==SUSTAINABLE COMPOSITE CYLINDER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027026 titled 'SUSTAINABLE COMPOSITE CYLINDER

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a composite cylinder assembly that includes a tube liner with two domed portions and a cylindrical wall. The assembly also includes at least one port, which has an outer diameter that fits into the inner diameter of a liner neck. The port has a lip with a larger outer diameter than the liner neck, and it also has a swage recess with a smaller outer diameter than the liner neck. The port is designed to be press-fit into the liner neck and welded to it. The swage recess allows for swaging the liner neck to the port.

* The composite cylinder assembly includes a tube liner with two domed portions and a cylindrical wall.
* The assembly has at least one port that fits into 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 and welded to it.
* The swage recess allows for swaging the liner neck to the port.

Potential Applications:
* This technology can be used in the manufacturing of composite cylinder assemblies for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and energy.
* It can be applied in the production of pressure vessels, fuel tanks, and storage containers.

Problems Solved:
* The composite cylinder assembly provides a secure and reliable connection between the port and the liner neck.
* The swage recess allows for a tight and strong attachment of the liner neck to the port.
* The lip provides a surface area for welding, ensuring a durable bond between the port and the liner neck.

Benefits:
* The press-fit and welding techniques used in this technology result in a robust and leak-proof connection.
* The swaging process enhances the structural integrity of the assembly.
* The composite cylinder assembly offers improved safety and performance compared to traditional cylinder designs.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a composite cylinder assembly may comprise a tube liner including a first domed portion defining a first liner neck, a second domed portion defining a second liner neck, and a cylindrical wall. the cylinder assembly may comprise at least one port. the port may comprise an outer diameter configured to fit into an inner diameter of a liner neck and a lip including an outer diameter that is greater than the inner diameter of the liner neck. the port may comprise a swage recess having an outer diameter that is less than the inner diameter of the liner neck and 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.
