Definitions
- the present invention is directed to vents, methods of fabricating vents and devices employing vents. More particularly, the present invention is related to vents which prohibit passage of liquids therethrough and allow passage of gases, wherein the vents arc of particular interest with respect to venting containers having fluids therein which are hazardous.
- plutonium in aqueous hydrochloric acid or nitric acid solutions is plutonium in aqueous hydrochloric acid or nitric acid solutions.
- aqueous hydrochloric acid or nitric acid solutions As pipes and tanks containing these solutions are drained, they are generally drained into 1 gallon, high density, polyethylene bottles with polypropylene caps for interim storage until permanent solidification or immobilization may be conducted.
- the solutions contain as much as 140 g/1 of plutonium which has the radiolytic effect of generating hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas in the bottles accelerates embrittlement of the bottles which, over time, can lead to failure of the bottles. Since plutonium is considered to be highly carcinogenic, leakage of plutonium into the environment surrounding the bottles poses a danger which must be avoided.
- GOR-TEX* is impervious to liquids but pervious to gases. It has proven difficult to select an adhesive for securing the GOR-TEX* material to the caps because many adhesives tend to degrade in the presence of aqueous hydrochloric and nitric acid solutions containing plutonium.
- vents which are gas permeable and liquid impermeable; to provide a new and improved method of making such vents, and to provide new and improved structures utilizing the advantages of such vents.
- the present invention is directed to a lamination comprising polytetrafiuoroethylene (PTFE) which is thermally bonded to a stiff, perforated substrate of resinous material.
- PTFE polytetrafiuoroethylene
- a method of making a composite structure including a perforated substrate of resinous material and a layer of polytetrafiuoroethylene (PTFE) comprises thermally bonding the layer of PTFE to the perforated substrate.
- PTFE polytetrafiuoroethylene
- the perforated substrate is porous and, in still a further aspect of the invention, the perforated substrate has discrete passages therethrough.
- the vent is fabricated in a closure wherein the closure is a bottle cap or where the enclosure is an assembly for venting flexible containers such as bags.
- a vent configured in accordance with the principles of the present invention is used housings, such as the housings for battery cover electrical transformers to vent potentially explosive gases from the housings.

- Figure 14 is a bottom view looking inside of a small cap comprising another embodiment of a cap in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 15 is a side elevation of the cap of Figure 14.
- a substrate 20 of a polymer material such as polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene, fiber glass reinforced polyethylene or other polymer materials.
- the substrate 20 is perforated by at least one discrete through hole 22 or by an array 24 of discrete through holes.
- the perforated substrate 20 is in the form of a stiff porous structure without discrete through holes, wherein fluids can migrate from a first side 26 to a second side 28 of the stiff substrate.
- the substrate 20 is stiff as opposed to flexible and the polymer material is a unitary mass rather than a stranded fabric, the substrate 20 preferably having the configuration of a plate.
- GOR-TEX* membranes are available from G.L. Gore and Associate, Inc., Elkton, MD., and are discussed in U.S. Patent 5,264,276, issued November 23, 1993, incorporated herein by reference.
- the bottle cap 40 is made up of a relatively stiff polymer material such as polypropylene and includes top 42 and a cylindrical rim 44 having threads 46 for tight engagement with the neck of a bottle.
- the top 42 has an array 47 of discrete holes 48 therethrough.
- Heat bonded to the inner surface 49 of the top 42 is a GOR-TEX* membrane 52 and surrounding the GOR-TEX* membrane 52 is an annular lip 54.
- the cap 40 is threaded onto the neck 56 of a polyethylene container 58 which contains material therein in the liquid phase 34 and the gas phase 33.
- the GOR-TEX* membrane 52 allows the gas phase 33 to vent or leave the container 58 while preventing the liquid phase 34 from leaving the container. Moreover, the GOR-TEX* membrane 52 prevents liquid from outside the container 58 from entering the container while allowing the relatively free exchange of air, or another surrounding gas, into and out of the container 58.
- vent configuration 70 has the general configuration of the vent assembly disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,957,518, issued September 18, 1990, and incorporated herein by reference.
- Vent assembly 70 is used to vent a bag 72 which contains radioactive waste materials or other hazardous waste materials.
- the vent assembly generally comprises a stiff but resilient base 74 having discrete holes 75 therein and a stiff but resilient cover 76 having discrete holes 77 therein.
- the cover 76 snaps into engagement with a rim on the walls of a chamber 78 containing a disk 79 of filter materials such as carbon-carbon filter material.
- a GOR-TEX* membrane 80 is interposed between the interior 81 of the bag 72 and the surrounding environment 82.
- the GOR-TEX* membrane 80 is heat bonded to the bottom surface 83 of the cap 76 to cover the discrete holes 77.
- a GOR-TEX* membrane 97 is bonded to the base 74 between the filter element 79 and the base.
- a GOR-TEX* membrane 90 is thermally bonded to the bottom surface 92 of the base 74.
- the GOR-TEX* membrane 94 is thermally bonded to the upper surface 96 of the cover 76 in order to overlie the discrete through holes 77.
- the GOR-TEX* membranes 80, 90 and 94 may all be employed, only the membranes 90 and 92 may be used or just the membranes 80 and 94 may be used.
- an advantage of having at least one of the membranes 80, 90 and 94 thermally bonded to the base 74 or cover 76 is that the membranes are bonded in areas 98 between the discrete through holes 75 or areas 99 between the through holes 77. Such bonding over the entire interface substantially enhances the mechanical strength of the vent assembly. This is accomplished without depositing an adhesive in the areas 98 and 99 between the discrete through holes 77 and 75 which adhesive might interfere with or cover the openings of the holes.
- FIG 10 there is shown another embodiment of the invention, wherein a battery cover transformer housing 100 of a polypropylene
- -saierjal reinforced with fiberglass has a perforated area 102 with discrete holes 104 therethrough, which perforated area is covered by a GOR-TEX* membrane 106 that is thermally bonded to the perforated area. Accordingly, excessive pressure buildup within the transformer housing 100 due to generation of dangerous gases 108 is avoided while retaining dielectric liquid 110 within the transformer housing.
- FIG. 11-13 there is shown a preferred method of heat bonding a GOR-TEX* membrane 200 to the inside surface 202 of the top 204 of a screw-on cap 206 in order to cover perforations 208.
- the inside surface 202 of the cap top 204 includes a first rib 209.
- the first rib 209 is surrounded by a second rib 210 which creates an annular channel 212 around the perforations 208.
- the perforations 208 are in a raised area 214 of the top 204 so that there is a slight air gap 216 between the GOR-TEX* layer 200 and the inside surface 218 of the top 204 of the cap.
- the GOR-TEX* layer 200 has a peripheral portion 220 which is secured in the annular trough 210 by heal staking with an iron 225 (Figs. 11 and 12).
- the iron 225 Figs. 11 and 12.
- 225 includes a head 228 that has a projecting rim 230 with an annular edge 232 which corresponds in diameter to the annular trough 210.
- annular edge 232 of the heated head 228 when the annular edge 232 of the heated head 228 is pressed against the peripheral portion 220 of the GOR-TEX* layer 200, it fuses with the polypropylene to form a unitary, sealed seam which is impenetrable by liquid or vapor.
- a perforated cover 250 with perforations 252 therethrough is then snap-fitted over the GOR-TEX* layer 200 to protect the GOR-TEX* layer and to prevent touching of the GOR-TEX* layer by fingers which could damage the layer or deposit oil or some other contaminant on the layer.
- the perforated cover 250 has an annular side flange 254 which snaps beneath an annular shoulder 256 which is unitary with the top 204 of the cover.
- FIG. 14 and 15 there is shown a smaller diameter version 206' of the cap 206 of Figures 11-13.
- similar primed reference numerals identify structure similar to the structure in Figures 11-13.
- the important similar feature is the GOR-TEX* membrane 200' that is thermally bonded in the circular channel 210 by the annular head 230 of an iron 225.
- a cover such as the cover 250 is not employed because the cap is relatively small. It is, however, within the scope of this invention to utilize a perforated cover, such as the perforated cover 250, shown in Figure 13. Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following preferred specific embodiment is, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever.
- the membranes are mounted in pressure equalization caps which provides gas diffusion, yet retain liquids in the bottles in the event that the bottles capsize.
- the GOR-TEX* membranes are thermally bonded to the inside of the cap in accordance with the present invention and provide caps which are physically durable and chemically resistant to the severe acid conditions of the liquid waste in the bottles.
- GOR-TEX* membranes thermally sealed to the polypropylene caps tolerate acidic vapors and withstand liquid head pressure of about 0.92 psi after 40 days of exposure to the acids within the bottles.
- the pressure equalization vents comprised of GOR-TEX* thermally bonded to the interior of polyurethane caps on polyethylene bottles containing plutonium in acid solutions increases the use for life of the bottles.
- the GOR-TEX* membranes which are permeable to gases, yet impermeable to liquids, allow hydrogen to diffuse at a rate well above the TRUPACT- ⁇ minimum requirement of 1.9 E-6 mole/mol frac sec.
- GOR-TEX* pressure equalization vents thermally bonded to the caps, assure ambient pressure within the polyethylene bottles.
