Latest Patents
Malasse holds a patent for a "Process and device for welding a thermoplastic stiffener." This invention relates to a device designed for welding a stiffener to a skin. The stiffener features a foot with a bearing surface that is parallel to the skin surface, along with a flange that projects away from the plane of the bearing surface. The device includes a metallic support with a seating surface that matches the shape of the receiving side, a groove that accommodates the flange of the stiffener, and an insulative supporting structure that positions the bearing surface against the receiving side. Additionally, a conformal panel applies pressure to force the bearing surface against the receiving side. A heater temporarily raises the temperature of the bearing surface and the adjacent receiving side to above the melting point of the matrix, allowing for effective welding of the stiffener to the skin.
