FASTENING FOR A SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR FOOD APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044372 titled 'FASTENING FOR A SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR FOOD APPLICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a sealing system that includes a casing with an internal seat, a front edge, an opening, and a radially external lateral surface defining an annular seat. The annular seat has an annular groove spaced from the front edge, mechanical stops, and axial grooves interrupting part of the front edge. The annular groove has a bottom wall with projections and depressions, and the cover has a bottom wall and an annular coupling portion with teeth. The annular seat is designed to receive the teeth of the cover.

  • The sealing system includes a casing with an internal seat and a cover with an annular coupling portion.
  • The annular seat of the casing has an annular groove with mechanical stops and axial grooves.
  • The annular groove of the casing has a bottom wall with projections and depressions.
  • The cover has a bottom wall and an annular coupling portion with teeth.
  • The annular seat is configured to receive the teeth of the cover.

Potential Applications:

  • This sealing system can be used in various industries where effective sealing is required, such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
  • It can be used in engines, pumps, compressors, and other machinery to prevent leakage and maintain proper functioning.

Problems Solved:

  • The sealing system provides an improved sealing mechanism by utilizing the annular groove and axial grooves to enhance the sealing performance.
  • The mechanical stops in the annular groove prevent excessive compression and ensure proper sealing.
  • The projections and depressions on the bottom wall of the annular groove create a better seal by increasing contact area and reducing the chance of leakage.

Benefits:

  • The sealing system offers a reliable and efficient sealing solution, reducing the risk of leaks and improving overall performance.
  • The use of mechanical stops and axial grooves enhances the sealing effectiveness and ensures consistent sealing pressure.
  • The design of the annular groove with projections and depressions improves the sealing capability and provides better resistance against external forces.


Original Abstract Submitted

a sealing system includes a casing with an internal seat, a front edge, an opening, and a radially external lateral surface defining an annular seat. the annular seat includes an annular groove axially spaced from the front edge, itself including one or more mechanical stops, and a plurality of axial grooves connected to the annular groove and interrupting radially at least part of the front edge. the annular groove defines a bottom wall provided with projections spaced from one another and defining depressions, the projections circumferentially offset from the axial grooves. the sealing system further includes a cover with a bottom wall and an annular coupling portion. a radially inner surface of the annular coupling portion includes teeth projecting radially inward and spaced circumferentially from each other. the annular seat is configured to receive the at least one pair of teeth of the annular coupling portion of the cover.
