Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a technique for applying a sealant to the threads of a fastener for providing a fluid-tight seal when threadedly engaged with a mating threaded element, as well as a device for carrying out such technique. More particularly, this invention relates to such a method and device wherein the sealant is pressed into the thread roots of the element, and differently sized elements are capable of being coated without changing applicators.
- differently sized female threaded elements having differently sized threads require complementarily sized threaded applicators, and repeated use of the same threaded applicator for the same sized elements oftentimes results in an undue buildup of sealant on the applicator threads.
- the sealant applying device is generally designated 10 in Figure 1 and comprises a rotatable base 11 mounted in some suitable manner for rotation about its central axis 12 in a clockwise direction shown by the arrows of Figures 1 and 2.
- Conventional means (not shown) are provided for rotating the base in the illustrated direction, or in a counterclockwise direction without departing from the invention.
- a pilot 13 extends outwardly from the upper surface of the base over which an internally threaded element E, such as a nut fastener, is seated.
- the pilot is sized so that its outer periphery is snugly embraced by the lowermost thread portion of element E so as to prevent any relative transverse shifting of the threaded element during the sealant applying process.
- axis 14 of the pilot will be offset relative to rotational axis 12 in either direction or will be coincident thereto.
- the base may be made of magnetic material for holding elements of ferromagnetic material thereto by magnetic attraction.
- a hollow sealant applicator 15 is mounted in any normal manner for movement along its central axis 16 in the directions illustrated by the double arrows in Figure 1.
- the applicator is connected to a supply (not shown) of sealant S via a supply tube 17 having a discharge shut-off valve 18 associated therewith for opening and closing the flow of sealant from the supply.
- a hollow passageway 19 of the applicator communicates with supply tube 17 via valve 18 and terminates in a discharge orifice 21 (Fig. 3) located in a side wall 22 of the applicator which lies at a predetermined transverse distance from central axis 16.
- Side wall 22 has a smooth and unthreaded exterior as shown.
- the sealant applicator is positioned relative to the rotatable base such that its central axis 16 lies parallel to and offset in one direction from central axis 12 with side wall 22 of the applicator in light contact engagement with the crests of internal threads T of the element to be coated (Figs. 1 and 2).
- the applicator is mounted in place for axial movement, as aforedescribed, in the direction of the double arrows of Figure 1, but is otherwise incapable of rotary movement about its central axis 16.
- Base 11 on the other hand, is mounted in place for rotation about its central axis 12, and may be further mounted for axial movement toward and away from the applicator as an alternative to the mounting of the applicator for axial movement, so long as relative axial movement between the applicator and the base is facilitated.
- either the applicator or the base is mounted for transverse movement so as to assure the necessary relative transverse positioning between these parts.
- the applicator In carrying out the sealant applying operation, the applicator will be spaced axially relative to the base a distance greater than the thickness of a threaded element E to be coated.
- a base 11 will be selected having an appropriately sized pilot 13 substantially equal to the inner thread diameter of an element E to be coated. In other words, if the central opening diameter of the element to be coated is one inch, a base 11 having a one inch pilot diameter will be selected.
- the applicator and base will then be shifted transversely relative to one another until side wall 22 is vertically aligned with the crests of threads T at a point of tangency 23 (Fig. 4).
- differently sized internally threaded elements are capable of being coated using the same applicator 15, so long as the offsetting relationship betwen axes 12 and 16 is maintained while side wall 22 touches the crests of the threads. Obviously, if this offsetting and side wall contacting relationship cannot be maintained for a particular internally threaded element, then a smaller sized applicator must be chosen.
- an element E is transferred by some suitable means and is seated on the rotatable base. If element E is of ferromagnetic material, it will be seated over pilot 13 of a magnetic base 11 so as to be held firmly in place by magnetic attraction. Otherwise, if the element to be coated is of non-ferromagnetic material it will be seated within the jaws of a chuck 29 (Fig. 5), which will be described in more detail hereinafter.
- Valve 18 remains in a closed position, and the applicator is operatively connected with an advance mechanism 24 so that, upon command, the applicator will be advanced into the threaded opening of element E seated on the base.
- sealant cut-off valve 18 is opened and sealant under pressure in line 17 flows through passage 19 and out of the elongated discharge orifice.
- valve 18 When valve 18 is opened, the means (not shown) provided for rotating the base is actuated for effecting clockwise movement relative to the stationary applicator.
- the discharged sealant under pressure is resisted by an induced force F (Fig. 4) acting in a direction aligned with the direction in which axis 16 is offset from axis 12.
- F induced force
- the discharge sealant is therefore pressed into the roots of threads. T during rotation of the base, and an edge 25 of the discharge orifice (Figs. 2 and 3) functions as a doctor blade wiping any excess sealant from the threads.
- Valve 18 is operatively connected with an adjustable timing device (not shown) which is set for maintaining the valve open for an interval permitting the sealant to flow into the threads for at least one revolution of element E.
- an adjustable timing device not shown
- shut-off valve 18 will close and the applicator will be retracted from element E upon relative movement of the applicator and base away from one another.
- the base may continue to be rotated if it is desired to smoothen the applied sealant as edge 25 of the discharge orifice wipes the threads.
- point of tangency 23 between side wall 22 and threads T traces a circular path 26 about axis 12 of the base which is eccentric relative to a circle 27 which is defined by the radial extent of side wall 22 from axis 16 of the applicator.
- a single point of tangency 23 is defined by the offsetting relationship of axes 12 and 16 so that force F is induced at only this point for effecting the pressing of discharged sealant in place without binding or interference between wall 22 and the threads which could otherwise occur if circles 26 and 27 were concentric.
- Figures 1 and 4 illustrate pilot 13 as having its central axis ly.ing between axes 12 and 16 so as to define an eccentric circle 28 relative to 26 and 27.
- the pilot depending on its diameter, can lie with its axis 14 aligned with axis 16, between axes 12 and 16, or to the left of axis 12 ( when viewing Figs. 1 and 4).
- the pilot diameter cannot be smaller than circle 27.
- a base 11 having an appropriately sized pilot will be selected and mounted in place prior to the coating operation. It can be therefore seen that, for pilot diameters larger than circle 27, point 23 of tangency will be maintained for the same relatively sized applicator with a force F induced for the purpose and in the manner aforedescribed.
- the base may be formed as a chuck 29 for snugly embracing element E, shown in Figure 5.
- pilot 13 is eliminated, although axes 12 and 16 are offset for inducing a side load force F at a point of tangency 23 similarly as described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.
- the chuck jaws holding element E vary in size for different chucks to accommodate differently sized elements to be coated.
- an applicator of the present type is that it better accommodates the preferred type of sealant which is in the form of an anaerobic adhesive enclosed with a mass of tiny crushable capsules in a viscous liquid carrier.
- sealant which is in the form of an anaerobic adhesive enclosed with a mass of tiny crushable capsules in a viscous liquid carrier.
