Definitions

• This invention relates to an improved one-piece flexible seal for overpressure vent structure used to protect a confined space that meets regulated hygienic standards.
• the vent structure has a vent aperture for relief of high predetermined overpressure conditions.
• the pressure relieving apparatus has frame structure that supports a vent membrane unit provided with a series of slots defining a relief area of the vent membrane unit.
• the seal is adapted to be positioned between a frame member of the frame structure and a peripheral portion of the vent membrane unit.
• a single seal performs the dual function of preventing leakage of fluid between the frame member and the vent membrane unit while maintaining an effective seal during positive and negative pressure cycling of the vent membrane unit during use of the vent structure.
• Explosion vents traditionally have been provided with a rupturable sheet of metal that has interrupted slots presenting a line of weakness defining the outline of the relief area of the vent.
• the amount of overpressure required to open the relief are of the vent is determined by, among other things, the type, thickness, and physical properties of the metal selected for fabrication of the explosion vent, the nature of the line of weakness, and the location of the line of weakness in the overall area of the vent.
• the thickness of the metal vent material is limited in certain instances by regulatory standards to no more than about 0.060 in.
• a thin layer of a thermoplastic polymeric material such as fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), or an equivalent, such as PTFE or PFA, is provided in association with the metal material to cover the slots forming the line of weakness.
• FEP fluorinated ethylene propylene
• the vent apparatus is mounted in an operative upright position in the sidewall of processing apparatus or components thereof that are being protected from an overpressure condition. Accordingly, removal of particulate material that may collect along the lower edge of generally rectangular vent apparatus between a flexible seal and the lowermost frame member of the vent apparatus is especially difficult.
• the seal employed is of typical transverse P-shape having a tubular segment that is unitary with a flat dependent skirt. Elongated seals of the P type are placed between a peripheral edge of the vent membrane and an opposed frame member of the vent apparatus frame structure, with the tubular segment being compressed between the vent and the frame member, while the skirt portion provides additional sealing surface between the process and the surrounding atmosphere.
• Particulate material and the like generated by the process collects in the peripheral crevice formed between the vent membrane and the tubular portions of the P seal.
• a disproportionate portion of residual processing particulate material tends to collect in the lowermost horizontal crevice between the tubular P seal and the vent membrane unit and the adjacent upright corners of the P seal, than is the case of the remaining crevice between the P seal and the support frame structure.
• This invention relates to an improved seal for conventional hygienic overpressure- relieving apparatus having frame structure supporting the edge portion of a vent membrane unit operable to relieve a predetermined overpressure condition.
• a typical vent membrane unit has a series of line of weakness-defining slots adjacent the frame defining the outline of a relief area of the vent membrane unit.
• the seal is adapted to be positioned between the vent membrane unit and a surface of the frame structure in sealing relationship thereto.
• the seal comprises an elongated, flexible, one-piece body of uniform configuration throughout its length and provided with a central section, a terminal end portion, and a tail portion.
• the central section of the seal is configured to be located in generally aligned relationship with the line of weakness-defining slots in the vent membrane unit when the seal is installed between the vent membrane unit and an adjacent frame structure surface.
• the terminal end portion of the seal is of substantially C shape and has an outer leg defining a main lug portion unitary with the central section of the seal body that projects therefrom in a direction to sealingly engage the vent membrane unit inwardly of the line of weakness with respect to the frame structure.
• the other leg of the C-shaped terminal end portion of the seal presents a secondary lug segment that is also unitary with the central section of the seal.
• the secondary leg segment is configured and disposed to engage the vent membrane unit outboard of the main lug portion, and inboard of the line of weakness of the vent membrane unit in the installed position of the seal.
• the area of the terminal end portion of the seal between the main lug portion and the secondary leg segment defines a longitudinally extending cavity between the main lug portion and the secondary leg segment facing the vent membrane unit.
• the C-shape of the terminal end portion of the seal and the relative position and length of the main lug portion thereof causes the main lug portion in the installed condition of the seal to flex to an extent that the tight seal between the outer edge of the main lug portion and the proximal surface of the main lug portion increases to a certain extent during inward displacement of the vent membrane unit under a vacuum existing in the protected area the structure.
• the central section of the seal body has an elongated projection situated to engage the vent membrane unit outboard of the line of weakness therein in the installed position of the seal.
• the projection and the secondary lug segment cooperate to define a second longitudinally extending cavity facing the vent unit in the installed position of the seal.
• the secondary leg segment extends toward the projection thus defining an undercut area of the secondary leg segment that faces toward the second cavity.
• the secondary leg segment of the seal when in engagement with vent membrane unit, is deformed to an extent to decrease the effective area of the secondary leg segment undercut area. Because the second cavity is generally aligned with the line of weakness slots in the vent membrane unit, when the vent membrane unit moves inwardly as the result of a vacuum condition in the protected area, an increase of air pressure in the second cavity and thereby in the undercut area occurs thereby causes the secondary lug segment to be forced into tighter sealing relationship with the vent membrane unit.
• the elongated projection on the central section of the seal also is compressed to a degree such that when in engagement with the vent membrane unit its sealing relationship with the vent membrane unit is maintained during in and out excursions of the vent membrane unit under variable pressure cycling of the overpressure relieving apparatus.
• the outermost face of the main lug of the C-shaped terminal end portion of the seal in its installed position presents a relatively smooth surface with only a narrow edge facing the process side of the overpressure relieving apparatus that would tend to collect process particles, especially the lowermost horizontal part thereof when the apparatus is disposed in a frequently used upright position. Accordingly, cleaning of the seal in an upright position of the apparatus is substantially easier and more effective and efficient than has been the case in the past when a conventional P seal has been employed.
• the seal of this invention serves as a single replacement for two separate seals required in the past - a P seal isolating the overpressure relief apparatus from the surrounding atmosphere and a flat process seal between the protected area and the overpressure relieving apparatus.

It is to be observed from Figs. 1 -4, that the frame members 22 of frame component 18, and the frame elements 26 of frame component 24 are of similar cross-sectional widths.
• the vent membrane unit 14 generally includes a pair of relatively thin metal burst panels having a series of elongated spaced slots 28 extending therethrough that cooperate to define a U-shaped line of weakness presenting a hinge area of the sheets opposite the bight portion of the line of weakness.
• a thin layer of polymeric material between the panels serves to cover the slots defining the line of weakness in vent membrane unit 14.

• the thin polymeric layer between the metal panels may, for example, be fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), or alternatively, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or equivalent polymers, having a thickness of from about 0.0125 mm to about 0.30 mm and preferably about 0.250 mm.
• FEP fluorinated ethylene propylene
• PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
• vent membrane unit 14 may be bulged outwardly to a limited degree about rectangular transition line 31, shown best in Fig. 1.
• Seal 16 that is adapted to be interposed between the surface 32 of vent membrane unit 14 and the proximal, facing surface 34 of frame element 26, as well as the adjacent surface 36 of protected area wall 20, is illustrated in its uninstalled configuration in the enlargement thereof in Fig. 6.
• Seal 16 is preferably an elongated, flexible, one-piece body 38 formed of synthetic resin polymeric material.
• Body 38 may be formed from a material such as white (clear) silicone rubber or a polyurethane polymeric material.
• the body 38, making up seal 16 is of uniform cross-sectional configuration permitting fabrication of the seal 16 by an extrusion process.
• the body 38 has a Shore A durometer value of from about 10 to about 80. and preferably about 62.
• seal 16 In order to permit use of seal 16 in sanitary processes involving hygienic processing equipment and associated structures, the seal should comply with the provisions of FDA Standard 1.4404. Frame structure 12 and the vent membrane unit 14 mounted thereon, should also meet the requirements of FDA Standard 1.4404.
• Body 38 of seal 16 has a central section 40, a terminal end portion 42, and a tail portion 44.
• the terminal end portion 42 of seal body 38 is of substantially C-shaped configuration transversely thereof having two legs, one presenting an outermost main lug portion 46 while the second leg defines a secondary lug segment 48.
• the two legs project away from each other in opposite directions.
• the area between main leg portion 46 and the secondary leg segment is of concave configuration as can be observed from Fig. 6 presenting a continuous, longitudinally extending cavity 50.
• the main lug portion 46 of central section 40 is of substantially greater length and thickness than the secondary lug segment 48.
• Central section 40 is provided with an elongated, unitary, transversely-rectangular projection 52 spaced from secondary lug segment 48.
• Projection 52 extending outwardly from central section 40, cooperates with secondary lug segment 48 to define a second longitudinally-extending, continuous cavity 54 therebetween.
• the outermost planar surface 56 of central section 40 is inboard of and therefore at a different elevation than, the outer planar surface of projection 52.
• the secondary lug segment 48 is provided with inwardly-extending surfaces 58 presenting an undercut area 60 communicating with cavity 54 and facing projection 52.
• the tail portion 44 of seal body 38 is of substantially greater length than central section 40 and cooperates with the latter to present a continuous longitudinally-extending groove 62.
• the innermost portion of groove 62 is defined by two opposed parallel surfaces 64 and 66 that are spaced from one another and located at an angle with respect to opposed outermost surfaces 68 and 70 of groove 62.
• the angularity of inner surfaces 64 and 66 with respect to outer surfaces 68 and 70, is preferably about 7°.
• the seal 16 is especially configured to be mounted between vent membrane unit 14 and the frame element 26, in disposition overlying wall 20, as best shown in Figs. 3-5.
• the groove 62 of seal 16 complementally receives frame element 26.
• the angularity of the innermost part of the groove 62 defined by opposed surfaces 64 and 66 functions as a mechanical lock to minimize possible slippage of the seal 16 with respect to the frame structure 12, and thereby contributes to retention of seal 16 in its installed position during cyclic flexing of vent membrane unit 14 in the operation of apparatus 10.
• a rectangular metallic spacer 72, between frame element 26 and vent membrane unit 14, is of a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of central section 40 of body 38 between surfaces 56 and 68.
• the main lug portion 46 Upon installation of seal 16. the main lug portion 46 is of a length and positioned to be deflected inwardly into tight sealing engagement with the inner face of vent membrane unit 14, as shown in Fig. 5.
• the secondary leg segment 48 is of a length and disposed to be deflected outwardly into tight sealing engagement with the inner face of vent membrane unit 14.
• the cavity 50 between main lug portion 46 and secondary lug segment 48 faces vent membrane unit 14. It is to be seen from Figs, 4 and 5, for example, that in the installed position of seal 16 cavity 50 is of less radius than in the uninstalled condition of seal 16, as depicted in Fig. 6.
• the secondary lug segment, which is inboard of the line of weakness- defining slots 28, is somewhat compressed, thereby reducing the size, but not eliminating, undercut area 60.
• the frame element 26 has a series of annular flanges 74 projecting away from vent membrane unit 14 that serve to receive respective threaded studs 76 carried by wall 20.
• the studs 76 extend through frame elements 26, spacers 72, and frame members 22.
• Nuts 78 on respective studs 76 releasably affix frame structure 12 with the seal 16 interposed therein, to wall 20.
• the flanges 74 are each of a length to assure that tail portion 44 of seal body 38 is in effective sealing engagement with wall 20 while precluding excessive compression of tail portion 44.
• FIG 8 is a cross-sectional depiction of prior sanitary seal structure employing a conventional P-seal 80 between vent membrane unit 14'and a frame element 26'.
• P-seal 80 typically included a tubular section 82 unitary with a flat dependent skirt portion 84.
• the tubular section 82 of P-seal 80 was disposed against an adjacent face of vent membrane unit 14', while the other surface of P-seal 80 was positioned against frame element 26'.
• a rectangular spacer 88 similar to spacer 72, was usually provided to limit the degree of compression of tubular section 82 of P-seal 80.
• seal 16 when installed in overpressure-relieving apparatus 10, has been found to provide a leak-proof seal even though the vent membrane unit undergoes cyclic in and out deformations as much as 3-4 mm.
• the pressure relief portion 14a of vent membrane unit 14 is deflected inwardly by the pressure relief portion of the vent membrane unit 14, thereby exerting pressure on the surface of main lug portion 46 and causing the main lug portion 46 to move toward the membrane unit 14 producing even tighter engagement of main lug portion 46 with the opposed inner face of vent membrane unit 14.
• projection 52 provides further compensation for cycling of the vent membrane unit to improve the leak -proof characteristics of seal 16.
• the fact that there is space on opposite sides of projection 52 allows the latter to compress and expand laterally in both directions and maintain sealing engagement with the opposed surface of vent membrane unit 14, substantially regardless of the degree of deflection of the vent membrane unit.
• the reduced thickness of central section 40 of seal body 38 on opposite sides of projection 52 allows the projection to expand in opposite directions during compression thereof. Therefore advantages of the present improved seal include:
• a single seal fulfills the function of two gaskets as in past vent structures
• the gasket spacer 26 forming a part of the frame structure 12 provides improves frame strength
• the main sealing lug portion 46 provides leak proof sealing for vent membrane unit excursions of the order 3 -4mm
• the secondary leg segment 48 of seal 16 forms a dual function - when compressed it applies more sealing force on the main lug portion 46 as the lug portion 46 and leg segment 48 move away from one another - provides optimum sealing properties for overpressure and vacuum respectively with vacuum pressure increasing the load on the leg segment 48.
• Extended height of projection 52 allows the material to flow in opposite directions on compression of projection 52 under a vacuum condition.
• the extended length tail portion 44 of seal 16 serves as a process connection sealing function.
• the increased thickness of projection 52 also functions as a mechanical lock for seal 16.
• the seal is of sufficient thickness adjacent to the innermost end of groove 62 to prevent premature failure of the seal.
