Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for packaging a seal
- a seal is interposed between two elements and ensures fluidic continuity between two ducts each formed in one of the elements.
- the seal comprises an opening corresponding to the ducts and a sealing surface capable of being interposed between the elements to be sealed in order to ensure the seal between the two elements and between the ducts and the outside.
- the seal may comprise at the sealing surface passage holes for clamping elements provided to maintain the two elements to be sealed against each other.
- the invention relates more particularly to metal seals such as metal seals sealing between the various elements constituting the exhaust line extending from the engine block to the outlet of the exhaust gas.
- This type of seal generally comprises one or more metal sheets with or without suitable shapes to strengthen the seal.
- this type of seal may comprise a coating, for example elastomer, at at least one face forming the sealing surface. To maintain its effectiveness, this elastomeric coating must not be damaged until the seal is inserted between the two parts to be sealed.
- this type of seal is manufactured and placed in a so-called initial packaging at a first site, then is conveyed to another site, for example a collector manufacturing site, at which the seal is released. from its initial conditioning to be mounted on a subassembly, for example a collector, the assembly then being conveyed to a third site at which the subset is integrated in a larger assembly, for example at which the collector is fixed on the engine.
- the initial packaging is generally a sheet of cardboard on which the seal is held with a plastic film.
- This type of packaging makes it possible to correctly protect one of the faces, the one facing the carton. However, that covered by the plastic film is not properly protected, especially if it comprises a fragile elastomer coating.
- the seal is removed from its initial packaging to be placed on a collector for example. During this operation the seal is not protected and can be damaged. Furthermore, this type of packaging leads to produce waste (cardboard, plastic film) at the second site that should be treated.
- the seal placed on the manifold must maintain its position until the collector is placed on the engine. Furthermore, it must be ensured that no foreign body enters the manifold. For this purpose, the collector and the seal are wrapped in a plastic film. This mode of packaging is unsatisfactory because on the one hand the plastic film does not properly protect the seal, and secondly, it does not ensure maintenance in effective position of the seal on the manifold.
- the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a device for packaging a seal, of simple design, providing satisfactory protection of the seal until its final installation, and facilitating its handling and its set up.
- the subject of the invention is a device for conditioning a seal, characterized in that it comprises a protective surface, adapted to the shape of the seal, with on one of its faces at least one element protrusion at the level which is likely to immobilize by wedging or clipping a portion of the seal.
- FIG 3 there is shown at 10 an example of a seal.
- the latter comprises a substantially flat sealing surface at which is provided at least one opening 12 capable of cooperating with the conduits or cavities of the elements to be sealed.
- the seal 10 comprises at the sealing surface of the holes 14 to allow the passage of clamping elements.
- the opening 12 is substantially circular and the periphery of the sealing surface is substantially circular and concentric to the opening with ears 16 to the right of the passage holes 14.
- the seal comprises one or more sheets , metal or not, at least one side may be coated with a coating, in particular elastomer to improve the seal.
- This type of seal 10 may be interposed between a motor unit and a collector.
- the seal 10 may have no through holes, ie the seal may be in the form of a ring or a washer. In other cases, it may comprise other orifices for other functions, for example orifices for cooling fluids in the case of a head gasket. Similarly, the periphery of the joint can be more or less complex. To ensure its maintenance at a subassembly, such as for example a manifold, the seal 10 comprises at least one through hole 14 holding means 18 in the form of pins to reduce slightly the diameter of the passage hole.
- FIGS. 1A to 1D, 2A, 2B, 4A, 4B there is shown at 20 a device for packaging a seal 10 according to the invention.
- This device comprises a protective surface 22, adapted to the shape of the seal 10, with on one of its faces at least one projecting element 24 at the level of which is likely to immobilize by wedging or clipping the seal at the opening 12 or at least one of the openings 12 of the seal 10.
- the projecting element 24 could immobilize by wedging or clipping any other part of the seal, for example its outer edge.
- the protective surface 22 is substantially flat and said at least one projecting element 24 is in the form of a rib formed at the level of the protective surface, said rib having a U-shaped section.
- the rib 24, substantially circular has an outside diameter slightly smaller than that of the opening 12 of the seal and comprises at least one protrusion 26 at the periphery to allow the seal to be held by jamming at the opening 12 This solution makes it possible to limit the areas of contact between the seal and the rib 24.
- the rib 24 comprises at least two excrescences 26 diametrically opposed, the distance D between the ends of the protuberances 26 being slightly greater than the diameter of the opening 12 of the seal 10.
- the rib 24 comprises four protuberances 26 as shown in Figure 2B.
- the protective surface 22 may cover the entire surface of the seal or only a portion of the seal corresponding to the sensitive areas of the seal to be protected.
- the protective device 10 comprises gripping means 28.
- the gripping means 28 are in the form of a boss formed at one of the faces of the protective surface 22, the opposite of the element 24 in known.
- the boss 28 is hollow and has an oblong shape, the protuberances 26 provided at the rib being provided in line with substantially straight portions of the oblong shape, on either side of the oblong shape.
- the shapes of the hollow boss 28 and the projecting element 24 are adapted to allow the user by pressing the hollow boss to slightly deform the element 24 protruding to release the seal 10, as shown in Figures 1D and 7 .
- the packaging device is made of plastic material and obtained by thermoforming.
- plastic material obtained by thermoforming.
- other materials and other embodiments could be considered.
- the packaging device 20 comprises means for temporarily securing it to a subset 30, for example a collector.
- the projecting element 24 may be used to maintain the packaging device by jamming or clipping the protruding element at the end of the duct of the subassembly 30 capable of cooperating with the opening 12 of the seal.
- lugs 32 may be provided at the periphery of the protective surface 22, so as to cover the peripheral surface 34 of the terminal portion of the subassembly 30, the spacing between the diametrically opposite lugs 32 being less than the subassembly size 30.
- the tabs 32 extend substantially perpendicular to the protective surface 22, in the same direction as the rib 24. The tabs 32 are deformable to pinch sufficiently the sub together 30 in the rest position and maintain the packaging device on the subassembly. The deformable legs 32 allow however, the removal of the conditioning device from the subassembly 30, as illustrated in FIG. 7.
- a peripheral edge extends all along the perimeter of the protective surface 22 substantially perpendicularly to said surface so as to define a bell-shaped cavity inside which the gasket 10 is disposed.
- the peripheral edge comprises cutouts so as to form tabs 32 between the cuts,
- the protective surface 22 disengages the through holes 14. These clearances 36 extend at the peripheral edge so as to delimit tabs 32.
- the protective surface 22 may play the shutter function of the orifices of the subassembly 30 on which the device is attached.
- the protective surface 22 has dimensions and shapes adapted to form a shutter for at least one opening formed at the subassembly 30 when the device is placed on said subassembly. This arrangement makes it possible to prevent the intrusion of foreign elements into the duct of the subassembly capable of cooperating with the opening of the gasket.
- the holding means 18 capable of being provided at at least one through hole make it possible to reinforce the maintenance of the seal 10 on the subassembly 30 and also of the packaging device.
- the tabs 32 have a height greater than that of the projecting element 24 so as to allow the stacking of the packaging devices with each a seal, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the free end 40 of the peripheral edge or tabs 32 of the packaging device is curved or flared to promote stacking and maintain the stacked conditioning devices.
- the use of the packaging device according to the invention is relatively simple.
- a seal 10 is placed in a packaging device 20, the seal 10 being held by wedging at the level of the projecting element 22.
- the seal is perfectly protected by the packaging device.
- each with a seal is stacked on each other as shown in Figure 5.
- the free edge 40 curved lugs 32 promotes stacking.
- each seal is protected by the conditioning device to which it is connected and the conditioning device placed just below.
- the packaging device facilitates the establishment of the seal on the subassembly because the shapes of the tabs 32 flared or bent favor the centering of the seal.
- the conditioning device makes it possible to seal the duct of the subassembly 30 and prevents the intrusion of foreign bodies.
- the seal is protected from its manufacture until its establishment between the elements to be sealed. He is never manipulated alone.
- the packaging device according to the invention is reusable which tends to reduce waste.
- the invention is obviously not limited to the embodiment shown and described above, but covers all variants, particularly with regard to the shapes, nature and dimensions of the seal, which can for example be a cylinder head gasket.
- the packaging device of the invention can have different shapes, dimensions, can be obtained by different techniques and can be made from different materials.
