SUSTAINABLE COMPOSITE CYLINDER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027025 titled 'SUSTAINABLE COMPOSITE CYLINDER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a composite cylinder assembly consisting of a tube liner and a port. The tube liner has a closed bottom, a cylindrical wall, and a domed head with a neck. The port is designed to fit into the inner diameter of the liner neck and has a lip with a larger outer diameter than the liner neck. The port also has a swage recess with a smaller outer diameter than the liner neck. The port is press-fit into the liner neck and the lip provides a surface area for welding the port to the liner neck. The swage recess allows for swaging the liner neck to the port.

  • The composite cylinder assembly consists of a tube liner and a port.
  • The tube liner has a closed bottom, a cylindrical wall, and a domed head with a neck.
  • The port is designed to fit into the inner diameter of the liner neck.
  • The port has a lip with a larger outer diameter than the liner neck.
  • The port also has a swage recess with a smaller outer diameter than the liner neck.
  • The port is press-fit into the liner neck.
  • The lip provides a surface area for welding the port to the liner neck.
  • The swage recess allows for swaging the liner neck to the port.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Composite cylinder assemblies can be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
  • They can be used as fuel tanks, pressure vessels, or storage containers.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The composite cylinder assembly provides a secure and leak-proof connection between the tube liner and the port.
  • The press-fit and welding of the port to the liner neck ensure a strong and durable assembly.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The composite cylinder assembly offers improved structural integrity and reliability.
  • It allows for efficient manufacturing and assembly processes.
  • The secure connection between the tube liner and the port ensures safety and prevents leaks.


Original Abstract Submitted

a composite cylinder assembly may comprise a tube liner and a port. the tube liner may include a closed bottom portion, a substantially cylindrical wall, and a domed head portion defining a neck. the port may comprise an outer diameter configured to fit into an inner diameter of the liner neck. the port may further comprise a lip including an outer diameter that is greater than the inner diameter of the liner neck. the port may also comprise a swage recess having an outer diameter that is less than the inner diameter of the liner neck. the port may be configured to press-fit into the liner neck. the lip may be configured to provide a surface area to weld the port to the liner neck. the swage recess may be configured to provide an area to swage the liner neck to the port.
