Coordination hole drilling applied tool and method

摘要

Apparatus and methods for use are disclosed for coordinating a hole of one part with a hole of another part. The apparatus may include a base member, a pin member defined by a slot having a first length in one direction which is greater than a second length in a second direction, and an index member extending beyond an end of the base member. The index member may be adapted to position the first length of the slot in a position parallel to a datum of a part being joined by the apparatus. During operation, a portion of the pin member may be inserted in a hole of one part. The slot may be at least partially aligned with a second, smaller hole in another part.

主权项

1. An apparatus for joining a plurality of parts comprising:
a base member having a top surface, a bottom surface substantially parallel to the top surface, and an end, wherein the end connects the top surface and the bottom surface; a pin member having a first surface, a second surface, and a slot extending from the first surface of the pin member through the second surface of the pin member, the slot having a first length in one direction which is greater than a second length in a second direction, the first length and the second length disposed on the first surface of the pin member, the pin member extending past the top surface of the base member; an index member extending at least partially beyond the end of the base member, the index member configured to position the first length of the slot in a position substantially parallel to a datum of a first part of the plurality of parts; a locking member, wherein the locking member is configured to lock the base member to the index member; and at least one boss member defined by at least one aperture and at least one hole, wherein at least a first portion of the index member extends at least partially into the at least one aperture and at least a second portion of the locking member extends at least partially into the at least one hole.
