Abstract

See full text

Process for compressing a three-dimensional rigid body against a rigid adhesive-coated support member during the curing cycle of the adhesive. Spaced bands or straps of strong, non-stretchable fibers are applied over the body and through opposed openings in the adhesive-coated support member, and the opposite ends of each strap or band are engaged in adjustable tensioning members. The tensioning members are tightened to provide and maintain a predetermined pressure between the adhesive coated support member and the three-dimensional body while the adhesive is subjected to a curing cycle. In a preferred embodiment the compressed unit is assembled with other elements to be cure-bonded thereto and the assembly is united in a single cure cycle.
