| 277639000 | Compression limiting feature | 8 |
| 20090051127 | Water-proof mechanism for a container or device - A water-proof mechanism for a container or device which comprises a casing with an opening having a threaded portion disposed on the outer or inner surface of the casing at or near the opening; a first removable or linked cover with a corresponding threaded portion disposed on its inner or outer surface for engaging with the threaded portion of the casing with a cavity formed in between the first cover and the opening; and a second removable or linked cover disposed inside the cavity for closing the opening with one or more sealing members in between to seal at the interface. The container or device with the present mechanism can be immediately and easily unsealed for next use, and the water-proof function is more reliable and the construction is less complicated with less time and costs or production. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090250886 | Pump Cover Inlet Porting and Seal for Hybrid Transmission - A hybrid transmission is provided, including a transmission housing with an input cover attached to a main housing portion, and a hydraulic fluid reservoir in fluid communication with and attached to the transmission housing. The transmission also includes an input shaft in driving communication with an engine. A pump cover is attached to the input housing to define a pump pocket therebetween. A torque transmitting assembly is secured to the pump cover. The torque transmitting assembly includes a piston housing member that is coaxial with and longitudinally spaced from the pump cover to define an inlet passage therebetween. The inlet passage is configured to communicate the hydraulic fluid reservoir with the transmission housing, and is oriented at least partially radially adjacent to the pump pocket. A gasket member is disposed between the pump cover and piston housing member, and configured for fluidly sealing the same. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090261532 | COMPRESSION-LIMITED GASKET CONSTRUCTION - Sealing gasket construction for providing a fluid seal intermediate a pair of opposed, mating parts or structures. The gasket includes a body formed of a resilient material, and one or more integral compression limiters each received in a corresponding aperture formed through the body. Each of the limiters is formed of a rigid material and extends through the body from a first flanged portion to a second flanged portion with the body being clamping therebetween. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20120139190 | RING SEAL RETAINER ASSEMBLY AND METHODS - A retainer for a gasket used to connect modular piping in a modular gas delivery system to the gas flow controlling components protects the sealing surface of the gasket from scratches before assembly by suspending the gasket at least 0.003 inches inside the retainer, regardless of orientation. Additionally, a slit in the circumference of the retainer allows the retainer to flex open for insertion of the seal gasket, and to compress to a smaller circumference, for a tight fit inside the sealing counterbore. A chamfer on the ID of the retainer aids the easier insertion of the seal into the retainer. In the ID of the retainer, a groove engages a protruding portion of the seal. The depth of this groove is such that with a complete compression of the retainer where the circumferential gap is completely closed, the protruding edge of the seal still has some clearance. This clearance acts as a stop to prevent the retainer from being overly compressed. | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120187638 | Cast Gasket - A gasket is formed using a plurality of compression limiting inserts each having first and second surfaces, and at least one edge disposed between the first and second surfaces with an elastomeric sealing material bonded thereto. Opposite ends of each of the compression limiting inserts are aligned with, and spliced to, adjacent ones of the compression limiting inserts by the elastomeric sealing material. The plurality of compression limiting inserts are aligned to form a completed gasket. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20130249173 | GASKET - In a gasket sealing a gap between two opposed surfaces, the gasket is constructed by a tabular main body portion, two lip-like projections which are provided in one surface of the main body portion, and extend in parallel to each other along the main body portion, two small projections which are provided in the other surface of the main body portion and extend in parallel to each other along the main body portion, through holes which are provided at a plurality of positions of the main body portion, and an annular seal portion which is provided in such a manner as to surround the through holes. Accordingly, it is possible to have a good installation property of the gasket and a good stability (seating property) after the installation, and the gasket can be compressed highly by a low reaction force, and has a high reliability. | 09-26-2013 |
| 20140167367 | GASKET HAVING A PLIABLE RESILIENT BODY WTIH A PERIMETER HAVING CHARACTERISTICS DIFFERENT THAN THE BODY - A single piece gasket is disclosed having a skeletal member, typically metallic, and a pliable body. The pliable body includes a first portion having a first firmness and a second perimeter portion have a firmer consistency. When such a composite body is placed under compression, the perimeter will tend to limit the flow of the softer inner material past the firmer perimeter region or portion of the gasket. In this manner, creep or overrun of the less firm portion material will be reduced. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20160025224 | HEAT-RESISTANT GASKET - A heat-resistant gasket is provided with a first coating plate in which an annularly continuous emboss portion is formed and which is made of metal, a second coating plate which is arranged so as to face to the first coating plate in a thickness direction and is brought into close contact with a convex surface of the emboss portion, in which end portions in an inner peripheral side of the emboss portion are connected in a state of being in close contact with and lapped over the first coating plate and which is made of metal, and an expanded graphite core which is pinched between the first coating plate and the second coating plate, in a portion between the emboss portion and the overlapped portion of the end portions. Therefore, excellent sealing performance can be maintained even under a high-temperature environment while preventing stress relaxation due to heat. | 01-28-2016 |
