==VARIABLE BACK-UP RING AND A SEALING STRUCTURE HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18391069 titled 'VARIABLE BACK-UP RING AND A SEALING STRUCTURE HAVING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The sealing structure described in the abstract is a system that includes a first connector body with a groove, a second connector body surrounding the first connector body, an O-ring partially inserted into the groove of the first connector body, and a variable back-up ring also partially inserted into the groove of the first connector body to secure the O-ring. The variable back-up ring can change shape in a radial direction based on the amount of fluid pressure between the first and second connector bodies.

* The sealing structure includes a first connector body with a groove.
* A second connector body encompasses the first connector body.
* An O-ring is partially received in the groove of the first connector body.
* A variable back-up ring is partially received in the groove of the first connector body and holds the O-ring.
* The variable back-up ring is deformable in a radial direction based on the fluid pressure between the first and second connector bodies.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, plumbing, and hydraulic systems.

== Problems Solved ==
This innovation helps prevent leaks in fluid systems by providing a secure and adjustable sealing structure.

== Benefits ==
The sealing structure offers improved reliability, flexibility, and efficiency in maintaining fluid-tight connections.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Variable Back-up Ring Sealing Structure for Enhanced Fluid Sealing Efficiency"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be similar sealing structures in the market, but the specific design of a variable back-up ring for adjusting to fluid pressure may be unique to this patent application.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the variable back-up ring compare to traditional sealing methods in terms of longevity and effectiveness? ===

The variable back-up ring's performance over time and in various conditions compared to traditional sealing methods is not discussed in the abstract.

=== Are there any specific industries or applications where this technology would not be suitable or effective? ===

The abstract does not mention any limitations or restrictions on the use of this sealing structure in certain industries or applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A sealing structure includes a first connector body having a groove, a second connector body encompassing the first connector body, an O-ring partially received in the groove of the first connector body, and a variable back-up ring partially received in the groove of the first connector body and holding the O-ring. The variable back-up ring is deformable in a radial direction depending on a magnitude of a fluid pressure applied between the first connector body and the second connector body.
