Apparatus for and method of seating a fastener insert in a honeycomb panel

摘要

A fastener insert attached to a mounting fixture is inserted into a hole drilled in a honeycomb panel. The mounting fixture has a rod with a disc at an end depending from a base and a chimney ascending from the base. Two bores are located in the base and are enclosed by the chimney. The mounting fixture base overlaps the head of the fastener insert which has two bores in the head. The bores in the fastener insert head are aligned with bores in the base of the mounting fixture. Epoxy is inserted into one of the bores in the base of the mounting fixture continuously until it returns out the second bore. The epoxy is allowed to cure and thereafter the mounting fixture is removed by a turning motion.
