Abstract:
A method of forming a seal assembly for sealing a space between a first member having a central axis and an outer surface and a second member having a radially-extending axial surface includes the following steps: providing an elongated elastomeric body and a biasing member, the elongated body having opposing ends and a generally V-shaped groove generally along a length of the body between the two ends; bending the elongated body circumferentially about the first member outer surface; coupling the ends of the elongated body to form an annular seal body; and positioning the biasing member within the groove such that the biasing member exerts a radially-inwardly directed force on the annular seal body so as to substantially prevent relative angular displacement between the seal body and the first member.
Abstract:
A syringe insertion apparatus (100) is provided. The syringe insertion apparatus (100) comprises a handle (101). The syringe insertion apparatus (100) further includes one or more deformable arms (102a, 102b) extending from the handle (101). The one or more deformable arms (102a, 102b) define an opening (103) and comprise a height (H 2 ). The height (H 2 ) of the opening (103) is sized to simultaneously receive a portion of a syringe (203) and at least a portion of a coaxially aligned sealing member (204).
Abstract:
Outil de mise en place d'un joint dans une gorge (6), caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un patin ayant une face (20) supérieure plane et lisse de glissement et une face inférieure sur laquelle sont ménagées, successivement suivant le sens longitudinal de glissement du patin, une rampe (25) s'éloignant de la face supérieure au fur et à mesure qu'elle se rapproche d'une plateforme (26), plane et lisse, formant la surface la plus basse de la face inférieure, la plateforme étant suivie d'un toc d'entraînement.
Abstract:
A gasket insertion tool (30) which includes a gasket holding formation (18) for holding a gasket (10) in position and a pair of spaced seats (12) on the gasket holding formation, the pair of spaced seats at a spacing to match the spacing between a pair of spaced bolts holding joint flanges of a bolted flanged pipe joint, the seats being shaped to seat, in use, on a pair of spaced flange holding bolts and locating the gasket held by the gasket holding formation in position between and co-axial with the flanges of the joint.
Abstract:
A tool (200) for removing a seal (120) is provided, wherein the seal (120) has a grooved inner peripheral surface (124). The tool (200) comprises a tubular member (202) and at least two jaws (206a, 206b). The tubular member (202) has inner and outer surfaces, and first and second ends (208, 210) and a passage (118, 216) therebetween. First and second slots (224a, 224b) are formed between the tubular member inner and outer surfaces, and each equally spaced apart from one another about a predetermined axis. First and a second jaws (206a, 206b) are at least partially slidably disposed in the first and second slots (224a, 224b), respectively, and each jaw (206a-206c) has an outer peripheral surface (228) having at least one protrusion (232) formed thereon. The protrusion (232) is configured to mate with the grooved inner peripheral surface (124). Each jaw (206a-206c) is configured to selectively radially expand away from and retract toward the predetermined axis.

Abstract:
A method and assembly of replacing a receptacle seal is provided. A seal removal kit includes a poppet depressing member, retaining collar, seal removing tool, and a seal insertion sleeve that allows the seal to be replaced without removal of the receptacle or portions thereof from a vehicle.
Abstract:
An insertion tool (10) for inserting a backup ring (80) and an O-ring (82) into a gland (90). The tool includes a body having a recess (38) for containing the backup ring and the O-ring. The tool further includes a pusher (50) movably mounted adjacent to the body. The pusher is moveable in a first direction (58) and a second direction (60). The pusher includes a pulling device for pulling the backup ring and the O-ring in the first direction. The pusher further includes a pushing device for pushing the backup ring and the O-ring in the second direction into the gland.
Abstract:
A tool for the removal of radial sealings comprises a handle (1) transverse of which a channel (6) extends for receipt of a long narrow gripping element (2) in a protruding state at an angle to the handle. In the vicinity of the channel (6), a device (8) is arranged for clamping the gripping element in a desired position relative to the channel. The gripping element (2) may grip in behind the stiff frame of a radial sealing with a hook portion (2"), and then the sealing may be removed by turning or breaking the tool around a support point.
Abstract:
The specific utensil for the disassembly and the assembly of oleodynamic and air gaskets according to the present invention consists of a straight body (1) with a handle (2), provided, at the front terminal, with a tapering obtained with two opposite inclined and converging planes (3 and 4), so as to transform the cylindric structure of said body into a laminar shape that has a first curve (5) of about 45 DEG , and a reduced terminal with a second curve (6) in opposite sense, so as to form a means that can be easily inserted in the spaces between the gaskets and the cavities.
