Latest Patents
One of Steve's notable patents is an apparatus and method for making a tubular composite barrel. This invention features a 360° tool that is adjustable between a molding position and a non-molding position. The tool consists of a base, a fixed segment mounted to the base, and first and second doors hingedly connected on either side of the fixed sector. Additionally, a third door is hingedly connected to the second door, with a circumferential extent that is less than one-fourth that of either the first or second door. Sealing members are provided between the doors to ensure a secure fit. The collective design of the fixed sector and the doors creates a predetermined shaped surface that corresponds to the contour of the tubular structure being formed. After applying composite material to the outer surfaces, a vacuum bag is formed to surround the composite material and the joint areas on the inner surface of the tool. The entire assembly can be placed in an autoclave for curing, and the tool can also be utilized for the layup and bonding of an acoustic core sandwiched between pre-cured skins.
