SEAL STRUCTURE

A seal structure (100, 500, 600, 800, 830, 840, 850) can include a protruding portion (120) of an outer surface (112) of a body (102). An inner surface (416) of the protruding portion may define at least a portion of a channel (406). The protruding portion may be configured to engage and at least pa...

Zusammenfassung:A seal structure (100, 500, 600, 800, 830, 840, 850) can include a protruding portion (120) of an outer surface (112) of a body (102). An inner surface (416) of the protruding portion may define at least a portion of a channel (406). The protruding portion may be configured to engage and at least partially deform into the channel in response to a load generated by pressing an outer surface (414) of the protruding portion against a contact surface (202) of a contact member (200) to provide a seal between the body and the contact member. The seal structure may be integrally formed within the body as a monolithic object. The body may face towards the contact surface of the contact member during operation of the seal structure. A method may include forming a monolithic body with an integral seal structure by additively fusing material so that the body has an outer surface facing towards a contact surface of a contact member.
