Embodiment Construction

[0076] refer to figure 1 , which discloses a film applicator 30 for dispensing, laying down, compacting and trimming film material 32 on a surface 60a of an elongated member 34. For simplicity of description, device 30 may be referred to as film applicator 30 , and film material 32 may be referred to as film 32 , material 32 , or film material 32 . In the embodiments discussed in more detail below, the elongated member 34 may be a composite stringer, however, it should be understood that the film applicator 30 may be used to apply the film material 32 to the surface of any long and relatively narrow member, Examples include but are not limited to girders, girders, tandem trailers, frames, stringers, support structures, etc. The film material 32 may comprise any relatively thin flexible material desired to be applied to the elongated member 34, such as, but not limited to, an adhesive.

[0077] In a particular embodiment, the disclosed film applicator 30 may include several f...

Abstract

A transfer system including a frame having an upper end portion (100) and a lower end portion (84), a transfer fixture connected to the upper end portion (100), the transfer fixture defining a channel and including an elongate transfer member (34) positioned in the channel, the elongate transfer member (34) including a web (64) and a base flange (60) connected to the web(64).

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to apparatus and methods for applying film material to elongate members, such as stringers, and more particularly, to apparatus for holding a film applicator relative to an elongate member and conveying film application from elongate member to elongate member and methods. Background technique [0002] In the aircraft industry, elongated members (eg, composite stringers) must be held in a desired position while being prepared for bonding operations. During preparation for joining, a film adhesive material is manually spread over the length of the stringer, which may be 90 feet or more, and then the protective poly backer must be removed from the film. The entire length of film material is then turned over by a team of workers to place the film adhesive backside on the bottom flange of the stringer. Workers then manually trim excess film material from the edge of the bottom flange. [0003] During the operations describ...
