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

摘要

A fastener insert 16 attached to a mounting fixture 30 is inserted into a hole 10 drilled in a honeycomb panel 12. The mounting fixture has a rod 32 with a disc 38 at an end depending from a base and a chimney 36 asending from the base. Two bores 40,42 are located in the base and are enclosed by the chimney. The mounting fixture base overlaps the head 18 of the fastener insert 16 which has two bores 20,22 in the head. The bores in the fastener insert head 18 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.
