摘要： Two steel pipes are each connected to a mounting flange for joining the two pipes, the flanges in one embodiment being fixed stationary to each other and in a second embodiment fixed movable relative to each other. A compressed knitted wire mesh seal is between the two flanges in a dynamic embodiment. Each flange has a spherical inner concave or outer convex surface and the seal has an inner concave and outer convex spherical surface. The seal outer convex spherical surface has a radius smaller than the mating flange concave inner surface. The origins of the two radii are offset. The seal inner concave spherical surface has a radius that is larger than the mating spherical outer convex surface of the corresponding flange. The seal contacts the two flanges in an annular set of pressure points to provide enhanced sealing action. In a second embodiment, the pipes are fixed stationary relative to each other and the outer flange is connected to a pipe spherical segment which segment has an inner concave spherical surface which engages the seal outer convex surface. The radii of the mating surfaces are different to provide enhanced sealing pressure points at the tangency of the mating surfaces.

摘要： Compressed wire filament(s) form a seal that seals the joint between first and second pipes of an automotive exhaust system secured by bolted together first and second flanges. The seal is initially attached to the first pipe and first flange in an intermediate assembly by an interface connection that prevents the seal from axially moving off of the first pipe prior to final assembly to the second pipe and second flange. A male projection is at the end region of the first pipe outer surface to which the seal is attached. The first flange abuts the seal at a planar seal interface. The seal has a bore with a longitudinal channel portion for initially axially engaging the projection and a transverse channel portion medially the seal bore for receiving the projection by rotation of the seal after the projection is axially displaced within the seal bore. The transverse channel portion may be tapered to wedge the projection in place to preclude accidental disengagement of the seal prior to final assembly to the mating second flange and second pipe. The joint in one embodiment articulates and in a second embodiment the joint is fixed and does not articulate. Various embodiments are disclosed.

摘要： A joint seal has a through bore and two spherical spaced convex surfaces which mate with respective concave spherical surfaces on a pair of adjacent flanges. The flanges are welded to and about the periphery of corresponding spaced pipes one of which is inserted in the bore of the seal. The flanges are joined by two bolts, one flange being fixedly secured to the bolts and the other resiliently movably secured to the bolts by a pair of springs to permit that other flange to rotate in response to rotation of the pipe affixed thereto. The one flange forms a static wedge-like seal joint with one of the pipes and the other flange a dynamic seal joint with the respective seal spherical surfaces, the spherical seal and flange surfaces being urged together in wedged relation by the springs.

摘要： A tubular sound/heat insulating tubular structure which may serve as a muffler packing for internal combustion engine exhaust mufflers comprises in one embodiment an inner layer of solely stainless steel wire mesh formed into a continuous length tube. An intermediate structure in that embodiment comprises a flattened tubular structure which is wrapped into two overlying layers of coknitted basalt or other continuous length non-metallic fibers and preferably stainless steel wire. The flattened juxtaposed layers are wrapped about the inner layer at least once by feeding both structures through a cone and forming at least two or more layers of coknitted wire mesh and basalt fibers. In this embodiment, an outer layer of solely stainless steel wire mesh is then knitted about the overlying concentric tubular structures fed from the cone into and through a knitting machine. The continuous length of overlying concentric tubes are then sized by pulling through dies to form and shape the inner and outer diameters and then cut to length.

摘要： A flattened tubular knitted wire mesh is passed through a bath of a slurry comprising a vermiculite binder and a high temperature lubricant powder with optional metal fibers suspended in water to form an impregnated moving slurry filled web. The slurry filled web is passed between metering bars to remove excess slurry to reduce the web to the desired thickness and then dried in an oven at a temperature in the range of about 200-400.degree. F. The web is conveyed at about 5 feet/minute and forms a continuous sheet of flexible preform with a dried filler which is wound on a take up roller driven by a motor via a controller which also operates the web drying oven. The preform is then formed into discrete preforms for article manufacture such as seals and the like by conventional die compression.
