INTERLOCKING SECTIONAL TUBING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019052 titled 'INTERLOCKING SECTIONAL TUBING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a tube arrangement that consists of two wedge-shaped circular tubes, or pie cuts, with a minimum distance between their front and back faces that is smaller than the maximum distance between the front and back faces. The front face of the first pie cut has evenly spaced keys, which engage with evenly spaced facets on the back face of the second pie cut. A weld seals the joint between the front face of the first pie cut and the back face of the second pie cut. This arrangement allows for the construction of custom-shaped exhaust tubes by welding the offset pie cuts as needed.

  • The tube arrangement includes two wedge-shaped circular tubes, or pie cuts.
  • The front and back faces of each pie cut define the shape of the tubes.
  • The minimum distance between the front and back faces is smaller than the maximum distance.
  • Evenly spaced keys are dispersed along the front face of the first pie cut.
  • Evenly spaced facets are dispersed along the back face of the second pie cut.
  • A weld seals the joint between the two pie cuts.
  • This arrangement allows for the construction of custom-shaped exhaust tubes by welding the pie cuts as needed.

Potential Applications

  • Custom-shaped exhaust tubes for vehicles.
  • Construction of specialized piping systems.
  • Creation of unique structural components for various industries.

Problems Solved

  • Allows for the construction of custom-shaped exhaust tubes without the need for complex bending or forming processes.
  • Provides a more efficient and cost-effective method for creating custom tube shapes.
  • Enables the creation of complex tube arrangements with precise fit and alignment.

Benefits

  • Simplifies the manufacturing process for custom-shaped exhaust tubes.
  • Reduces production time and costs compared to traditional methods.
  • Provides flexibility in designing and constructing tube arrangements for specific applications.
  • Ensures a secure and reliable joint between the pie cuts through welding.


Original Abstract Submitted

a tube arrangement as described herein can include a first and a second wedge shaped circular tube, or pie cut, that are each defined by a front face and a back face, a minimum face-to-face distance between the front face and the back face that is smaller than a maximum face-to-face distance between the front face and the back face. a plurality of evenly spaced keys is dispersed along the front face of the first pie cut. the keys are engaged with a plurality of evenly spaced facets dispersed along the back face of the second pie cut. a weld seals a joint located between the front face of the first pie cut to the back face of the second pie cut. this arrangement is beneficial for constructing custom shaped exhaust tubes by welding the offset pie cuts as needed.
