SEALING RING [11 records]

Record 1 2026-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Submarines (Naval Forces)
  • Torpedoes
DEF

A domed steel door at the outer end of a torpedo tube located in the bow of a submarine.

CONT

Bow caps... This is a circular steel door with a... sealing ring held in a groove in its inner face by a retaining ring and set bolts. The sealing ring bears against the lip-end when the bow-cap is shut.

CONT

The outer end of the [torpedo] tube is sealed with a domed bow cap. Bow shutters close across the bow caps to preserve the streamlined shape of the bow when the cap is closed. The bow caps and shutters are mechanically linked to a hydraulically operated drive rod from within the torpedo compartment. The bow cap opens first behind the shutter, which then folds back against it forming a smooth exit tube.

OBS

A door usually found in an Oberon-class submarine.

Record 5 2010-05-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Opening and Closing Devices (Packaging)
CONT

The roll-on closure is used in the food, carbonated beverage, and pharmaceutical markets where pressure sealing is required... A widely used version today is the tamper-evident roll-on [closure]. A tear band perforated along the bottom of the closure skirt is tucked under a locking ring during capping by a special roller. When opened by the consumer, the band separates from the closure to provide visible evidence of tampering.

OBS

roll-on cap: A type of closure made usually of metal, for application to threads on the outside surface of the neck of glass containers. Supplied as an unthreaded cap that is placed over the sealing area of the container. Then, under controlled top-pressure, the skirt is pressed against the threads by a rotating head equipped with rollers that press the metal with sufficient force to make it conform to the finish on the container, thus forming threads on the cap or closure.

OBS

Although the terms "closure" and "cap" may be seen as different when standing alone, we think they should be recognized as synonyms when properly qualified.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Modes d'ouverture et de fermeture (Emball.)
DEF

[...] capsule lisse qui comporte à la partie basse de la jupe une bande séparée de la partie supérieure par une ligne de perforation. Le sertissage forme la capsule en lui faisant épouser le filetage du goulot et rabat la partie inférieure sous la bague. À l'ouverture, seule la partie supérieure se dévisse tandis que la bande de garantie inférieure se détache.

CONT

En raison de leurs divers avantages les capsules du type «Pilferproof» ont des utilisations aussi diverses que les spiritueux, les huiles moteur ou les préparations pharmaceutiques.

OBS

On trouvera la notion «capsule pression à vis» dans la «Nouvelle encyclopédie internationale du conditionnement des liquides», tome 2, page 499.

  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
OBS

To increase the sealing efficiency of non-rubbing seals, the shaft can be fitted with rotating discs(h) and in case of oil lubrication, flinger rings(i) are often used. The oil flung from the ring is collected in a channel in the housing wall and returned to the sump through suitable ducts.
