SEAL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011565 titled 'SEAL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a seal assembly that includes a collar, an annular member, and end plates. The collar has an opening to receive a rotatable shaft and an outer surface with helical threads. The annular member has an opening to receive the collar and a smaller axial length compared to the collar. The end plates are fixedly coupled to the collar's end surfaces. The invention also includes a method for preventing contamination of a sealed chamber using this seal assembly.
- The seal assembly consists of a collar, annular member, and end plates.
- The collar has an opening to receive a rotatable shaft and helical threads on its outer surface.
- The annular member has an opening to receive the collar and is smaller in axial length compared to the collar.
- The end plates are fixedly coupled to the collar's end surfaces.
- The invention provides a method for preventing contamination of a sealed chamber using this seal assembly.
Potential Applications
- Industrial machinery and equipment
- Automotive engines and transmissions
- Aerospace and aviation systems
- Oil and gas pipelines
- Medical devices and equipment
Problems Solved
- Prevents contamination of sealed chambers
- Ensures proper sealing and protection of internal components
- Reduces the risk of leaks and damage to machinery or systems
Benefits
- Improved reliability and performance of sealed chambers
- Increased lifespan of machinery and equipment
- Cost savings from reduced maintenance and repairs
- Enhanced safety by preventing contamination-related failures
Original Abstract Submitted
a seal assembly including: a collar having an opening configured to receive a rotatable shaft, an annular member having an annular opening configured to receive the collar, and first and second end plates fixedly coupled to a respective one of the first and second end surfaces of the collar. an outer surface of the collar includes one or more helical threads. the collar has a first axial length defined between first and second end surfaces of the collar, and the annular member has a second axial length defined between first and second end surfaces of the annular member, in which the second axial length is less than the first axial length. also provided are an assembly comprising a seal assembly in accordance with the present disclosure and a method for preventing contamination of a sealed chamber.
