    摘要: An indexing pin comprises a central axis. The indexing pin further comprises a threaded portion, extending along the central axis. The indexing pin also comprises a stem, extending along the central axis opposite the threaded portion. The indexing pin further comprises a cylindrical surface, extending along the central axis between the threaded portion and the stem. The indexing pin further comprises a tapered surface, extending between the threaded portion and the cylindrical surface. The indexing pin further comprises a flange, located between the stem and the cylindrical surface.

    摘要: A tool bit includes a body having an internal cavity extending along a longitudinal axis between a first distal end and a second distal end. A plurality of channels of the body extend transverse from the internal cavity of the body. The first distal end includes an inlet in fluid communication with the internal cavity and the plurality of channels. The body includes an outer surface having a plurality of outlets spaced from the second distal end. Each one of the plurality of outlets is in fluid communication with a corresponding one of the plurality of channels such that a fluid is deliverable into the body via the inlet and out of the body via the plurality of outlets. A tooling assembly for applying a fluid to a surface includes a workpiece and the tool bit as discussed above which is movable relative to the workpiece.

    摘要: A method (2000) of aligning a first body (302) and a second body (304) of a structure (300) comprises: preparing indexing pins (100); orienting the second body (304) so that second openings (308) extend vertically; orienting the first body (302) so that first openings (306) extend vertically; and aligning the first openings (306) with the second openings (308) so that a circumferentially closed contour (342), formed by each one of the first openings (306) and a corresponding one of the second openings (308) is large enough to receive a threaded portion (126) of any one of the indexing pins (100) with a clearance fit. The method (2000) further comprises: moving the first body (302) and the second body (304) toward each other; inserting the indexing pins (100) into the first openings (306); and applying a downward force on the indexing pins (100), while allowing the first body (302) and the second body (304) to move relative to each other.

    摘要: An electromagnetic effect suppressing termination part is provided for a fastener formed of a metallic material, the fastener having a head, a shank, and a threaded portion opposite the head. The termination part includes a main body defining an internally threaded portion configured to threadably receive the threaded portion of the fastener, the internally threaded portion defining a thread major diameter. A collar is coupled to a distal end of the main body by a frangible web, wherein the main body, collar, and frangible web are formed of a metallic core coated by a layer of dielectric material. The frangible web, when broken, presents an exposed portion of the metallic core, wherein the frangible web includes an inner surface radially outwardly offset from the thread major diameter of the internally threaded portion by a setback distance.

    摘要: An installation tool assembly includes a workpiece and a tool. The workpiece includes a first wall having an aperture and a second wall spaced from the first wall relative to a first axis to present an access point therebetween. The installation tool assembly includes a fastener disposed in the aperture of the first wall at an initial position. The fastener includes a hole and a fastener locking feature disposed inside the hole. The tool includes a tool locking feature that is configured to engage the fastener locking feature to secure together the fastener and the tool in the initial position. The tool is operable to pull the fastener farther through the aperture into an interference fit with the first wall in an installed position. A tooling assembly includes the tool and the fastener. A method of installing the fastener to the workpiece uses the tool.

    摘要: A method of aligning a first body and a second body of a structure comprises orienting the first body so that first openings extend vertically and inserting indexing pins into the first openings. The method comprises orienting the second body so that the second openings extend vertically and aligning the second openings with the indexing pins. The method comprises moving the first body and the second body toward each other, while: allowing the first body and the second body to move relative to each other and applying a downward force to the indexing pins. The method comprises moving the first body and the second body toward each other until a first-body second surface contacts a second-body first surface, while applying the downward force to the indexing pins.
