Publication number: 20200011463Abstract: A hose coupling for attachment to an end portion of a hose. The hose coupling may include a fitting, a termination attachment, and an end termination. The fitting may be attachable to the end portion of the hose. The fitting may include a ferrule and a stem. The ferrule may be attached to the stem. The termination attachment may be attached to the fitting in opposing relationship to the end portion of the hose. The end termination may be associated with the termination attachment. In some examples, the end termination is threaded, welded, integrally formed, integrally machined, or otherwise associated with the termination attachment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: DONALD R. GILBREATH, RON TRUJILLO, RUDY BRAUN, CHARLES GRAY, Karlton L. Wolf

Publication number: 20170173918Abstract: A composite component assembly may include a composite core including a plurality of core cells between first and second ends. A connection joint is formed between the first and second ends. An adhesive layer is disposed within the connection joint between the first and second ends. The adhesive layer is configured to bond the first and second ends through a curing process. A peg splice securing joint securely connects the first and second ends together before and during the curing process.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2017Publication date: June 22, 2017Applicant: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Bruce Taylor, JR., Geoffrey Gibbings, Rudy Braun, Kyle Christopher Advent

Patent number: 9126670Abstract: In an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a panel assembly for joining to a structure and method of making the same. The assembly has a first panel element having at least one first panel nonlinear edge, and has a second panel element having at least one second panel nonlinear edge, wherein the second panel nonlinear edge is designed to interlace with the first panel nonlinear edge to form a panel assembly with interlaced panel edgebands for joining to a structure. A width of the interlaced panel edgebands is reduced as compared to a width of adjacent panel edgebands formed by adjacent panel elements having linear edges, and the reduced width results in an overall reduced weight of the panel assembly and the structure to which the panel assembly is joined.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Gagan Thable, Michael A. Baschak, Rudy Braun, Marc Storozuk

Patent number: 7484593Abstract: There is provided an acoustic structure and a method of manufacturing such acoustic structure. The acoustic structure comprises at least one uncured facesheet ply defining a plurality of perforations, an adhesive that includes a corresponding plurality of perforations, and a honeycomb core portion adhered to the facesheet ply by the adhesive. The acoustic structure undergoes a single curing process, advantageously an autoclave curing process, to cure the entire acoustic structure. By adhering at least one uncured facesheet ply to the honeycomb core portion, the curing process is capable of curing both the facesheet ply and the adhesive with a single curing process. The single curing process accordingly obviates additional process steps and a sacrificial adhesive layer typically used in other acoustic structures.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2004Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Rudolf (Rudy) Braun, Clarence P. Terpstra, Loren Hendrickson
