The invention relates to a perforated adhesive film (16) that will be used to glue a wall on one face of a cellular structure (10) to form a sandwich panel. The adhesive film (16) comprises at least one hole and not more than three holes (18) facing each of the cells (12) of the cellular structure (10). Preferably, the holes (18) are formed by punching an unperforated adhesive film. The holes (18) enable the formation of regular glue dabs on the ends of the partitions (14) separating cells (12) in the cellular structure (10), when the adhesive film (16) is heated before the wall is glued.

The invention claimed is: 1. Process for producing a sandwich panel having a cellular structure having two faces, a plurality of adjacent cells opening up on at least a first face, at least one wall and an adhesive film inserted between said wall and said first face, the process comprising: punchin
The invention claimed is: 1. Process for producing a sandwich panel having a cellular structure having two faces, a plurality of adjacent cells opening up on at least a first face, at least one wall and an adhesive film inserted between said wall and said first face, the process comprising: punching an unperforated adhesive film in order to form at least one approximately circular hole having a diameter, wherein the punching the unperforated adhesive film is performed by at least one punch which comprises a conical end part with an angle β of between and including approximately 30�� and 35��, and with an adjacent tapered part with an angle θ of between and including approximately 20�� and 25��; locating the adhesive film between the wall and the first face with one hole facing each of the cells of the cellular structure; and gluing the wall to the first face, wherein the adhesive film is perforated with at least one hole facing each of the cells of the cellular structure in which the holes are formed by punching an unperforated adhesive film, and wherein the at least one hole is approximately circular with a diameter that is not uniform over a thickness of the said film, and wherein the at least one hole is tapered. 2. Process according to claim 1, in which all the holes are made by punching the adhesive film in the same direction. 3. Process according to claim 1, wherein the punching the unperforated adhesive film is performed using a plate including a plurality of punches, wherein the plurality of punches form a plurality of holes in the adhesive film. 4. Process according to claim 3, wherein the punching of the unperforated adhesive film is perforated using a plate having dimensions smaller than the adhesive film, a relative displacement between the plate and the adhesive film being performed between two successive punching steps to perforate the entire film. 5. Process according to claim 1, wherein the punching the unperforated adhesive film is performed with a rotary roller having at least one punch. 6. Process for producing a sandwich panel having a cellular structure having two faces, a plurality of adjacent cells opening up on at least a first face, at least one wall and an adhesive film inserted between said wall and the first face, the process comprising: punching an unperforated adhesive film to form at least one approximately circular hole therethrough by at least one punch which comprises a conical end part with an angle β of between and including approximately 30�� and 35��, and with an adjacent tapered part with an angle θ of between and including approximately 20�� and 25��, wherein the at least one circular hole is tapered and has a diameter that is not uniform over a thickness of the film; preparing the adhesive film on the first face to provide an adhesive characteristic thereon; and adhering the wall to the first face. 7. A sandwich panel, comprising: a cellular structure having two faces; a plurality of adjacent cells opening up on at least a first of the faces; and at least one wall and an adhesive film inserted between the wall and the first face wherein the adhesive film glues the wall with the first face, wherein the adhesive film is perforated with at least one hole facing each of the cells of the cellular structure, and wherein the at least one hole is tapered, approximately circular, and having a diameter that is not uniform over a thickness of the adhesive film, the hole being formed by at least one punch which comprises a conical end part with an angle β of between and including approximately 30�� and 35��, and with an adjacent tapered part with an angle θ of between and including approximately 20�� and 25��. 8. A sandwich panel, comprising: a cellular structure having two faces; and a plurality of adjacent cells opening up on at least a first of the faces; and at least one wall and an adhesive film inserted between the wall and the first face wherein the adhesive film glues the wall with the first face, wherein the adhesive film is perforated with at least one hole facing each of the cells of the cellular structure, the hole tapering from the first face; wherein the holes are aligned with each other along two directions forming an angle of about 60�� between them; and wherein the holes are at a spacing Px equal to approximately 7��Po/9.5 along a first of the said directions and at a distance Py equal to approximately 4.5��Po/9.5 in a direction orthogonal to this first direction, where Po is the pitch separating the cells of the cellular structure. 9. A sandwich panel, comprising: a cellular structure, having at least two faces; a plurality of adjacent cells opening up on at least one of the faces; and at least one wall and an adhesive film inserted between the wall and a first face wherein the adhesive film glues the wall with the first face, wherein the adhesive film is perforated with a plurality of holes distributed according to a triangular network and being aligned with each other along two directions to form an angle of approximately 60�� between them, the holes at a spacing Px equal to approximately 7��Po/9.5 along a first direction of the said directions and at a distance Py equal to approximately 4.5��Po/9.5 in a direction orthogonal to the first direction, where Po is the pitch separating the cells of the cellular structure, the holes configured to face each of the cells of the cellular structure, at least one hole in the plurality being approximately circular with a diameter not uniform over a thickness of the said film, wherein the at least one hole is tapered to facilitate migration of the adhesive film toward ends of the walls of the cells located on the first face when the adhesive film is heated. 10. A sandwich panel according to claim 9, wherein the holes have an average diameter approximately equal to 1 mm.
