Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
In combination with a hot displacer, for a cryogenic refrigerator, having a first rider ring groove near the top of the displacer and a second groove near the bottom of the displacer, a plasma spray deposited rider ring in each of said grooves, of a corrosion and abrasion resistant material, which has been machined to the desired width and diameter after deposition; said rider rings having a plurality of flat surfaces machined on the outer surface for permitting gas to pass along the hot displacer wall.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
In combination with a hot displacer, for a cryogenic refrigerator, having a first rider ring groove near the top of the displacer and a second groove near the bottom of the displacer, a plasma spray deposited rider ring in each of said grooves, of a corrosion and abrasion resistant material, which has been machined to the desired width and diameter after deposition; said rider rings having a plurality of flat surfaces machined on the outer surface for permitting gas to pass along the hot displacer wall.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The device as recited in claim 1 wherein the corrosion and abrasion resistant material is an alloy having 55 percent min. Co, 29 percent Cr, 4.5 percent W, 1.25 percent Si, 1.00 percent C and a maximum of 6.5 percent other materials.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
82 words
The method of providing rider rings for a cryogenic-refrigerator hot displacer having a pair of rider ring grooves in the outer surface, comprising: plasma spray depositing a corrosion and abrasion resistant metal alloy into said grooves; allowing the alloy material to build up to a width and diameter greater than the desired width and diameter of the finished rider rings; machining the rider rings to the desired diameter and width; machining a plurality of gas flow flat surfaces on the rider rings.
