Patent number: 10599132Abstract: An automated fastener insert installation system for composite panels is provided. A first module receives and secures a composite panel with respect to an origin of a first coordinate system, wherein the composite panel has opposed major surfaces and defines an insert-receiving orifice extending through one of the major surfaces, and is secured such that one of the major surfaces is externally accessible. A second module engages each of a plurality of fastener inserts with an installation aide. Third module determines a configuration of the orifice defined by the composite panel, selects a corresponding one of the fastener inserts engaged with the installation aide, inserts the selected fastener insert into the orifice, and dispenses an adhesive material through the installation aide and into the orifice about selected fastener insert such that the adhesive material secures the selected fastener insert within the orifice. Associated systems are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Aaron Coon, Chris G. McInelly, Bret Hoeksema, Ryan Lillibridge, Tom Allen, Steve Solack, Kevin Bowe, Gary K. Allen

Patent number: 9073662Abstract: Containers with reinforced bottom panels, methods of making containers with reinforced bottom panels, and methods of using containers with reinforced bottom panels. The containers with reinforced bottom panels have one or more bottom panels, one or more pleats folded along a center line at an angle of about 180°, two side panels, two end panels, and two pairs of side panel extensions. The pleats provide extra strength to the bottom panels of the containers, thereby reducing or eliminating sag in the bottom panels of such containers, particularly when high-water content goods are placed in such containers or when such containers are stored or used in a high-humidity environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Maxco Supply, Inc.Inventors: Max Flaming, Aaron Coon

Patent number: 8043449Abstract: An apparatus for adhering coupons together for adhesive shear testing may include a first member, a second member, at least one alignment device, and at least one separation device. The first member may have at least one first member cavity for holding at least one first member coupon. The second member may have at least one second member cavity for holding an overlapping area of at least one second member coupon adjacent to and separate from the at least one first member coupon. The overlapping area of the at least one second member coupon may be adhered to the at least one first member coupon. The at least one alignment device may control a size of the overlapping area. The at least one separation device may control a separation distance between the overlapping area of the at least one second member coupon and the at least one first member coupon.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2009Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Emily Przybelinski, Aaron Coon, Gary David Benham, Michael J.
