Seal And Retainer For A Fluid Connection

US Patent:
7364166, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
Jan 24, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/350422
Inventors:
John Arthur Yoakam - North Ridgeville OH, US
Richard Alan Quayle - Sheffield Lake OH, US
Dennis Floyd Quayle - Elyria OH, US
Assignee:
Applied Engineered Surfaces, Inc. - Elyria OH
International Classification:
F16L 19/00
US Classification:
277616, 277608, 277609, 277626, 277637, 277917, 285379
Abstract:
A seal/retainer unit () comprising an annular sealing gasket () and a plurality of retaining legs () extending generally perpendicularly therefrom. The sealing gasket () and the retaining legs () are formed in one piece (e. g. , stamped) from a sealing material and dimensioned to allow nesting of a plurality of seal/retainer units () in a stacked arrangement. The retaining legs () may each include a rounded distal edge () to minimize package-tearing and interpart-marking and/or a break-off notch () to allow special customization. A radiused corner () between the gasket () and the legs () assures a gap between nested parts.
