摘要： Supported face seal assemblies and related methods are disclosed. The supported face seal assemblies (156) have spring energized seal element (108) supported by a backing ring (132). When the two components are joined, they form an interlocking face seal assembly (156) that is less prone to separate during installation and/or service. The methods disclosed include the steps of forming a spring energized sealing element (108) with a convex outer surface (150), forming a backup or support ring (132) with a concave inner surface (146), assembling the sealing element into the inner bore of the backup or support ring such that the concave inner surface accepts a portion of the convex outer surface and the sealing element (108) is retained within the backup or support ring (132).

摘要： The present application relates to connectors that use canted coil springs to retain a pin to a housing. The connectors have increased disconnect to connect force ratios. Dual concentric spring configuration allows for an initial locking configuration that can be overcome with higher force and deflection of the second spring. Dual springs in series in a constrained groove can require a high force for connector disconnect, since force vectors may be in a direction relatively close to being along the spring major axis. A curved groove wall can offer resistance to a spring that is required to slide first into the groove in order to allow disconnect.

摘要： Seal apparatus includes a cover seal having a body and an extending cylindrical sleeve with the sleeve including a radial internal groove. A piston is provided having a circumferential groove and a biasing element is disposed between the internal and circumferential groove. Surfaces, disposed in the internal and circumferential grooves, orient the biasing element in order to effect sealing between the housing and the sleeve and an axial force to provide latching or locking between the seal and the piston.

摘要： A connector includes a housing (12) having a bore (14) with a groove (16) disposed on an inside surface (18) of the bore (14). A retainer (28) defines a spring cavity (30) between the retainer (28) and the release angle (22). A circular radial canted coil spring (32) is disposed in the cavity (30). A pin (34) has a tapered end (36) and a body diameter sized for sliding engagement with the bore (14) is provided which includes a circumferential groove (48) in the pin body (38) for receiving the spring (32) upon insertion of the pin (34) into the bore (14). The circumferential groove (48) includes a load angle (46) for rotating the spring (32) in an orientation in which the major spring axis (54) is parallel to the release angle (22) upon initial withdrawal of the pin (34) from the bore (14). The spring (32) is further compressed along a minor axis (56) and expands radially upon continued withdrawal of the pin (34) from the bore (14).
