Patent number: 7850897Abstract: A method and device are provided for manufacturing a unitary caul sheet to be used in creating a composite material fuselage for an airplane. Specifically, a generally tubular shaped tool having a hollow interior cavity defining a fuselage IML surface is provided. In the method, a caul sheet material such as polyurea is applied to the IML surface before an armature is inserted into the interior cavity of the tool. Then, a filler material is introduced between the armature and the caul sheet material. Further, steam is injected to form the filler material into an infrastructure. Then, the caul sheet material is cured before the tool is removed from the caul sheet material to expose the caul sheet to receive composite material.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Spectrum Aeronautical, LLCInventors: Larry J.

Publication number: 20080182054Abstract: A multi-function vacuum bag for use in the manufacture of composites, wherein the vacuum bag may be configured to provide all-in-one capabilities, namely to function as the vacuum bag, a caul or caul sheet, release layer and/or a breather, as well as to provide other functions. Specifically, the multi-function vacuum bag allows a separate breather or breather material, a separate caul or caul layer, and a release or release layer all to be eliminated, if desired, as the multi-function vacuum bag is capable of performing the functions of each of these once formed. Furthermore, the multi-function vacuum bag may be used with various composite manufacturing process, such as VARTM or resin infusion processes, various vacuum bagging processes, filament winding processes, and others.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2008Publication date: July 31, 2008Inventors: Michael D.

Patent number: 6752190Abstract: Fiber laminations with a resin therein are advanced to substantial cure in situ while resin-impregnated fiber (in the form of individual tows, a band thereof, or a tape) is being placed on a workpiece on the mandrel by preheating the fiber in a temperature range of 100-700° F. for partially advancing the cure of the resin in the fiber, shaping the fiber to the desired shape, and laying up the partially advanced fiber on the workpiece on the mandrel while simultaneously nip-point heating the fiber in an area proximate to the point where the fiber is being placed on the workpiece. A plurality of parameters are monitored during this placement in order to control the nip-point heating so that the resin in the fiber is substantially cured while the fiber is being placed on the workpiece.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1993Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Alliant Techsystems Inc.Inventors: David J. Boll, Kenneth A. Lowe, William T. McCarvill, Michael R. McCloy
