Translatable Heat Shrink Oven For Applying Heat Shrink Film To A Silicone Rubber Bladder

View page
US Patent:
20130086873, Apr 11, 2013
Filed:
Oct 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/647214
Inventors:
Rodney Eugene Bahr - Wichita KS, US
Ryan Craig Harris - Derby KS, US
Assignee:
Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. - Wichita KS
International Classification:
B65B 53/02
US Classification:
53442, 53557
Abstract:
A heat shrink apparatus for heat shrinking a shrink film to a bladder. The heat shrink apparatus may include a support structure, a bladder support system, and a heat chamber. The bladder support system for supporting the bladder thereon may have two spaced apart parallel rows of a plurality of resilient members pivotally and/or resiliently attached to the support structure. The heat chamber may be hollow with opposing end openings and may have one or more heating elements therein. The heat chamber may translate over the shrink film and the bladder along the support structure between the two spaced apart parallel rows, shrinking the shrink film to the bladder. As the heat chamber translates, it may contact ends of the resilient members, thereby pivoting or deflecting the resilient members from a first position to a second position such that the heat chamber can pass between the two parallel rows.

Autoclave Health Monitoring And Control System

View page
US Patent:
20130161850, Jun 27, 2013
Filed:
Nov 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/679569
Inventors:
Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. - Wichita KS, US
Gerard Spexarth - Wichita KS, US
Rodney Eugene Bahr - Wichita KS, US
Assignee:
SPIRIT AEROSYSTEMS, INC. - Wichita KS
International Classification:
B29C 37/00
US Classification:
264 401, 425149
Abstract:
A bladder monitoring apparatus and method for monitoring an inflatable bladder during curing of composite material in an autoclave. The bladder may be wrapped with composite material and have an impermeable membrane sealed around the composite material. The method may include the steps of fluidly coupling a vacuum port of the impermeable membrane with a vacuum source and fluidly coupling a vent of the bladder with a first port of a flow meter located outward of the autoclave. A second port of the flow meter may also be fluidly coupled with atmosphere within the autoclave. The method may then include evacuating air from within the impermeable membrane. If a flow above a threshold flow is detected by the flow meter, the leak in the bladder may be located and repaired or a valve of the flow meter between the first and second ports may be closed.

Method For Molding A Thermoplastic Composite Sine Wave Spar Structure

View page
US Patent:
58433554, Dec 1, 1998
Filed:
Jan 24, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/590606
Inventors:
Douglas A. McCarville - Auburn WA
Rodney E. Bahr - Wichita KS
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:
B29C 3702
B32B 3104
B32B 3110
US Classification:
264152
Abstract:
A method of forming composite sine wave spars from composite material. In accordance with the method, the sine wave spar is formed of web plies, filler plies, separator plies and cap plies. The edges of the web plies are cut to form a plurality of teeth having different geometric configurations. The web plies are first formed to the sine wave contours of a tool having the desired final part geometry. The teeth of the web plies are then folded over the edges of the tool to form a portion of the flanges of upper and lower U-shaped channels. The portions of the flanges of the U-shaped channels not covered by the teeth are formed using filler plies that intermesh with the teeth to form a layer of the flanges of the respective upper or lower U-shaped channel. The flanges are reinforced through the use of separator plies that are placed between the filler plies. The formed upper and lower U-shaped channels are joined together so that their respective flanges are located in line with each other.

Appl. No.:
8/912159
Inventors:
Douglas A. McCarville - Auburn WA

Cap For Temporary Fastener

View page
US Patent:
20220412386, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Sep 1, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/901014
Inventors:
- Wichita KS, US
Jennifer Lyn Wilson - Wichita KS, US
Rodney E. Bahr - Wichita KS, US
Assignee:
Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. - Wichita KS
International Classification:
F16B 19/10
B21J 15/42
F16B 5/04
Abstract:
A cap for a temporary fastener comprises a hollow, cup-shaped body and an inwardly tapered neck. The hollow body fits over a workpiece-engaging portion of the temporary fastener, and the neck extends from the hollow body. The tapered neck terminates in a hollow tip that is sized and configured to fit over aligned holes in the joined workpieces and to contact a minimal surface area of the outermost workpiece to reduce surface damage to the workpieces such that any damage will be removed when the holes are countersunk in the normal course of assembly.

System And Method For Facilitating Removal Of Trapped Tool From Composite Structure

View page
US Patent:
20200047870, Feb 13, 2020
Filed:
Aug 10, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/100413
Inventors:
- Wichita KS, US
Rodney Eugene Bahr - Wichita KS, US
Assignee:
SPIRIT AEROSYSTEMS, INC. - WICHITA KS
International Classification:
B64C 1/14
F16B 7/02
F16B 7/04
B27F 5/02
B27F 1/14
B23Q 9/00
Abstract:
A system and method for constructing a composite structure using a multi-piece tool. The pieces are assembled, including making a connection, such as a mortise-and-tenon connection, between pieces using an adhesive mixed with an induction heatable material, such as iron filings having a unit size of between 5 microns and 600 microns, and an amount of between 5% and 50% by volume. Plies of a material are applied around the connection between the pieces, and the plies are cured to create the composite structure, which results in the pieces being trapped within the composite structure by the connection. The adhesive is exposed to electromagnetic induction from an electromagnetic induction coil which generates heat in the induction heatable material and thereby loosens the connection. The tool can then be disassembled by individually pulling at least some of the pieces from within the composite structure.
