Abstract:
A packing tool comprises a sealing element for mounting on a mandrel so as to define a volume between the sealing element and the mandrel; and a ring member for mounting on the mandrel adjacent the sealing element. The ring member is axially movable relative to the sealing element to cause deformation of the sealing element and includes a communicating bore extending between the volume defined between the sealing element and the mandrel and an exterior portion of the tool.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a vehicle door hinge having a hinge axis, the method including providing a first hinge part having a first arm and a second arm axially spaced from the first arm, the hinge axis passing through the first arm and the second arm. The method also includes bending a strip of material to form a second hinge part having a first end, a second end, and a bent section between the first end and the second end, the first end having a first section and the second end having a second section, the first section and the second section being parallel relative to one another. In addition, the method includes fixing the first section and the second section relative to one another, and disposing the bent section between the first and second arms about the hinge axis.
Abstract:
A pressure control device for mounting on a mandrel includes a flexible cup member, a rigid support member and an anti extrusion portion of greater hardness than the cup member located at an outer portion of the cup member. The cup member is bonded only to selected areas of the anti extrusion portion and the support member, thereby permitting relative movement between other areas of contact.
Abstract:
A pressure control device for isolating a section of a conduit comprises a support member, a flexible cup member mounted to the support member, a first swellable element, the first swellable element adapted, upon activation by an activation fluid, to urge a first portion of the cup member outwards into engagement with a conduit surface and at least one bypass arranged to permit the activation fluid to bypass the swellable element and build up behind a second portion of the cup member.

Abstract:
A removable door check device for use for use with a door hinge for holding a vehicle door in an opened position. The removable door check device includes a body, a first contact element extending from the body and having a first contacting surface, and a second contact element extending from the body and having a second contacting surface facing the first contacting surface. The first and second contacting surfaces are moveable with respect to each other to permit release of the door check device. In addition, a door hinge includes a first hinge part, a second hinge part pivotally connected to the first hinge part, and a removable door check device. The removable door check device includes a first contact element having a first contacting surface configured to engage the first hinge part and a second contact element having a second contacting surface facing the first contacting surface and configured to engage the second hinge part when the door hinge is in the opened position.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle door hinge with a hinge axis includes a first hinge part and a second hinge part. The first hinge part has a first arm and a second arm axially spaced from the first arm with the hinge axis passing through the first arm and the second arm. The second hinge part includes a continuous strip of material having a first end, a second end, and a bent section between the first end and second end. The bent section is disposed between the first arm and second arm about the hinge axis. The first end has a first section and the second end has a second section. The first section and second section are parallel and fixed relative to each other.
