| 20080252020 | RING SEAL WITH AXIALLY-OPPOSED RADIALLY-OFFSET SEAL BEADS - A ring seal includes a sealing ring including an asymmetric body portion having axially-opposed and radially-offset seal beads. The ring seal may also include a reinforcement ring carried at least partially in the sealing ring to distribute load across the seal beads. The ring seal may further include a skirt depending generally axially from the body portion and defining an inner diameter of the sealing ring and preferably having frusto-conical cross-sectional shape. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080265528 | SUPPORTED HOLLOW SEAL - A hollow seal for use in sealing between relatively movable first and second panels, such as between a fixed window panel and a slidable window panel of a rear window of a pick-up truck or the like. The hollow seal has an internal geometry that supports an outside layer or portion of the seal under pressurization to prevent leakage and seal blowout. The outside portion is shaped to provide a pair of laterally spaced-apart sealing lips that have a pressure-activated sealing geometry for tight sealing against the panels when under pressurization. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20090139606 | CONTOURED DOOR WITH SEAL - A compact closure assembly for a capless filler tube for a fuel tank includes a housing having a passageway extending therethough for receiving a fuel filler nozzle, and a door moveable from a first position sealing the passageway to a second position permitting insertion of the fuel filler nozzle into the passageway. The door is contoured such that when in the second position, the outer surface of the door is generally concentric with a wall of the housing about a longitudinal axis of the passageway. Accordingly, much of the additional space found in conventional closure assemblies that is needed for accommodating the flat door in the open position can be eliminated. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100019455 | COMPOSITE FUEL PERMEATION BARRIER SEAL - Composite seal or gasket for inhibiting the release of a volatile organic compound such as fuel. The seal includes a deformable portion interconnected to a vapor barrier portion via a mechanical or adhesive interlocking connection. The deformable portion can be formed from an elastomeric material. The vapor barrier portion can be formed from a wide variety of materials that inhibit permeation of the organic vapor. Examples of the materials for the vapor barrier include ductile metals, plastic polymers, and fluoroplastic polymers. The gaskets and seals can be, but are not restricted to be, used between the connections of the components in an automotive or consumer product fuel system. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100084827 | SELF-RETAINING SEAL FOR UNDERCUT GROOVE - Seal ring or other construction for providing a fluid seal intermediate a pair of opposing surfaces. The seal includes a body formed of a resilient material which is configured as having a series of projections which extend radially outwardly from lateral surfaces thereof such that the seal is self-retaining in a dovetail or other undercut groove. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100326737 | FLEXIBLE EXTRUSION RESISTANT RING FOR SEAL ASSEMBLY - An extrusion resistant ring that is radially expandable and contactable to accommodate the relative movement of two joined bodies relative to each other. The extrusion resistant ring in combination with an elastomeric diaphragm provides a high pressure seal for down-hole oil drilling apparatus. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110031705 | ARTICULATING SEAL - A known gland | 02-10-2011 |
