ABSTRACT:
When assembling longitudinal seams, the shells in the region of overlap are moved together over lining-up drill holes, the shells are fastened and subsequently the pilot holes are transferred. Thereafter, these pilot holes are deburred, which involves temporary moving apart of the shells. According to one embodiment of the present invention a rib clamping device is stated that can be used for the longitudinal seam-structure assembly of an aircraft fuselage and that comprises attachment means and fastening means for non-positive and frictionally-engaged fastening of the shells. There is thus no longer any need to temporarily move the components apart.
