SEAL ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318721 titled 'SEAL ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLE
The abstract describes a seal assembly consisting of a cap and a seal, where the cap has an engagement structure and a flange, and the seal includes a seal body and bosses. The seal is compressible against the flange from a relaxed state to a compressed state.
- The seal assembly includes a cap with an engagement structure and a flange, as well as a seal with a seal body and bosses.
- The engagement structure on the cap is designed to connect the cap to an enclosure.
- The flange on the cap has multiple openings on both sides, while the seal body engages the second side of the flange.
- The bosses on the seal are positioned in the openings of the flange and can extend beyond the first side of the flange when compressed.
- The seal can transition from a relaxed state to a compressed state, allowing the bosses to extend from the openings.
Potential Applications: - This seal assembly could be used in various industrial applications where a secure and compressible seal is required. - It can be utilized in automotive, aerospace, and marine industries for sealing purposes.
Problems Solved: - Provides a reliable and compressible seal for enclosures. - Ensures a tight and secure fit between the cap and the enclosure.
Benefits: - Enhanced sealing capabilities. - Easy installation and removal. - Improved durability and longevity of the seal.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be applied in manufacturing industries for sealing equipment and machinery. - It can also be used in the construction sector for sealing building components.
Questions about Seal Assembly: 1. How does the compressibility of the seal benefit its functionality? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this seal assembly in industrial applications?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in seal technology and materials to enhance the performance of the seal assembly.
Original Abstract Submitted
a seal assembly includes a cap and a seal. the cap includes an engagement structure and a flange. the engagement structure is configured to couple the cap to an enclosure. the flange defines a plurality of openings that are open through a first side of the flange and a second side of the flange. the seal includes a seal body and a plurality of bosses. the seal body engages the second side of the flange and includes a plurality of bosses. each boss is positioned in a respective opening of the plurality of openings. the seal is compressible against the flange from a relaxed state in which the bosses are flush with the first side of the flange or recessed within the openings and a compressed state in which each boss extends from the respective opening beyond the first side of the flange.
