Joint molding

摘要

A joint molding apparatus(10) for molding joints between composite panels (18) comprising inflatable molding bladders (12) connectable to a source of pressurized fluid. A bladder support structure (16) supports the bladders (12) in respective positions adjacent an intersection of panels (17) where, when inflated, the bladders (12) support a joint (20) formed at the intersection of panels (17) while an uncured portion of the joint (20) is curing to hold the joint in a desired configuration at the panel intersection (17).
