Patent ID: 7926318

Claim:
An installation system, comprising: a mandrel including a tapered expansion portion and a major diameter, the tapered expansion portion having a longitudinal length; an alignment device configured to seat a radial flange of a structural member against a first surface of a workpiece, the radial flange located at a first end of the structural member, the alignment device comprising: a resilient main body that elastically deforms from an unexpanded state to an expanded state when radially expanded a substantial amount by the mandrel, the resilient body including an outer surface, an inner surface forming an opening through the alignment device, the inner surface having an inner diameter sized to be at least slightly smaller than the major diameter of the mandrel, the opening having a longitudinal length that is shorter than the longitudinal length of the tapered expansion portion of the mandrel, and a contacting surface extending substantially from the inner surface to the outer surface, the contacting surface sized to abut at least a portion of an end surface of the structural member and at least a portion of a second surface of the workpiece, the second surface of the workpiece opposing the first surface of the workpiece, the end surface of the structural member opposing the first end of the structural member with the radial flange.
