A window of a transparent material suitable for closing an opening in a wall of a sealed container, which window has two conical portions whose bases face each other. An elastic seal is interposed between each of the conical surfaces and the wall of the opening. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A disassemblable window assembly for sealing an opening in a wall of a vessel, said opening being bounded by a side surface of the wall, said window assembly comprising: a window, having two conical surfaces with a common base, the entire periphery of said base directly contacting the side surface bounding said opening; and at least two elastic seals, one elastic seal being interposed between and contacting each conical surface and the side surface bounding said opening.
2.
A disassemblable window assembly as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the elastic seals are O-rings.
3.
A disassemblable window assembly as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the side surface is cylindrical in shape.
4.
A disassemblable window assembly as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that: the opening is also bounded by two annular surfaces which are substantially perpendicular to the side surface, said annular surfaces being located at opposite ends of the cylindrical surface; the window is compressed between the annular surfaces; and each O-ring also contacts one annular surface.
Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a window of a transparent material suitable for closing an opening in a wall of a sealed container.
The window comprises at least one conical surface which via sealing means cooperates with the wall of the opening to be closed.
Windows of the type to which the present invention relates are employed in the walls of high-pressure vessels and vacuum vessels, thus enabling optical measurements to be performed on material samples located in these vessels.
The known windows are, for example, made of sapphire.
Sapphire, however, is not suitable for all optical measurements.
The windows generally take the form of a cylinder with accurately parallel end faces.
Sealing between the end faces and the wall of the opening is generally obtained by firmly clamping the window in place and appyling a soft metal to the sealing faces which deforms and diffuses into the sealing faces
