Patent number: 10626992Abstract: A sealant containment assembly is configured to bound at least a portion of a fastener pattern between at least two components, such as components used to form at least a portion of an aircraft. The sealant containment assembly includes at least one sealant containment member that is configured to sealingly engage peripheral portions of components. The sealant containment member(s) is configured to form a sealing chamber around at least a portion of the fastener pattern. Fluid sealant is configured to flow into the sealing chamber and cure to seal fasteners within the fastener pattern that connect the components together.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Jesse Randal Wiseman, Shane S. Park, Donald K. Crenshaw, Kjersta Larson-Smith, Geoffrey Eric Towle, Hugh Christopher VanValkenburgh, Karen A. Schultz, Solomon T. Atsebha

Patent number: 10556665Abstract: A dry bay sealing assembly is provided that includes a first end plate and a second end plate that are configured to be disposed on respective opposite first and second sides of a structural member proximate to a joint defined between the structural member and a fitting. The first end plate and the second end plate are configured to define an interior volume therebetween containing at least a portion of a fastener joining the structural member and the fitting. The first end plate and the second end plate are configured to cooperate with the structural member to seal the interior volume from an exterior volume.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Steven A. Best, Jesse Randal Wiseman, Hugh Christopher VanValkenburgh, John R. Lowell

Patent number: 10259018Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealing a fastener element. A structure may be positioned over a seal cap that has been adhered and sealed to the fastener element. A number of projections associated with the structure may be moved along an interface formed between the seal cap and an object in which the fastener element has been installed such that the number of projections removes at least a portion of excess material around the seal cap while moving along the interface between the seal cap and the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Jesse Randal Wiseman, Roger A. Gage, Matthew Gregory Kesterson, Stephan Joel Favilla

Patent number: 9789971Abstract: An aircraft fuel cell seal and methods of its use. The disclosed seal takes the form of a pre-cured, partially hollow elongate member that does not subtend a complete circle, but rather leaves an elongate gap in the member that can be placed over an edge or fillet of a fuel cell. In some cases, chambers within the member may be filled with wet sealant to provide redundant protection against EME effects.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Jesse Randal Wiseman, Kevin Darrell Pate, Matthew G.
