ABSTRACT:
An attachment assembly for connecting a pressure vessel to another object, but preferably for connecting rocket motors to one another, including several successive layers, which are arranged in the following order: first, a reinforcement section on an outer casing of a first pressure vessel; second, a layer of resilient shear ply material adhered to the outermost surface of the reinforcement section; third, a saddle positioned over the shear ply; fourth, an overwrap which secures the saddle to the shear ply; fifth, a plurality of lugs which are secured to the saddle; sixth, a connecting means attached to one of the lugs; seventh, a strut wherein a first end thereof is attached to at least one of the lugs; and, eighth, a attachment means for connecting a second end of the strut with a second pressure vessel. The method includes constructing the reinforcement section; adhering the shear ply to the reinforcement section; positioning the saddle over the shear ply and attaching lugs to the saddle; applying an overwrap over the saddle; attaching a connecting means to one of the lugs; connecting a strut to both the connecting means as well as to the second pressure vessel.
