Abstract From the Canadian patent

A lightweight, laminated structural component such as a skin section for an aircraft fuselage is constructed of at least two sheet metal plies that are adhesively bonded to each other. One ply is an uninterrupted ply. The other ply is a lattice with open fields surrounded by strip shaped lands which fortify load exposed areas of the lamination. The open fields of the lattice make mechanical or chemical pocketing operations unnecessary. By shaping and positioning the strip shaped lands including struts in accordance with load patterns to which an aircraft skin is exposed in use the skin characteristics cam be tailored as required.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 22, 2003 and granted July 31, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 22, 2023.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 22, 2025.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
