  • Reinforcer with pre-applied bonding material
    Patent number: 9079615
    Abstract: A reinforcement including at least two separate members that are secured to each other. The reinforcement may further include a bonding material that is disposed on at least one of the members and confined within an outer perimeter of the carrier. The bonding material may be configured to secure the carrier to the structure. The two members are secured to each other to permit at least one of translational and rotational relative movement therebetween such that one of the members engages the bonding material, thereby forcing the bonding material beyond the outer perimeter of the carrier.
    Type: Grant

  • Structural reinforcer with bonding material on orthoganal surfaces
    Patent number: 8746780
    Abstract: A reinforcer for installation in a structural member is disclosed. The reinforcer includes a rigid carrier having at least a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is substantially orthogonal to said second surface. Bonding material is disposed both on said first surface and said second surface. The reinforcer is configured to be installed in a structural member such that the first surface is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the structural member, and the second surface is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the structural member.

  • Structural reinforcer applied to cut-out area of structural member
    Patent number: 8366181
    Abstract: A structural member assembly includes a substantially hollow structural member and a structural reinforcer. The hollow structural member is formed by a plurality of panels. At least one of the panels includes a cut-out region extending from the edge of the panel to the interior of the panel so that the cut-out region is not fully enclosed by the panel. The structural reinforcer includes a rigid carrier and a bonding material. The structural reinforcer is installed in the interior of the structural member across said cut-out region.
