Abstract:
The invention relates to a sealed container (1) comprising a container body (2) having a through-hole (8) that is delimited by a flange and is closed by a removable door (7) mounted on the flange and an annular seal located between the flange and the door (7), characterized in that the flange consists of two separate concentric sleeves, one of the sleeves defining an outer flange body (5) arranged to allow a connection of the container body (2) to a flange having a complementary shape on an enclosure, the other sleeve defining an inner flange body (6) arranged to allow a connection of the door (7) to the flange, the outer flange body (5) being made entirely or partially of a resistant plastic material selected from plastics that are resistant to autoclave sterilization cycles, while the inner flange body (6) is made of a metal alloy.
Abstract:
A pole cap is presented made of a plastic material for the pressure-tight closure of a pressure vessel. The pole cap comprises an inner side for the later closure of the pressure vessel, an outer side for the superwinding with a fiber composite material after closure of the pressure vessel and a neck-shaped open duct, which protrudes outwardly from the outer side and has an inner contour, each made of plastic material, and comprises a pressure port element connected to the duct for the closure of the duct, wherein the pressure port element comprises a seal cone made of metal with a first section protruding outwardly through the duct and a second section tapering at least in the area of the duct in a cone-shaped manner in the direction of the first section.
Abstract:
An accumulator vessel (10) includes a screwable portion (3) and a lid portion (2) that is positioned at an axially inner side of the screwable portion and an axially inner surface configures a pressure bearing plane. The lid portion includes a protruding portion (22) extending axially outward on an inner circumferential side, and the protruding portion configured to abut against an axially inner end side of the screwable portion to separate an axially inner surface of the screwable portion on an outer circumferential side thereof apart from an axially outer surface of the lid portion on an outer circumferential side thereof.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a hydraulic plug. A shell with a circumferential wall, a sealed end, an open end and an axially extending cavity within is provided in which the cavity is defined by an internal surface with an inner diameter which narrows towards the open end. A head of an expander is inserted into the cavity, the expander further comprising a stem extending from the cavity for applying a tensile force (T) to the head. A sleeve is provided on a stem side of the head extending into the cavity, an end of the sleeve adjacent the head having an inner diameter which is less than a maximum outer diameter of the head. The sleeve is formed by expanding the sleeve by forcing the head into the end of the sleeve through urging the sleeve and/or expander towards the other in an axial direction.
Abstract:
A safety enclosure includes an adaptor arranged to attach to a cartridge or product barrel of a pumping system. The adaptor defines an axial bore and an outer radial surface. The outer radial surface defines a first plurality of radial ridges and a plurality of gaps extending in an axial direction between groupings of the first radial ridges. A cap includes a radial inner surface defining a receiving space and a second plurality of radial ridges. The receiving space is arranged to receive an upper portion of the adaptor and the second radial ridges are arranged to selectively mate with and engage the first radial ridges of the adaptor. A locking system includes a locking arm movably attached to the cap and including a lock piece arranged to selectively protrude into the receiving space to lock the first radial ridges in engagement with the second radial ridges.
Abstract:
A gasket for a compressed gas cylinder arranged to operate with a gas cylinder having a neck with a top surface around a gas outlet and a side surface extending downwardly from the top surface. The gasket may include an upper portion arranged for positioning on the top surface of the cylinder and for making a seal with the top surface, and a lower portion extending downwardly from the upper portion and around the side surface of the neck of the cylinder, such that the lower portion is arranged to make a seal with the side surface of the gas cylinder. Face and gland seals may be established by the gasket with an opening that receives the gasket and an associated cylinder neck.
Abstract:
The pressure vessel includes a tubular portion and a cover portion made of fiber reinforced plastics. The outer peripheral surface of an end portion of the tubular portion has a reverse-tapered shape of which the diameter is increased toward an end face. The cover portion includes a wedge-shaped member installed along the reverse-tapered shape of the outer periphery surface of the end portion of the tubular portion, an outer ring for covering the wedge-shaped member from the outside, an inner ring installed to cover an opening of the tubular portion and the wedge-shaped member and connected to the outer ring, and a sample cap connected to the inner ring.
Abstract:
The container is comprised of a side wall of which the end edges are each provided with a blocking member, of which at least one is inserted in order to close an opening. The peripheral outline of the inserted blocking member and the interior outline of the associated end edge of the side wall have generally complementary shapes on at least one portion of their respective heights, in such a way that said inserted blocking member comes to be housed on at least one portion of its height in the space defined by said end edge of the side wall and comes to bear against said end edge by adjusting lugs in recesses of complementary shape. The inclined joining surfaces form an angle from 20° to 40° with the axis of the container.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a, in the closed state, gas-tight detonation-proof container for the transport and storage of detonation-dangerous material, which container can be opened and closed by remote control. The container (1, 2), which is of the type which can be opened by separation, will also, if required, be able to be used for the active detonation of dangerous material inside the same. The detonation-proof transport container according to the invention is particularly characterized in that it is opened and closed by means of a locking ring (3), which is disposed between the two parts (1, 2) of the container and is arranged such that it can be circumrotated in the parting plane of the said parts and which, in the closed state, holds together the two parts of the container and, for this purpose, has a double-sided multi-toothed bayonet coupling (11, 12, 7, 8, 15, 16) which, upon a limited circumrotation, locks in the two parts (1, 2) of the container.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel includes a body 10 and a cover 12. An O-ring 20 surroung the upper opening 11 of the vessel body 10 cooperates with a diaphragm 21 sealingly inserted in the cover 12. The diaphragm 21 extends beyond the O-ring 20 in the radial direction inside the cover 12. When the vessel is pressurized, a pressure difference acts on the diaphragm 21 to press an annular plate 23 driven by the diaphragm 21 against the O-ring 20, while the cover 12 is secured by a bayonet locking 24, 25 against being lifted off the vessel body. The pressure inside the vessel is thus used to produce the sealing force. In the unpressurized condition, the cover 12 may be easily placed on the vessel body 10 without effort, and rotation about a small angle is sufficient for securing the cover. In case the bayonet locking has not been completely closed, pressure applied to the vessel will lift the cover 12 by a certain amount, thereby automatically releasing the seal. As a result, no substantial pressure can build up, and the cover is prevented from becoming suddenly disengaged and thrown off the vessel.
