Patent number: 11982318Abstract: A tie-rod with a swivel tie-rod end includes a tie-rod central rod and a first tie-rod end including a swivel joint. The first tie-rod end is connected to the tie-rod central rod by the swivel joint. The swivel joint is operable to enable rotation of the first tie-rod end with respect to the tie-rod central rod while maintaining a common longitudinal axis between the first tie-rod end and the tie-rod central rod. The tie-rod further includes a second tie-rod end connected to the tie-rod central rod.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Saif Sultan, Sean R. Cysewski, Abul K. Azad, George B. Bojko, Jr., Matthew Edmunds, Christopher E. Plass

Patent number: 11498693Abstract: Example implementations relate to decorative display panels for aircraft interiors. An example display panel can include a display shell having one or more openings arranged to form a decorative design and a translucent layer coupled to the display shell. The translucent layer can extend across the openings in the display shell. The display panel can also include a lighting interface coupled to the translucent layer and configured to illuminate one or more portions of the translucent layer positioned relative to the openings in the display shell. The display shell may be coupled to the interior panel such that the translucent layer and the light interface are positioned in between the display shell and the interior panel from an aircraft. In some examples, the lighting interface can illuminate the display panel using different colors and patterns based on desired visual effect and/or operational status of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Sean R.

Patent number: 11021265Abstract: Example implementations relate to stowage bin lighting interfaces. An example apparatus includes a panel portion, and a set of fasteners configured to couple the panel portion to a stowage bin such that a curvature of the panel portion aligns with a curvature of the exterior of the stowage bin. Each fastener is configured to extend through the stowage bin into a back portion of the panel portion to couple the panel portion to the stowage bin. Aligning the curvature of the panel portion with the curvature of the exterior of the stowage bin enables the stowage bin to open and close when the panel portion is coupled. The apparatus further includes a lighting interface configured to couple between the panel portion and the exterior of the stowage bin at a position that enables the lighting interface to provide illumination through openings in the panel portion and ambient lighting.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Sean R. Cysewski

Patent number: 10975901Abstract: Provided are methods of attaching parts using slot cases and assemblies comprising these slot cases. A slot case is inserted into a slot or slid on a tab of a first part prior to attaching it to a second part. The first part may have pores that are partially open at the surface of the slot or tab. These pores may receive adhesive while attaching the two parts. The adhesive volume going into these partially open pores may vary among different first parts. To ensure that enough adhesive is supplied between the slot case and first part, the adhesive is introduced in between these components before attaching the second part and while the slot case and first part are more accessible. The adhesive may be supplied through the bottom of the slot case and continue until the adhesive appears at the top edges of the slot case.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Michael S. Lewis, Sean R. Cysewski, Brad J. Reeves, James S. Bradley
