Process For Bonding A Vented Hollow Component
US Patent:
8192574, Jun 5, 2012
Filed:
Jul 1, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/829234
Inventors:
Richard Boone - Wichita KS, US
Assignee:
Textron Innovations Inc. - Providence RI
International Classification:
B29C 65/00, B29C 53/80, B29C 53/58, B29C 73/06, B29C 73/10, B29C 41/46, B29C 43/02, B29C 43/32, B29C 51/00, B31B 1/60, B32B 37/00, B32B 17/00, C03C 27/00, B31C 1/00, B65H 81/00, B31D 3/02, B27N 3/18, B28B 3/00, B28B 3/02, A01J 25/12, A21C 3/00, A21C 11/00, A23G 1/20, A23G 3/00, A23P 1/00, B28B 11/08, B28B 21/96, B28B 21/98, B28B 15/00, B29C 35/00, B29C 35/02, B29C 67/00
US Classification:
156285, 156 60, 156104, 156381, 156184, 156162, 156171, 156443, 156197, 264319, 425383, 4253871, 425388, 425389, 425390
Abstract:
A process for bonding a vented hollow component includes placing a preformed component with an aircraft skin on a tool surface, with bonding agent applied between the component and the skin. A vacuum bag is sealed about a vent in the preformed component. The vent may be formed through the vacuum bag and the component, or the vent may be preexisting (i. e. , an open end of the preformed component or an aperture through the component). The vacuum bag is sealed to the tool surface with a temporary seal or adhesive, to enclose the preformed component and the skin. A vacuum is applied within the bagging material, to compress the preformed component with the aircraft skin, and the bagged assembly is autoclaved to cure the bonding agent. The vent in the preformed component facilitates pressure equalization within and outside of the component to enhance compression against the aircraft skin.
Process For Bonding Components To A Surface
US Patent:

Appl. No.:

International Classification:
B29C 65/00
US Classification:
156285, 156287, 264511, 264512, 264516
Abstract:
A process for bonding aircraft components with a surface, such as an aircraft skin, includes positioning the skin on a tool surface and placing a floorless component on the skin, with bonding agent therebetween. A vacuum bag is placed within the floorless component via a vent in the component, and sealed with opposing inner, lower walls of the component, creating a sealed surface over the skin within the component. Additional vacuum bags seal between lower, exterior legs of the floorless component and either (a) the tool surface (enclosing the skin) or (b) lower walls of adjacent aircraft components. Lower, opposing sides of the adjacent component are also bagged, and loose bag ends are sealed to the tool surface, such that the skin and all feet of the aircraft components are enclosed in vacuum bagging material. The bagged assembly is autoclave cured to bond the aircraft components with the skin.
Low Speed, High Performance Hang Glider
US Patent:
2013029, Nov 14, 2013
Filed:
Apr 19, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/986285
Inventors:
Richard Boone - Wichita KS, US
International Classification:
B64C 31/028
US Classification:
244 16
Abstract:
Sail deflection, from large resultant moments, creates excess aerodynamic twist and limits hang glider performance. Incorporating a rear spar and sail attachment system, as a design feature, allows control and definition of this critical performance component. Hang gliders with this design feature will produce more total lift which in turn will produce lower stall speeds and less drag.
Process For Fabricating Aircraft Parts Using An Integrated Form
US Patent:
8585856, Nov 19, 2013

Appl. No.:

Textron Innovations Inc. - Providence RI
International Classification:
B32B 37/10
US Classification:
156285, 156286, 156287, 156156, 264511, 264512, 264571
Abstract:
A fabrication process using an integrated form includes assembling at least two independent sections of composite laminate about a form, such that at least a portion of the sections overlap. A bonding agent is applied between the sections, at the overlap, and the form and laminate assembly are vacuum-bagged. The bag is sealed around a vent in the form, and about the laminate assembly. A vacuum is applied within the bag, to bond the sections, and the bagged assembly is autoclaved, to cure the bonded laminate sections. The vent allows equalization of autoclave pressures within and outside of the form, to prevent crushing or deformation of the form during cure. The form becomes an integral and permanent part of the final composite product.
