20140263759 | NOZZLE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING COMPOSITE SANDWICH PANELS - A nozzle and system for manufacturing composite sandwich panels, including an input port configured to receive a fluidic production material for forming a composite sandwich panel; a branching element coupled to the input port, wherein the production material that enters the branching element is output from a first end and a second end of the branching element; and an elongate tubular member coupled to the first end and the second end of the branching element for receiving the production material, wherein the elongate tubular member has a first end; a second end and a plurality of openings formed in the elongate tubular member such that the received production material is output through the plurality of openings. In another embodiment, the nozzle includes a second plurality of openings formed in the elongate tubular member. | 09-18-2014 |
20140261980 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A MULTI-AXIS LAMINATE - A system and method of forming a multi-axis laminate including a production surface, a reinforcement material supply, and a resin supply, wherein the reinforcement material supply supplies a first layer of reinforcement material having a first fiber orientation to the production surface and a second layer of reinforcement material having a second fiber orientation on top of the first layer of reinforcement material, and wherein resin from the resin supply impregnates the first and the second layers of reinforcement material to form a laminate having a multi-axis fiber orientation. The reinforcement material supply may be a fiberglass material having a tri-axis fiber orientation that is layered to form a quatro-axis laminate. | 09-18-2014 |
20140261573 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING AN ACETONE SOLVENT TO CLEAN MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT USED TO MANUFACTURE COMPOSITE SANDWICH PANELS - A system and method for cleaning one or more components used to manufacture composite sandwich panels, which uses an acetone solvent and increased pressure to facilitate cleaning manufacturing equipment used to produce composite sandwich panels. The acetone solvent may be pressurized to enhance cleaning of the contaminated manufacturing equipment. A trough may be positioned to receive the acetone solvent for re-use. | 09-18-2014 |
20140260085 | COLUMNAR STRUCTURAL COMPONENT AND METHOD OF FORMING - A columnar structural component and method of forming a columnar structural element from a sandwich panel includes forming a number of sets of recesses in the sandwich panel and bending the sandwich panel at each set of recesses to form a columnar structural element. The columnar structural component includes a number of support members at least partially disposed within an area bounded formed with the sandwich panel is bent in the areas of the sets of recesses. | 09-18-2014 |
20140260084 | MULTIPLE PANEL BEAMS AND METHODS - A support beam and method for making a support beam, the support beam having a plurality of panels arranged side by side. The panels each have a core of insulative material and outer layers laminated to the core. The panels are adhered to one another and to top and bottom beam supports using bonding material. | 09-18-2014 |
20140260081 | MULTIPLE PANEL COLUMN AND METHODS - A support column and method for making a support column, the support column having a plurality of panels arranged side by side. The panels each have a core of insulative material and outer laminate layers laminated to the core. The panels are adhered to one another. | 09-18-2014 |
20140260053 | COLUMNAR STRUCTURAL COMPONENT AND METHOD OF FORMING - A columnar structural component includes a first sandwich panel bent to bound at least part of an area and a number of generally planar sandwich panels arranged to form a stack of sandwich panels. The stack of sandwich panels is at least partially in the area bounded by the first sandwich panel and the first sandwich panel and the stack of sandwich panels are cooperative with one another to form a columnar structural component. | 09-18-2014 |
