    TECHNICAL FIELD
    [001] The description generally refers to the repair of composite structures. More specifically, the description refers to a low-cost rapid composite repair template tool and a method for diligently locating and measuring a repair area on a composite structure for structure repair. BACKGROUND
    [002] In the repair of composite structures, measurement tools and manual layout can be used to measure and locate the area to be repaired. However, there may be a target time for each repair and conventional methods of measuring and locating the repair area can be time consuming. Furthermore, variations in methods for locating a repair area and applying a repair patch to the area can lead to uncertainty in the repair patch's position with respect to the damage which can affect the final cargo care capacity. Consistency in the application and location of repair patches will lead to less uncertainty and a better understanding of how the loads are introduced into the repair patch. The known position data will provide confidence in the use and application of repairs.
    [003] A low-cost rapid composite repair template tool and a method for diligently locating and measuring a repair area on a composite structure for structure repair are required to (a) ensure that installation time restrictions are met. and (b) ensure that installation position tolerances are met. SUMMARY
    [004] The description is usually directed at a composite repair template tool to diligently locate and measure a repair area on a composite structure for structure repair. An illustrative embodiment of the composite repair jig tool includes a tool body, a convex radius edge on the tool body and a concave radius edge on the tool body.
    [005] In some embodiments, the composite repair tool may include an alignment template that has a damage sizing opening; a plurality of damage dimension sheets carried by the alignment template and that have a plurality of different damage dimension openings, respectively, with each opening registering with the damage to the center of the alignment template, and the damage dimension openings progressively decreasing in diameter as much damage as possible.
    [006] The description is still generally directed at a compound repair method. An illustrative embodiment of the method includes providing a composite repair jig tool that has a tool body with a convex radius edge and a concave radius edge, placing one of the convex radius edge and the concave radius edge of the body. tool against a repair surface and initiate a repair process if a contour curvature of the repair surface has a radius equal to or greater than that of the convex radius edge and the concave radius edge of the tool body pattern. The concave and convex edges of the radius tool correspond to the minimum allowable radius of curvature over which the quick repair patch can be placed; a structure with a smaller radius of curvature is not approved to apply the repair patch.
    [007] In some embodiments, the composite repair method may include providing a quick composite repair template tool that has an alignment template with a sizing and damage location opening and damage sizing sheets on the plate. alignment with progressively smaller damage sizing openings aligned with the damage sizing opening of the alignment template; place the alignment template against a repair surface; progressively remove the damage sizing sheets from the alignment template until a repair area on the repair surface is able to be fully contained in the center of the sheet opening. The leaves get progressively larger up to the maximum allowed damage size. If the damage cannot be fully contained within the sheet with the largest opening or another specified sheet (which indicates the maximum allowable damage size), the damage is determined to exceed the allowable damage size to which the repaired area can be applied. If the damaged area fits within the damage size opening of at least one of the damage sizing sheets with a hole equal to or less than the allowable damage area, the damage is first centered within the opening and then repair can proceed and start.

    [0026] The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the described modalities or the application and uses of the described modalities. As used herein, the word "exemplary" or "illustrative" means "serving as an example, instance, or illustration". Any implementation described here as "exemplary" or "illustrative" should not necessarily be regarded as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to allow persons skilled in the art to practice the description and are not intended to limit the scope of the attached claims. Furthermore, there is no intention to be limited by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, in the fundamentals, in the following brief summary or detailed description.
    [0027] Referring initially to Figure 1, an illustrative embodiment of the quick compound repair template tool, hereinafter tool, is generally indicated by reference number 1. Tool 1 may include a tool body 2 which may have a generally triangular shape in some modalities. Tool body 2 may be a thin, durable water resistant material which may be able to withstand sanding and chemicals. In some embodiments, the tool body 2 can be made of plastic, metal or other suitable material.
    [0028] The tool body 2 may have a generally convex radius edge 3, a generally concave radius edge 4 and a ruler edge 5. In some embodiments, the tool body 2 may be generally triangular, as shown. Consequently, the concave radius edge 4 can generally extend perpendicularly from the convex radius edge 3 in a corner 7. The ruler edge 5 can extend from the concave radius edge 4 in a corner 8 and the convex radius edge 3 in a corner 9. Ruler markings 6 can be provided on the tool body 2 along the ruler edge 5. Ruler markings 6 can be millimeter markings, centimeter markings, inch markings or any combination thereof, for example, and without limitation.
    [0029] In the exemplary application, tool 1 can be used to measure the size and location of an area which must be repaired on the surface of a composite structure (not shown). Consequently, the radius of the surface of the repair area can be measured to ensure that the surface of the repair area has a radius which is capable of accommodating a rapid compound repair solution. In the case where the surface of the repair area is concave, the convex radius edge 3 can be placed against the surface of the repair area. In the event that the convex radius edge 3 of the tool body 2 makes full contact with the entire repair area surface, or touches a point, the radius of the repair area may be of sufficient size to allow the use of a quick compound repair patch. On the other hand, in the case where the convex radius edge 3 contacts the repair area with an exact match or the structure surface in two locations and a gap exists between the convex radius edge 3 and the repair area surface, the radius of the repair area surface may be insufficiently small to allow the use of a quick compound repair patch to repair the repair area.
    [0030] In the case where the surface of the repair area is convex, the concave radius edge 4 can be placed against the surface of the repair area. In the event that the concave radius edge 4 of the tool body 2 makes full contact with the entire repair area surface, or touches two points with a gap, the radius of the repair area may be large enough to allow the use of a quick compound repair patch. On the other hand, in the case where the concave radius edge 4 contacts the repair area surface at just one point along the concave radius edge 4 and the repair area surface, the radius of the repair area surface can be insufficiently small to allow the use of a quick compound repair patch to repair the repair area (the surface being measured has a smaller radius of curvature than the tool surface).
    [0031] In the case where the convex radius edge 3 coincides with the concave repair area surface or the concave radius edge 4 coincides with the convex repair area surface, the ruler markings 6 on the ruler edge 5 tool body 2 can be used to measure the location and / or size of the repair area. A suitably sized quick repair patch can then be selected and used to repair the repair area according to the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
    [0032] Referring below to Figure 2, an alternative illustrative modality of the quick compound repair template tool is generally indicated by reference number 1 to tool 1a may have a design which is similar to tool 1 which has been so far described with reference to Figure 1 except that tool 1a may have a notched corner 7a where the convex radius edge 3 meets the concave radius edge 4 and a truncated corner 9a where the convex radius edge 3 meets the ruler edge 5. Consequently, tool 1a may have fewer sharp edges or corners than tool 1 which has been described so far with reference to Figure 1.
    [0033] Referring next to Figures 3-13, an alternative illustrative embodiment of the quick compound repair jig tool is generally indicated by reference number 14. Tool 14 can be a thin, durable water resistant material which can be able to withstand sanding and chemicals. In some embodiments, the components of the tool body 14 may be of plastic, metal, reinforced paper or other suitable material. The tool body 14 can include an alignment template 15. The alignment template 15 can be thin enough to facilitate folding the alignment template 15 into the contour of the repair surface to which the alignment template 15 is applied. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, multiple alignment markings 16 can be provided on alignment template 15. In some embodiments, alignment markings 16 can be colored dots. In other modalities, the alignment markings can be square, triangular, and oval in shape. A damage dimension opening 17 can extend through the alignment template 15. As shown in Figure 14, in some embodiments the damage dimension opening 17 can have a diameter of approximately 158.7 mm (6.25 inches). Alignment template 15 can be 12.8 inches (304.8 mm) long and wide. Curved slits representing the diameter for a cover patch with a perimeter 18 can be provided over the alignment template 15. The slots in the template allow the structure in preparation for aligning the cover patch perimeter to be concentrated concentrically on the repair patch. . In some embodiments, the cover patch perimeter 18 may include slits which extend through the thickness of the alignment template 15. The cover patch perimeter 18 may correspond in diameter to the diameter of a cover patch (not shown) which it should be used to cover and seal a minor repair patch area over a composite structure, as will be described hereinafter.
    [0034] The exemplary dimensions for the alignment template 15 according to some modalities of the tool 14 are shown in Figure 14. In some modalities, the alignment template 15 can have a length and a width of approximately 304.8 mm (12 inches) +/- 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) or so). The damage sizing opening 17 of the alignment template 15 can have a diameter approximately equal to the size of the repair patch +6.3 mm (+0.25 inch), to represent the repair area plus a small margin to have a coating such as a removed paint. The difference in diameter distance between the damage sizing opening 17 and the cover patch perimeter 18 can be approximately 31.7 mm (1.25 inch) (+/- 1.27 mm (+/- 0, 05 inch)). In other embodiments, the dimensions of the alignment template 15 may be larger or smaller than those shown in Figure 14 depending on the desired application of the tool 14.
    [0035] Multiple damage sizing sheets 20a-20e can be provided on the alignment template 15. The damage sizing sheets 20a-20e can be thin enough to facilitate folding the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e for contour of the repair surface to which the alignment template 15 is applied. Damage sizing sheets 20a-20e can be detachable from alignment template 15. In some embodiments, damage sizing sheets 20a-20e can be attached to alignment template 15 and each other in a joint 19 that sticks and uses a removable pressure-sensitive tape to attach the sheets to the sheet below, for example, without limitation. The damage sizing sheets 20a-20e can be selectively detachable from the alignment template 15 and each other along the hinge 19. Each damage sizing sheet 20a-20e can generally be square or rectangular. A sheet removal tab 21 can extend from each damage sizing sheet 20 to 20e. The alignment inspection openings 22 may be aligned with the respective alignment markings 16 provided on the alignment template 15. A damage dimension opening 23 may be stacked and extended across with respect to each opening 23 in each dimension design sheet. damage 20 and diameter 17 in the template 15. The damage sizing openings 23 can be arranged in an aligned or registered relationship with each other and the damage sizing opening 17 in the alignment template 15. In some embodiments, the sheets damage sizing 20a-20e can be of different colors and the width or diameter of the damage sizing opening 23 can be marked to allow personnel to easily assess and report the size of the repair area in which tool 14 is applied. In some embodiments, the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e can progressively decrease in size from the alignment template 15 to the fifth damage sizing sheet 20e.
    [0036] In some embodiments, tool 14 may include a first damage sizing sheet 20a provided on alignment template 15; a second damage sizing sheet 20b provided on the first damage sizing sheet 20a; a third damage sizing sheet 20c provided over the second damage sizing sheet 20b; a fourth damage dimension sheet 20d provided on the third damage dimension sheet 20c; and a fifth damage dimension sheet 20e provided on the fourth damage dimension sheet 20d. In other embodiments, tool 14 may include a greater or lesser number of damage sizing sheets. Damage sizing sheets 20 to 20e can be progressively smaller in size from the first damage sizing sheet 10a to the fifth damage sizing sheet 20e. The damage sizing opening 23 of the first damage sizing sheet 20a may be smaller in size than the diameter 17 opening (the repair patch area plus the margin) of the alignment template 15, and the sizing openings of damage 23 can be progressively smaller in size from the first damage sizing sheet 20a to the fifth damage sizing sheet 20e. In some embodiments, each damage sizing sheet 20a-20e may have truncated corners 24 for purposes which will be described hereinafter.
    [0037] In an exemplary application, tool 14 can initially be inspected to determine if the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e are properly aligned with the alignment template 15. Consequently, a visual inspection can be made to determine whether the openings inspection line 22 on the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e are aligned with the alignment markings 16 (Figure 13) provided on the alignment template 15. In the event that the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e are properly aligned with the alignment template 15, the alignment inspection openings 22 on the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e register with the respective alignment markings 16 on the alignment template 15. Therefore, tool 14 can be used to locate, center the damage, and measure a repair area on the compound structure. In the event that the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e are not properly aligned with the alignment template 15, the alignment inspection openings 22 on the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e do not register with the respective alignment markings 16 on alignment template 15, and tool 14 can be replaced before the repair area location and measurement method is initiated.
    [0038] The alignment template 15 of tool 14 can then be placed against the repair area surface (not shown) of a composite structure. The entire repair area should be visible through the patch location plus margin 17 of alignment template 15 and the damage sizing openings 23 on the respective damage sizing sheet 20a-20e. In some applications, the repair area may include an irregular geometric shape. The damage area should be centered with the patch location plus margin 17 so that the repair area is at equal or uniform distance from the perimeter of the patch location plus margin 17.
    [0039] In the event that the entire repair area does not fit within the damage design opening 23 of the uppermost damage design sheet 20 (which corresponds to the fifth damage design sheet 20e in Figure 3), the fifth damage sizing sheet 20e can be removed from the fourth damage sizing sheet 20d so that the first damage sizing sheet 20a up to the fourth damage sizing sheet 20d remains on the alignment template 15, as shown in Figure 8 In the event that the entire repair area does not fit within the damage design opening 23 of the fourth damage design sheet 20d, the fourth damage design sheet 20d can be removed from the third damage design sheet 20c, as shown in Figure 9. The same process can be performed with respect to the third damage sizing sheet 20c, the second damage sizing sheet 20b, and the first sizing sheet damage 20a until the repair area is centered inside the damage sizing opening 23 of one of the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e. The damage sizing opening 23 of the first damage sizing sheet 20a can match the maximum allowable size of the repair area to allow the use of a quick compound repair using a repair patch. Damage sizing sheets 20a-20e can be removed from alignment template 15 and one of the others by grasping and pulling sheet removal tabs 21. This process is documented in Figure 16.
    [0040] After the repair area is assembled and centered through the damage dimensioning opening 23 of one of the damage dimensioning sheets 20a-20e, the alignment template 15 can be attached to the surface of the repair area on the structure compound using tape (not shown) or other suitable fixation technique. As shown in the drawings, due to the truncated corners 24 on the damage sizing sheets 20a-20e, the template corners 15a of the alignment template 15 remain exposed to facilitate fixing the corners of the alignment template 15 on the repair surface. After the alignment template 15 is attached to the repair surface, the remaining damage sizing sheet or sheets 20a-20e can be detached from the alignment template 15. The alignment template 15 can be additionally attached along its perimeter on the surface repair using an additional tape (not shown). In another embodiment of the alignment template 15, the damage sizing sheets 20 can be recessed and slightly smaller than the alignment template 15 on at least one edge, allowing to be secured by tape, and the subsequent removal of the damage sheet.
    [0041] After the alignment template 15 is attached to the repair surface and the damage sheet or sheets 20a-20e remaining are detached from the alignment template 15, the repair area can remain exposed through the dimension opening of damage 17 from alignment template 15 and can correspond to the area of removing paint and applying adhesive for applying a quick compound repair patch (not shown). The coverage patch perimeter 18 over the alignment template 15 can indicate the coverage patch coverage area. In some embodiments, the cover patch perimeter 18 can include slits which extend through the alignment template 15 and can be used as a pen guide or marker to draw a line on the repair surface. The alignment template 15 can then be temporarily removed from the repair surface. The line which was made using the pen or marker can remain on the repair surface and corresponds to the coverage patch perimeter 18 on the alignment template 15, serving as a guide line for applying the coverage patch to the repair area . The paint can be removed from the repair surface by sanding the repair surface within the boundaries of the marked circle or drawn on the repair surface.
    [0042] The alignment template 15 can then be reapplied to the repair surface and used as a template for applying an adhesive to the repair area. The line which has been marked on the repair surface can facilitate the realignment of the alignment template 15 with the repair area on the repair surface. An adhesive (not shown) can then be applied to the sanded repair surface within the diameter of the damage sizing opening 17 of the alignment template 15, after which the cover patch can be adhered to the surface using the adhesive and the adhesive can be cured using healing techniques which are well known to those skilled in the art.
    [0043] Referring to Figure 15, a flow chart 1500 of an illustrative embodiment of a rapid compound repair method is shown. In block 1502, a quick composite repair template tool that has a tool body and a convex radius edge, a concave radius edge and a ruler edge with ruler markings on the tool body. In block 1504, the convex radius edge or the concave radius edge of the tool body can be placed against a concave repair surface or a convex repair surface, respectively. In block 1506, the repair process can be continued if the concave repair surface matches the contour of the convex radius edge or the convex repair surface matches the contour of the concave radius edge, respectively, of the tool body. In block 1508, the repair process can be discontinued if the repair surface is smaller than the convex radius edge or the concave radius edge of the tool body. In block 1510, the repair area can be sanded. In block 1512, an adhesive can be applied to the repair area. In block 1514, a repair patch can be applied to the adhesive. In block 1516, the adhesive can be cured.
    [0044] Referring to Figure 16, a flow chart 1600 of an exemplary exemplary embodiment of a rapid compound repair method is shown. In block 1602, a quick composite repair template tool that has an alignment template with a damage size opening and damage sizing sheets over the alignment template can be provided. Damage sizing sheets may have progressively smaller damage sizing openings. In block 1604, the alignment of the damage sizing sheets with the alignment template can be checked. In block 1606, the alignment template can be placed against a repair surface. In block 1608, a repair area on the repair surface can be seen through the damage sizing openings. In block 1610, the damage is centered within the damage dimension sheet opening and the question is asked whether the repair area is centered within the damage dimension sheet opening. If the answer is yes, then proceed to block 1612. If the answer is no, then proceed to block 1611 to ask the question "is the damage sheet the largest sheet or the maximum allowable damage size". If yes, then proceed to block 1613 to remove the present damage dimension sheet and expose the next damage dimension sheet that has a larger damage dimension opening, then proceed to block 1608. In block 1612, the template alignment can be stuck to the repair surface. In block 1614, the remaining damage sizing sheets can be removed from the alignment template. In block 1616, the repair area can be sanded. In some embodiments, a fault patch perimeter can be provided over the alignment template, and the repair surface can be marked using the cover patch perimeter and the alignment template can be removed from the repair surface before sanding the area. of repair. In block 1618, the alignment template can be replaced on the repair surface and an adhesive can be applied to the repair area using the alignment template as a template. In block 1620, a repair patch can be applied to the adhesive. In block 1622, the adhesive can be cured.
