RETAINING RING FOR A CENTRIFUGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009684 titled 'RETAINING RING FOR A CENTRIFUGE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a retaining ring arrangement for a centrifuge rotor. The arrangement includes a base with a planar portion and a perimeter wall, as well as a lid with a planar portion. The lid is placed on the perimeter wall of the base, aligning the central axes of their respective apertures. The arrangement also includes a lid-locking mechanism to connect the base and the lid when closed.

  • The retaining ring arrangement is designed for a centrifuge rotor.
  • It consists of a base with a planar portion and a perimeter wall.
  • The base has an aperture centrally therethrough.
  • The arrangement also includes a lid with a planar portion and a centrally therethrough aperture.
  • The lid is placed on the perimeter wall of the base, aligning the central axes of their apertures.
  • A lid-locking mechanism is present at the lid and the base to connect them when closed.

Potential Applications:

  • Centrifuge systems in various industries such as medical, pharmaceutical, and research.
  • Laboratory equipment for separating substances based on density.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures secure and stable attachment of the lid to the base of the centrifuge rotor.
  • Prevents any leakage or loss of contents during centrifugation.
  • Provides a reliable and efficient sealing mechanism.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety by preventing accidents or spills during centrifugation.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of the centrifuge rotor.
  • Simplified assembly and disassembly process for the retaining ring arrangement.


Original Abstract Submitted

a retaining ring arrangement for a centrifuge rotor of a centrifuge, comprising a base, having a planar portion with an aperture centrally therethrough, the base further having a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the planar portion to define a cavity bounded by the planar portion and the perimeter wall. the retaining ring arrangement further comprises a lid, being a further planar portion with an aperture centrally therethrough, configured to be placed on the perimeter wall of the base and opposite the planar portion of the base so that a central axis through the aperture through the planar portion of the base aligns to a central axis through the aperture through the planar portion of the lid. the retaining ring arrangement also comprises a lid-locking mechanism at the lid and at the base, so that when the lid-locking mechanism is closed it connects the base and the lid.
