Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
38 words
A fire seal comprising an elastic inner tube capable of being pressurised by fluid under pressure, a resilient intermediate layer of fire-resistant carbon felt surrounding said inner tube, and a wear resistant outer layer surrounding said intermediate layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
A fire seal comprising an elastic inner tube capable of being pressurised by fluid under pressure, a resilient intermediate layer of fire-resistant carbon felt surrounding said inner tube, and a wear resistant outer layer surrounding said intermediate layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A fire seal according to claim 1 and wherein the inner tube comprises a silicone elastomer re-inforced with fibrous material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A fire seal according to claim 1 and wherein the outer layer comprises a glass fibre wear resistant sleeve impregnated with a rubber material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A fire seal according to claim 1 and wherein the outer layer comprises a glass fibre wear resistant sleeve coated with a rubber material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
A fire seal comprising an inner tube of a silicone elastomer material re-inforced with fibrous material and which is capable of being pressurised by fluid under pressure, the inner-tube being surrounded by an intermediate layer of a resilient fire-resistant carbon felt, the intermediate layer in turn being surrounded by a wear resistant sleeve of a glass fibre material impregnated with rubber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
61 words
A fire seal comprising an inner tube of a silicone elastomer material re-inforced with fibrous material and which is capable of being pressurised by fluid under pressure, the inner-tube being surrounded by an intermediate layer of a resilient fire-resistant carbon felt, the intermediate layer in turn being surrounded by a wear resistant sleeve of a glass fibre material impregnated with rubber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
56 words
A fire seal comprising an inner tube of a silicone elastomer material and which is capable of being pressurized by fluid under pressure, the inner tube being surrounded by an intermediate layer of a resilient fire resistant carbon felt, the intermediate layer in turn being surrounded by a wear resistant sleeve of a reinforced rubber material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
56 words
A fire seal comprising an inner tube of a silicone elastomer material and which is capable of being pressurized by fluid under pressure, the inner tube being surrounded by an intermediate layer of a resilient fire resistant carbon felt, the intermediate layer in turn being surrounded by a wear resistant sleeve of a reinforced rubber material.
