RESPONSIVE GIB SUPPORT STRUCTURE
20190376627 · 2019-12-12 ·

The present invention relates to a responsive gas insulated bus (GIB) support structure. The responsive GIB support structure includes: a support; a speed-responsive unlocking unit provided in an upper portion of the support so that a guide is exposed on two sides of the speed-responsive unlocking unit; and a bracket provided to a flange of the tank, wherein the guide is coupled to the bracket. Accordingly, in the present invention, when a variation in pressure and a change in length due to heat occur, the unlocked state of the speed-responsive unlocking unit is maintained when the deformation amount is large or slow through the speed-responsive unlocking unit supporting the structural object, so that it is possible to prevent deformation and breakage of the structural object.

Riser connector assembly

A riser connector assembly includes a first connector assembly portion with first locking members, a second connector assembly portion with second locking members, and a locking device with third and fourth locking members. The locking device is rotatably connected to the first connector assembly portion. The locking device rotates between a first position where each of the locking members are interlocked, a second position where the first and third locking members are interlocked, and the second and fourth locking members are not interlocked, and a third position where none of the locking members are interlocked, so that the locking device is removable. The first and third locking members selectively/releasably interlock via a relative rotation between the first connector assembly portion and the locking device. The second and fourth locking members selectively/releasably interlock via a relative rotation between the second connector assembly portion and the locking device.

A water closet flange repair or reinforcement device has an upper portion of an arcuate shape of less than or equal to a semi-circle, with an outer circumference and an inner circumference; a lower portion substantially parallel to the upper portion, having an outer circumference equal to the outer circumference of the upper portion; a side portion along the outer circumferences of the upper and lower portions, defining a squared C-shaped channel between the top, side, and bottom portions of a pre-determined interior height to receive a water closet flange; and bendable tabs extending from the inner circumference on the upper portion, each tab having a first position co-planar with the upper portion and having a second bent position providing a mechanical retention within an inside volume of a water closet flange captured within the C-shaped channel.

MOUNTING DEVICE FOR A FLAT SEAL OF A FLANGE CONNECTION
20190360590 · 2019-11-28 ·

The invention relates to a mounting device for a flat seal (3) of a flange connection, wherein the flange connection comprises a first flange (4), a second flange (8) and a flat seal arranged between the flanges, wherein the mounting device has at least one clamping jaw (13) for the intermediate space between the two flanges, which clamping jaw is tapered at the end to a nose (9) for holding the flat seal. An assembly method for the flange connection is disclosed.

An object is to exhibit a higher sealing performance against an external pressure, to more reliably prevent breakage of a sealed state established by an inner seal member, and to maintain the soundness of inner mechanical components. Provided is a joint structure including two joint members, a driving mechanism that rotationally drives the two joint members about a predetermined axis relative to each other, two seal members forming a seal between the joint members at positions doubly surrounding the outside of a lubricant storing part in the driving mechanism, and a pressure-applying means that makes the air pressure in a space provided between the two seal members, higher than the pressure of the outside air.

NUT GUIDE

The present invention aims at solving the difficulty of coupling a subsea torque tool, which is usually used by ROVs, to the nuts of cases used to join flanges in pipelines and pipes. In this way, a nut guide (3) is proposed, which is used in pre-assembly and which is coupled to the nut (2) through an adhesive means or any other appropriate joining means, wherein the torque tool is quickly and smoothly guided to the ideal position for tightening or loosening the flanges by using the screw (1) and nut (2) assembly, facilitating the fitting and minimizing the number of alignment maneuvers between the torque tool and the nut (2).

SEALING RING POSITIONING DEVICE

A sealing ring positioning device that, operated by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), allows sealing rings to be installed, in the subsea environment, in a groove of a flange of a first pipeline to be interconnected to a second pipeline. The sealing ring positioning device is provided with an upper portion that is presented as a handle by which the ROV handles the device in a subsea environment, a lower portion having a semicircle shape and configured to hold the sealing ring to be arranged in the flange groove in a subsea environment, and a middle portion including a groove holding a magnet that is configured to hold the device firmly positioned in the pipeline in a subsea environment, during the arrangement of the ring in the groove of the flange.
