A connecting device including first and second off-center rings, the second ring being positioned in the first ring. The peripheral outer surface of the first ring is frustoconical and has a smaller cross section oriented in a first direction, and the inner surface of the first ring and the outer surface of the second ring, which surfaces interact with one another, have cross sections which increase between a first cross section and a second cross section that is offset in relation to the first cross section in an opposite direction to the first direction. This arrangement makes it possible to be able to prevent the rotation of the first and second rings once their angular positioning has been adjusted.

Connecting device comprising two off-center rings with a frustoconical and/or spherical bearing surface, aircraft or aircraft floor comprising at least two portions connected by at least one such connecting device

A system with attachment clips designed to fix an attachment element of an aircraft fuselage frame onto a fuselage skin and/or to stiffeners fitted onto this fuselage skin is provided. The system includes tooling elements arranged alternately with the clips such that they connect to each other, in order to reduce the fabrication time and cost of an aircraft fuselage.

Tool for simultaneously holding several attachment clips in contact with an aircraft fuselage frame element

In order to reduce the time and the cost of manufacturing an aircraft fuselage, the subject matter disclosed herein provide an aircraft fuselage frame element comprising a core provided with at least one through-opening intended for the passing of a fuselage stiffener, and further comprising, associated with each opening, a tab for the fastening of the frame element onto the fuselage stiffener, with the tab being a single piece with the core and connected to the latter by a fold that delimits the opening.

Aircraft fuselage frame element integrating tabs for the fastening of stiffeners

To reduce the time and cost of manufacture of an aircraft fuselage, a tool for positioning mounting clamps to attach a fuselage frame element onto a fuselage skin and/or onto stiffeners is provided. Accordingly, the tool includes a ramp and several systems for holding clamps in position distributed along the ramp, where each system includes a mobile device for applying pressure to the clamp, together with an adjustment device coupled to the mobile device such that its separation from the ramp is adjustable.
