James Donoho is an accomplished inventor based in Golden Valley, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of sealing technologies, holding a total of 5 patents. His work focuses on innovative methods for coupling components, particularly in applications involving fluoropolymer materials.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Component to component sealing method." This method involves sealingly coupling a first component and a second component by forming a polymer male portion attached to the first component. The male portion features a first axis and a first bore extending through it, along with a first stop surface, a second stop surface, and an annular sealing portion. The method also includes creating a polymer female portion attached to the second component, which has a second axis and a second bore. The male portion is urged towards the female portion, allowing for effective sealing through compressive forces applied to the annular ring.
Another notable patent is a "Component to component sealing method" that describes a coupling ideal for sealing between components such as a fluoropolymer valve body and a fluoropolymer manifold. This coupling utilizes structures on the components to define the sealing surfaces. The design includes a male protruding portion and a recessed female receiving portion, along with a clamping means that engages the male portion. The male protruding portion is shaped as a converging rounded conical frustum, ensuring a secure seal through its primary sealing surface.
