Latest Patents

Stoffers’s patent, “Sealing device for a rod,” concerns sealing a movable rod between a liquid-filled high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure region in a pressure-resistant housing. The device includes a sealing cylinder and a sealing ring that statically seals an annular gap near the cylinder’s high-pressure-side end face.

At least one connecting channel runs from the cylinder’s outer jacket surface to its inner jacket surface. Its position is adapted to the cylinder material to help prevent deformation in an area away from the press ring. This design addresses the demands placed on sealing components in high-pressure applications.

Career Highlights

The available information associates Stoffers with Hammelmann Corporation and identifies his patented work on rod sealing. The invention focuses on the structure and placement of a connecting channel to help preserve the sealing cylinder’s shape under pressure.

Collaborations

Egbert Helmig and Jannick Hinschen are identified as Stoffers’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in developing or patenting the sealing device.

Conclusion

Christian Stoffers’s patent describes a sealing device intended to support reliable rod sealing in high-pressure equipment, with a design that accounts for potential cylinder deformation.
