Abstract

The present invention provides a connecting device for connecting an unhardened fiber layer which is arranged on a surface section of a fiber compound structure to the fiber compound structure. The connecting device comprises pressure cushion comprising a pressure cap for being arranged above the surface section and a pressure tight cap mat which is pressure tightly connected to a circumferential border of the pressure cap, thereby forming a pressure area which is limited by the pressure cap and by the cap mat. The connecting device further comprises a pressure inducing means for inducing an overpressure which presses the cap mat against the fiber layer into the pressure area. According to a further aspect the invention provides a processing method for processing a fiber compound structure. In a first step at least one unhardened fiber layer is arranged on a surface section of the fiber compound structure.
