ADHESIVELY-MOUNTED RETURN MOUNTS AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING SAME

Abstract:

An electrically-conductive return mount assembly mountable to an electrically-conductive structure. The assembly has a return mount and a pad. The return mount has a base, and an electrically-conductive portion to conduct electricity to the structure. The pad is positionable between the return mount and the structure, and delimits an internal cavity. The internal cavity is configured to receive therein an adhesive to adhere the base to the structure. The pad is electrically conductive to form a conductive path from the electrically-conductive portion of the return mount, through the pad, and to the structure, upon the base being adhered to the structure. An airframe having such a return mount, as well as a method for mounting same, are also disclosed.
