  • Patent number: 11135612
    Abstract: Rotating applicators are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes an inlet to receive a surface coating to be applied to a surface of a workpiece, a shaft having a fluid channel extending therethrough, where the fluid channel is in fluid communication with the inlet, and an applicator coupled to an end of the shaft, where the applicator has an opening in fluid communication with the fluid channel. The apparatus also includes a pump to cause the surface coating to flow from the inlet to the opening, and a motor to rotate the shaft while the applicator dispenses the surface coating from the opening.

  • Patent number: 10358303
    Abstract: A boom conveyor includes a boom that carries a conveyor, a support structure, a rear pivot joint that connects a rear end of the boom to the support structure, and a pivot drive that controls pivoting movement of the boom. An operator cage is attached by a front pivot joint to a front end of the boom. A levelling system controls rotation of the operator cage about the front pivot joint. The levelling system includes a flexible cord attached to the operator cage and extending towards the rear end of the boom, and a level adjusting device that is attached to the support structure adjacent the rear end of the boom and engages an adjusting portion of the cord. During pivoting movement of the boom, the level adjusting device controls longitudinal movement of the cord relative to the boom so as to apply a levelling adjustment to the operator cage.

  • Patent number: 9987714
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for installing a frangible collar onto a fastener installed in a hole using an end effector in which rotation of the fastener is not restricted by the hole. Rotation of the fastener may be restricted using the end effector. A frangible collar may be installed onto the fastener by an element installer of the end effector while the while restricting rotation of the fastener. A frangible portion of the frangible collar may be sheared off by torqueing the frangible portion using the end effector.

  • Patent number: 9434117
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for shaping an airfoil. A prepreg assembly is positioned relative to a part in a plurality of parts for a tool for the airfoil using a positioning section for a frame. The positioning section is configured to move relative to the tool and a base of the frame and move a number of parts in the plurality of parts for the tool relative to each other. A number of sections in the prepreg assembly are heated. A force is applied to the number of sections in the prepreg assembly that have been heated to conform to the tool to cause the number of sections in the prepreg assembly that have been heated to conform to the tool with a shape for a component of the airfoil.
