PATENTS April 2014 Sealing Technology 15 sealing system also comprises at least one ven- tilator which guides air through the air chan- nel. This sealing system enables sufficient air to be exchanged even when the door is closed. Patent number: WO/2013/171075 Inventor: A. Dintheer Publication date: 21 November 2013 Pipe seal Applicant: Trelleborg Pipe Seals Lelystad Bv, The Netherlands This invention relates to seals for sealing a joint between a first pipe and a second pipe. The seal comprises a carrier member (12) and a sealing member (14), which is attached to the carrier member (12). The latter con- sists of at least one retaining insert (24), with an inner portion (52) for gripping the second pipe, whilst the retaining insert (24) comprises an outer portion (54) for gripping the first pipe. Patent number: WO/2013/171223 Inventor: B. Lopez-Chaves Publication date: 21 November 2013 This invention – detailed by patent WO/2013/171223 – relates to a seal for sealing a bell-and-spigot joint between two pipes. Sheet-shaped seal member Applicant: Sekisui Chemical Co Ltd, Japan This patent provides details of a sheet-shaped seal member that exhibits superior impact absorption, sealing properties, heat/cold resistance and light resistance – even when it is thin. The seal is made from a silicone resin, and a plurality of particles that are dispersed in the resin, each of which contains a cavity. The sheet-shaped seal member may have a thickness of 0.05–4 mm, and the particles may be made from thermally expanded foam. Patent number: WO/2013/176179 Inventors: M. Gotoh, K. Nakamura and Y. Nakata Publication date: 28 November 2013 Cable sealing arrangement for a connector Applicant: ADC Telecommunications Inc, USA This disclosure relates to a system for sealing a cable-entrance-end of a connector. The system described has a sealing member that defines an inner passage for receiving a cable. It also includes a front-end that is adapted to form a seal against the cable-entrance-end of the connector. In addition, the system includes a seal compression housing for containing and deforming the sealing member. This hous- ing includes a first component that mounts to the cable-entrance-end of the connector and a second component that attaches to the first housing component. When these hous- ing components are attached to each other the sealing member is pressed against the cable-entrance-end and is also pressed around a perimeter of the cable received within the inner passage. Patent number: WO/2013/177014 Inventors: P. Rudenick and T. Marcouiller Publication date: 28 November 2013 Seal-curing device and method Applicant: Shenzhen China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co Ltd, China Disclosed is a seal-curing device that com- prises an ultraviolet (UV) light source and a light-guide component. UV light emitted by the light source enters the light-guide component. The latter contains a plural- ity of “light outlets”. After the UV light is reflected in the light-guide component it is emitted from the outlets, which correspond to specific parts of the seal that are to be irradiated. Also discussed is a seal-curing method. According to the inventors, the sealing-curing device and associated method according to embodiments of this invention have the advantages that the light source uti- lisation ratio is improved and manufacturing costs are reduced. Patent number: WO/2013/174034 Inventors: S. Yu, S. Xiao and Y. Wang Publication date: 28 November 2013 Method for forming a large- diameter thermoplastic seal Applicant: Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corp, USA A structure for and method of producing large-diameter seal rings forms the subject of this patent. Preferred embodiments of this invention make use of a co-extruded “sup- port” layer of a polymer that displays bet- ter weld quality and strength. The use of a co-extruded support polymer, bonded to the functional polymer, can be used to improve the strength of the entire weld, including the weld associated with functional polymer layer, claim the inventors. Patent number: WO/2013/177403 Inventors: Y. Liu and R. Singh Publication date: 28 November 2013 Snap-in fastener with sealing flange Applicant: Illinois Tool Works Inc, USA An improved fastener is described by this pat- ent. It has an annular sealing flange located above a lead-in base-clip portion, adapted for insertion into an acceptance opening in a panel or other structure. A heat-shrunk seal is disposed about the perimeter of the annular sealing flange, partially covering the upper and lower surfaces of the flange in order to provide enhanced sealing action between the flange and panel.
