  • Method and apparatus for applying a strip of material over an edge on a structure
    Patent number: 10829667
    Abstract: An apparatus automatically places, forms and compacts an adhesive strip on an edge of a structure in a single pass.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 10, 2020
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Richard Allen Miller, II, America Olsen Schaaf, Kevin L. Braun, Mark C. Iden, Brian Henry Korenaga, Scott Telford O'Farrell
  • Reinforced stiffeners and method for making the same
    Patent number: 9981444
    Abstract: A composite stiffener is fabricated using preforms of laminated, unidirectional composite tape. The stiffener includes a void that is reinforced by a filler wrapped with a structural adhesive. The surfaces of the preforms surrounding the void include a layer of composite fabric which is bonded to the filler by the adhesive, thereby increasing the toughness of stiffeners around the void and improving pull-off strength of the stiffener.
    Type: Grant
