20080230996 | Sealing Element and a Method for Sealingly Mounting of a Cable - The invention relates to a flexible sealing element sealingly attached to a cable intended for connection to attachment means on e.g. the roof of a base station cabinet. When attaching the cable the front end of the sealing element is retracted to a position uncovering connecting means at the cable end. After attachment the front end is moved back to a position covering the connected cable end. | 09-25-2008 |
20080277878 | Device and Method for Contamination-Free and/or Sterile Sealing Between At Least Two Interconnectable Connecting Means - A method and a device are provided for contamination-free and/or sterile sealing between two interconnectable connecting means having opposing openings. Interconnection allows transfer of a fluid between the openings. Sealing elements are arranged on the connecting means around the openings, and protective films are provided, covering the sealing elements and the openings and adapted to be removed in the final interconnection. The sealing elements are each provided with at least one recess which extends wholly or partly around the associated opening and receives a gas. In use the sealing elements are moved into engagement with each other, interleaved with the protective films, to reduce the volume of the recesses and, thus, increase the pressure of the gas therein. During removal of the protective films, the gas flows out of the recesses to the environment to prevent penetration of contamination into the openings. | 11-13-2008 |
20090152817 | ENERGIZED DYNAMIC SEAL USED IN OIL WELL EQUIPMENT - A seal assembly usable with a well includes a seal ring that is adapted to expand radially inwardly and radially outwardly in response to being longitudinally compressed between a first energizing ring and a second energizing ring. The seal assembly may also include a first backup ring between the seal ring and the first energizing ring and a second backup ring between the seal ring and the second energizing ring. | 06-18-2009 |
20090166976 | INFLATABLE SEAL, SET OF FLANGE PARTS AND CONTAINER COMPRISING SUCH SEAL, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH SEAL - An inflatable seal for sealing an annular space between two flange parts is formed by a hollow ring composed of elastic material. The hollow ring has a tubular cross-section with a peripheral wall and is provided with a connection for an inflation medium. The peripheral wall comprises, in at least one area of the tubular cross-section, a blocking element having a substantially larger cross-sectional dimension than the remaining part of the peripheral wall. Furthermore, a set of flange parts and a container comprising such a seal, and a method of manufacturing such a seal are disclosed. | 07-02-2009 |
20090194946 | Sealing for ball-and-socket joints and use thereof - Sealing for ball-and-socket joints, where ball-and-socket joint is defined as the joint between a swivel sphere and a fixed part, and said fixed part is anchored to a structure on which the ball-and-socket joint is mounted. The sealing comprises a frame arranged around the circumference where the swivel sphere is joined to the fixed part, and a brush. The brush is made up of a set of threads or hair of a material that is natural or synthetic, and flexible. And frame and brush are stuck to the fixed part by means of an adhesive of the type that cures with the local application of heat. | 08-06-2009 |
20090243220 | FLUID BARRIERS WITH FLEXIBLE BACKING MATERIAL AND METHODS OF REPAIRING AND MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A component to be repaired includes a relatively rigid plate. On a surface that may have been subject to fracture, a resin material is first laid down, then a relatively flexible material is positioned outwardly of the resin material to repair the barrier. A part may also be formed initially with the flexible material. In another feature of this application, a method of forming a barrier includes providing a composite material, and applying a relatively flexible material on a surface of the composite material, and concurrently molding the relatively flexible material with the composite material using a composite mold. | 10-01-2009 |
20100044965 | Laminated Multiple-layered split boot - A laminated multiple-layered split boot layer assembly, providing both very important qualities of easy installation and reliable boot sealing performance. Easy installation is easy to achieve but the reliable boot sealing performance of substantially high degree of reliable boot sealing performance is very much needed but has eluded many inventors until now. Many different solutions and approaches are used, such as multiple layering, reinforcement with fastener such as glue sealant adhesive, reinforcement encircling rings, and appropriately positioning each split boot layer's cut ( | 02-25-2010 |
20100066025 | Vehicle Seal With Sensor Feedback - The invention provides a seal for a slide-out room of a recreational vehicle. The slide-out room is movable in a range of positions including a retracted position and an extended position. The seal is compressible between the slide-out room and a side wall of the vehicle and includes at least one sensor capable of detecting a force or a lack thereof on the seal, to indicate if adequate compression of the seal has been achieved in a stop position of the room or if there is an obstruction in between the stop positions. | 03-18-2010 |
20110018205 | DOOR SEAL SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED CARGO CONTAINERS - Some embodiments of a cargo container door seal system can provide seal members to hinder leakage of conditioned air along the top edge and the side edges of an access door of a temperature-controlled cargo container. For example, the seal system may include mating seal members proximate to a top edge of a roll-up door of a refrigerated trailer, and may also include flexible side seal members proximate to the left and right side edges of the roll-up door. | 01-27-2011 |
20110248450 | Bulkhead seal - A bulkhead seal includes a housing configured to be attached to a bulkhead about a shaft and defining an annular recess. An annular diaphragm seal is rotatably disposed in the annular recess of the housing and about the shaft. A plurality of orifices extend through the annular diaphragm seal to prevent air pressure differentials from locking the annular diaphragm seal with respect to the housing. A lip seal is provided on each side of the annular diaphragm seal. Each lip seal includes a seal portion disposed to seal the orifices in the presences of liquid. | 10-13-2011 |
20130154193 | Seal for a Journal Assembly for a Pulverizer and Method of Using the Same - A system for sealing a port of a pulverizer. A pulverizer has journal assembly and a port for receiving the journal assembly. At least a portion of the journal assembly extends through the port. The system further includes a seal having a first end and a second end. The seal includes a first opening at or near the first end and a second opening at or near the second end. A bore extends between the first opening and the second opening. One of the first end and the second end is coupled to the pulverizer and the other one of the first end and the second end is coupled to the journal assembly. The seal inhibits fluid communication through the port. | 06-20-2013 |
20130292908 | ROADSIDE REPAIR KIT FOR RESTORING TIRE BEAD INTEGRITY - A sealing tube is wrapped around the rim and inflated such as to seal the gap between tire and rim if the seal between the tire bead and rim has lost its integrity. After this, the tire can be inflated to specified pressure at a slow rate using a portable compressor. The repair can be done at roadside on any vehicle using inflatable tires usually without demounting the wheel or even jacking up the defective wheel. | 11-07-2013 |
20160082479 | SEAL WITH SUPPORT MEMBER - This disclosure is generally drawn to systems, devices, apparatus, and/or methods related to sealing mechanisms for vibratory separators. Specifically, the disclosed systems, devices, apparatus, and/or methods relate to seals having support(s) for improved installation in and/or removal from a vibratory separator. In some examples, an apparatus may include a seal and a support member. The seal may have two opposing side members and an end member coupled to and extending between the two opposing side members. The support member, which is at least partially rigid, may be coupled to the end member of the seal. In some examples, the support member may be integrated with or removably coupled to the seal. | 03-24-2016 |
