摘要： A gasket seal for use in ultra-high vacuum systems is provided which comprises two rigid flanges disposed in opposite facing relation to each other, the flanges having a gasket inserted therebetween when the gasket seal is made up into its operating position. The gasket has at least one integral handle in the form of at least one wire adapted to extend from the gasket through a leak check groove of one of the flanges, the wire being used to handle the gasket and to clip the gasket to one of the flanges where desired prior to making up the joint. The wire may also be used as a conductor of heat to deliver heat to the portion of the system under vacuum, and the gasket may further have feedthrough means or a section having mounting holes for support structures extending inwardly of the flanges.

摘要： Gasket apparatus and hermetically sealed joints employing the apparatus are provided wherein a tapered male member and a tapered female member are joined and a substantially hermetic seal is created around a predetermined circumferential zone between the male member and the female member by a gasket disposed to have a protrusion thereon at the predetermined zone to engage one of the male or female members to concentrate the sealing forces for making up the joint at that zone.

摘要： An ultra-high, hermetically sealed optical mounting assembly for sealing a fragile optical element includes a lid portion defining a thin, bendable flange spring member to gradually and evenly apply a relatively low sealing load at a knife edge for grasping the optical element. A base portion defining a substantially non-bendable, mating flange surface defines a mating base, knife edge. A deformable metallic gasket is interposed between both knife edges and the optical element. An engineered gap between the opposed lid and base flanges and a second, optional gap between the lid and base nearest the window are used to control the amount of spring forces and the amount of compression on the window. A modest sealing pressure applied to the outer edge of the lid flange bends the flange towards the base to spring the remainder of the lid outwardly from the mating base thereby causing the sealing forces to be gradually transferred through the outwardly bending central portion of the lid to the knife edges which then gradually and evenly press against the metallic gaskets to seal the window. The bent lid flange is welded to the base forming a hermetic joint around the entire periphery of the optical mounting assembly. In other aspects, the spring mechanism is an angled spring member integral with the contact areas and a vacuum guard may connect with the sealed cavity formed between the ultra high vacuum seal around the window and the hermetic seal around the flange.

摘要翻译： 用于密封脆弱的光学元件的超高密封的光学安装组件包括限定薄的可弯曲的凸缘弹簧构件的盖部分，以逐渐且均匀地在刀刃处施加相对较低的密封负载以用于抓握光学元件。 限定基本上不可弯曲的配合凸缘表面的基部限定了配合基座，刀刃。 在两个刀刃和光学元件之间插入可变形金属垫片。 使用相对的盖和底部凸缘之间的工程间隙以及最靠近窗户的盖和底座之间的第二，任选的间隙来控制弹簧力的量和窗口上的压缩量。 施加到盖凸缘的外边缘的适度的密封压力使凸缘朝向底座弯曲，以使盖的其余部分从配合基座向外弹出，从而导致密封力逐渐通过盖的向外弯曲的中心部分转移到 刀刃然后逐渐均匀地压在金属垫圈上以密封窗户。 弯曲的盖凸缘焊接到基座上，在光学安装组件的整个周边上形成密封接头。 在其他方面，弹簧机构是与接触区域成一体的成角度的弹簧构件，并且真空防护件可以与形成在窗户周围的超高真空密封件和围绕凸缘的气密密封件之间形成的密封空腔连接。
