Publication number: 20250178137Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for a fabrication layout device and assembly table. The device includes a table with a work surface. The work surface being a continuous surface and configured to support a plurality of railing pieces for fabrication of a railing assembly. The device further includes a beam located above the work surface. The beam is operatively coupled to the table, such that the beam moves relative to the work surface in a first direction. Attached to the beam is an ink dispenser. The ink dispenser is configured to move along the beam in a second direction different from the first direction. The ink dispenser is further configured to dispense ink onto the work surface of the table in the form of a pattern of the railing assembly. Railing pieces can be positioned on the pattern so that they can be assembled to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2025Publication date: June 5, 2025Inventors: Stephen Lawrence Chasse, John Michael Evans

Publication number: 20230038040Abstract: Techniques and devices are disclosed for fabrication workstation and assembly layout device. The fabrication workstation includes a table with a work surface. The work surface being a continuous surface and configured to support a plurality of components for fabrication of an assembly, such as an assembly of metal components. The device further includes a beam located above the work surface. The beam is operatively coupled to the table, such that the beam moves relative to the work surface in a first direction. A marking device on the beam is configured to move along the beam in a second direction different from the first direction. The marking device is further configured to mark the work surface in the shape of an assembly pattern. Assembly components are positioned on the assembly pattern to be assembled.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Stephen L. Chasse, John Michael Evans

Patent number: 6408938Abstract: An aluminum alloy containing (in wt. %): 0.2-0.5 Fe; 0.7-1.2 Si; 1.2-1.6 Mn; up to 0.3 Mg; up to 0.5 Cu; up to 0.2 Zn; up to 0.1 Ti is used to make the fins of heat exchangers particularly car radiators. The finstock has high post braze strength and thermal conductivity, and has a sufficiently electronegative potential as to be capable of acting as a sacrificial anode for the heat exchanger tubes. By virtue of the absence of Sn, In, and Cr, these heat exchangers can be scrapped and melted for re-use.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1998Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Alcan International LimitedInventors: Alan Gray, Richard Kendall Bolingbroke, John Michael Evans
