.~ Centrifugal force affects change in displacement, shape, or contact
DEFINITION
Classification: 277/433
Centrifugal force affects change in displacement, shape or contact:
(under subclass 345) Dynamic seal wherein the dynamic seal has an inertial force repelling the sealing means away from its axis of rotation to move, deform, or alter its engagement to another sealing member or relatively movable part.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
425+, for a dynamic, close proximity impeller (e.g., slinger, etc.) seal having a static sealing means affected by rotational movement.
929, for a seal for other than a dynamic seal where centrifugal force affects displacement, shape, or contact where a change in operation or condition induces additional leakage control.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS
384, Bearings, for more than nominal bearing structure or detail (e.g., liner, bearing race, cage, etc.) combined with a specific seal,
135+, for a plain, radial bearing where centrifugal force moves or holds the seal in place or subclass 478 for a radial antifriction bearing where centrifugal force loads the seal or a liquid or gas forms a sealing barrier.
