  • Method for molding the hull of a vessel
    Patent number: 6517760
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for molding the hulls of vessels comprises a plurality of individual starboard base panels, starboard side panels, port base panels and port side panels, interconnected in a number of respective first panel groups and second panel groups, which groups are then connected side-by-side along the length of the vessel hull to be formed. The first panel groups are longitudinally spaced from one another and carried by adjustable vertical supports, whereas the second panel groups are removably mounted in between adjacent first panel groups to form a continuous negative mold surface against which the vessel hull can be constructed.

  • Method of joining honeycomb panels using a fastener element
    Patent number: 4370372
    Abstract: A method of joining together two composite honeycomb panels each having internal cellular structure wherein related bores are formed in the respective panels with at least one of said bores extending entirely through its panel, the panels are placed in tightly abutting relation with the bores in alignment, a hollow tubular fastener is inserted through the one bore to project into and along the aligned bores, and fluent anchoring glue type adhesive is forced into the fastener so that some of the adhesive extrudes from within the fastener through side apertures to randomly occupy adjacent space in the cellular structures of both panels, and the anchoring adhesive is hardened in situ; and the resultant coupled panel assembly.
