ATTORNEYS AGENT June 11, 1963 c. F. FEDERICO FLANGE SEAL 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed July 6, 1961 INVENTOR GHfiLES i? FEDER/GO ATTNEYS AGENT United States Patent 3,093,223 FLANGE SEAL Charles F. Federico, Dorchester, Mass., assignor, by mesne assignments, to the United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy Filed July 6, 1961, Ser. No. 122,363 3 Claims. (Cl. 189--36) The present invention relates to longitudinal flange type joints and more particularly to longitudinal flange type joints having a pair of abutting half-casings.
In the field of longitudinal flange joints, it has been the general practice to provide a pair of abutting flat faced flanges with a plurality of holes bored therethrough. Bolt-s were inserted through these holes and secured with nuts to hold the upper and lower halves of the casing together. It can readily be seen that such an arrangement would be very time consuming when it became necessary to open the casing for any reason whether it be for inspection, maintenance, or replacement purposes. Another disadvantage of prior art joints was the tendency of leakage to occur when the internal portion of the casing was subjected to high pressures. As can be expected, the leakage most frequently occurred along the seam of the joint where the upper and lower portions of the casing were fastened together.
The general purpose of this invention is to provide an improved longitudinal flange joint which provides a better seal between said flanges, is capable of being more readily released and possesses none of the aforedescribed disadvantages of the prior art. To attain this, the present invention contemplates a unique flange and track arrangement which cooperate with a rigid belt whereby the above recited improvements are obtained.
It is to be kept in mind that the instant invention has application in a variety of environments. The inventive concept of the present invention resides in the provision of a plurality of sections that are subject to internal pressure and it is desired to clamp said sections together and also provide a sealing means therebetween.
An object of the present invention is the provision of a flange joint which is easy to manufacture and require less parts than previously useddevices.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a joint that makes possible a reduction in the size of the flanges.
A further object of the present invention is the provision of a device wherein the pressure point of the flange is more evenly distributed over a greater area of flange.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a joint which has an improved seal therebetween and the pressure point of the flanges is brought closer to the casing wall.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 shows a preferred perspective view of a typical assembly employing the instant invention with the rigid belt removed to more clearly illustrate the tracks and flanges of said joint.
FIG. 2 illustrates an enlarged elevation view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 with the rigid belt in its secured position.
FIG. 3 shows a section of the device taken on the line 3-3 of FIG. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.
FIG. 4 shows a section of the device taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown in FIG. 1, which 3,093,223 Patented June 11, 1963 illustrates a preferred embodiment, a cylindrical member 1 having an upper section 2 and a lower section 3. In this view the rigid securing belt *11 is removed so as to permit a better view of the flanges 6 and their associated tracks 4 and 5.
The wedge shaped tracks 4 and 5 are not a continuous track, but merely a plurality of tracks which are equally spaced along the length of the longitudinal joint 7. Tracks 4 and 5 are fixedly secured to the upper and lower sections, 2 and 3, respectively, by welding, brazing or any other suitable means of attachment. In positioning tracks 4 and 5' care must be taken to insure that the upper tracks 4 and lower tracks 5 are in proper alignment with each other.
Wedge shaped tracks 4 and 5 are spaced a predetermined distance from flanges 6 so as to provide a channel therebetween, said channels being indicated by numeral 9 in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
FIG. 2, is an enlarged plan view of the apparatus with rigid belt 1 1 in mating contact with abutting flanges 6. As can readily be seen, rigid belt '11 is provided with a plurality of tabs or ears 12. Bars 12 are spaced at various points along the length of belt 11 and receive bolts 13 for fixedly securing belt 11 in position over mating flanges 6.
FIG. 3, which is a sectional view taken along lines 33 of FIG. 2, clearly shows the manner in which belt 11 is received in channels 9 engaging tracks 4, 5 and flanges 6 to securely fasten the upper and lower sections, 2 and 3, respectively, together. It is to be noted that although only one longitudinal joint is discussed, there is, in fact an identical joint located from the longitudinal joint 7, as shown in FIG. 1. It is merely for purposes of simplicity and an attempt to eliminate repetition that only one such longitudinal point 7 is discussed.
As shown in FIG. 3, each section, 2 and 3, is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced wedge shaped tracks 4 and 5, respectively. In addition, each section 2 and 3, is provided with a flange 6. Flanges 6 are provided with a straight portion 14 that is spaced opposite the inward face .8 of the wedge tracks 4 and 5. The outer end 15 of flange 6 has a tapered portion 19 at an angle which is opposite to the taper on the inward face 8 of wedge shaped tracks 4 and 5.
It is to be noted that the flanges 6 extend the fulll length of longitudinal joint 7. The mating faces 16 of flanges 6 are serrated at 17 to provide a better seal by presenting a more tortuous path for escaping gases. Serrated portion 17 in sections 2 and 3 will also be of assistance when positioning rigid belt 11 over the mated flanges 6. In this regard, serrations 17 will serve to align and stabilize sections 2 and 3 relative to each other.
Rigid belt 11, in cross-section, consists of a substantially U-sh-aped member having a pair of legs 10. Legs 10 are tapered at 18 and 19 to conform to tapered portions 8 and 15 of tracks 4, 5 and flanges 6, respectively. In addition, legs 10 of rigid belt 11 are also provided with fiat portions 21 that are aligned with straight portion 14 of flanges 6 and mates therewith.
FIG. 4, which is a sectional view taken along lines 4-4 of FIG. 2, clearly shows the construction of rigid belt 11 as it appears when bolts '13 are inserted through ears 12 to fasten belt 11 to upper and lower sections, 2 and 3, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 4, sections 2 and 3 are provided with bosses 22 that are cast integral with the respective sections. It is also possible to have bosses 22 welded in position on the casting, as an alternative means of attachment. Bosses 22 are located intermediate adjacent sections of tracks 4 and 5 and are provided with tapped bores 26 to receive bolts 13. In these areas, where bosses 22 are located, the inner face 23 of bosses 22 are provided with an inwardly directed taper which has the same slope as the taper on inward face 8 of wedge tracks 4 and 5.
As an alternative construction, bores 24 in cars 12 may be countersunk so as to permit bolt heads 25 to be flush with belt top 20 thereby reducing the area required by the protruding bolt heads 25.
In an effort to more clearly define the instant invention, it is thought that a review of the manner in which the invention operates would be helpful, such as the following:
Taking :up on bolts 13 exerts an inward force on the belt 11 and draws it inwardly toward channels 9. As the belt 11 continues to move inwardly, taper portion 181 of belt 11 engages the taper on inward face 8 of wedge tracks 4, 5 and also the taper portion of inner face 23 on bosses 22 when belt 11 comes into contact with a boss 22. The flat portion 21 of belt 11 engages straight portion 14 of flanges 6, also, tapered portion 19 of belt 11 engages the tapered portion 15 of flange 6. As the bolts 13 are further tightened and rigid belt '11 continues to move inwardly the double wedging action produces a clamping and sealing action that is more effective than heretofore attained.
It is to be noted that the present invention possesses many ancillary features a few of which are: elimination of approximately 80 percent of the bolts previously required on a joint of equal length. In addition, the present invention possesses the unique feature of being a quickrelease joint thus saving a considerable amount of time and money that is normally expended when inspecting, replacing or repairing the contents of the section's.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
