Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
Method for manufacturing a valve comprising a valve body and a valve member, at least one of which has a seat attached thereto at a seat portion thereof and a recess adjacent to the junction between said seat and seat portion, said method comprising steps of placing a compressible filler material in said recess, placing a cladding plate in an opposite relationship to said seat portion with a predetermined space therebetween, forcing said cladding plate to the seat portion under an explosion pressure to thereby bond said cladding plate to said seat portion and shear said cladding plate along the periphery of said recess.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
Method for manufacturing a valve comprising a valve body and a valve member, at least one of which has a seat attached thereto at a seat portion thereof and a recess adjacent to the junction between said seat and seat portion, said method comprising steps of placing a compressible filler material in said recess, placing a cladding plate in an opposite relationship to said seat portion with a predetermined space therebetween, forcing said cladding plate to the seat portion under an explosion pressure to thereby bond said cladding plate to said seat portion and shear said cladding plate along the periphery of said recess.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 including applying an external force sufficient to resist the explosion pressure to said valve body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method of manufacturing a valve in accordance with claim 1, in which said filler material comprises a mass of powder or granular material aggregated to a suitable density.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method of manufacturing a valve in accordance with claim 3, in which said granular material is sand.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
