduced axially through the open end sides of the chambers ( 20 ) into the latter and is designed such that, upon introduction into the chambers ( 20 ), it comes into contact with the blunt ends ( 26 ) of the anchor elements ( 22 ) and displaces the latter, and guiding devices in each changer ( 20 ) containing an anchor element ( 22 ), which devices, upon a displacement of the anchor elements ( 22 ) brought about by the introduction of the push-in part ( 32 ) into the chambers ( 20 ), cause the anchor elements to exit, with their pointed end ( 24 ) in front, through the exit openings ( 28 ) radially out of the chambers ( 20 ).
