Filed:

Mar 9, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/522222

Inventors:

Branko Sarh - Huntington Beach CA
Trent Logan - Foothill Ranch CA
David Stanley - Los Alamitos CA

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Seattle WA

International Classification:

B23Q 1700

US Classification:

2940709, 294071, 295241, 29 34 B, 29709, 29715, 29719, 403 13, 403 16, 403 76

Abstract:

An apparatus for installing rivets or other fasteners through a workpiece includes an automated machine disposed on one side of the workpiece and a hand-held tool that is manipulated by a single worker located on the opposite side of the workpiece. The automated machine includes an end effector supporting tools such as a drill and a riveter. The automated machine also includes a guide structure adapted to be releasably affixed to the workpiece, and a carriage that travels along the guide structure and supports the end effector so that the end effector can be positioned in various locations along the surface of the workpiece where fasteners are to be installed. The end effector includes an electromagnetic clamping device, and the hand-held tool includes a magnetic clamping block that is attracted by the clamping device to clamp the workpiece therebetween. The end effector generates a positioning signal and the hand-held tool includes a detector for detecting the positioning signal. The detector is operable to generate guidance information telling the person operating the hand-held tool where to move the hand-held tool so as to align the tool with the end effector of the automated machine.

Filed:

Dec 14, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/318505

Inventors:

David J. Stanley - Colorado Springs CO, US

International Classification:

B60P007/08

US Classification:

410 97, 410 96

Abstract:

A cargo restraint system comprising, a network of restraining tie-down arms having interconnected common proximal extremities and a plurality of distal extremities, said network arranged to form an angle between each arm, the vertex of said angle being congruent with the common proximal extremities, with a first fastener secured to the arms at the vertex of the angle and a second fastener secured to each of the distal extremities of the arms. Preferably, each of the arms carries a third fastener or connecting eye intermediate the first and second fasteners.

Appl. No.:

11/971765

Inventors:

David J. Stanley - Colorado Springs CO, US

International Classification:

B61D 45/00

US Classification:

410100, 410 97

Abstract:

A cargo restraint apparatus comprising, multiple radially extending flexible straps each slidably attached at its proximal end to a common central flexible loop. The distal end of each strap is provided with a connector for attachment of the distal strap end to a cleat or loop on a pallet or other surface on which the cargo is to be secured. An adjustable buckle or similar cinching device is disposed on each strap to adjust its length to create a tension force in the strap which will be opposed by tension forces in one or more straps on the opposing sides of the central loop.
