PASS-THROUGH SEAL AND SYSTEM HAVING PASS-THROUGH SEAL FOR SEALING VEHICULAR COMPONENT

摘要

A pass-through seal may seal a component extending between a first member and a second member in a vehicle. The pass-through seal may define a core opening and have a varying outer profile. The core opening receives the component at a predefined angle relative to an aperture defined by the first member. The core opening supports the component at the predefined angle at one end and has a snug fit with the component at the other end. The varying outer profile is configured to create an interference fit with the aperture defined by the first member at one end and to be larger than the aperture at the other end.

主权项

1. A pass-through seal for sealing a component extending between a first member and a second member in a vehicle, the pass-through seal comprising:
two or more portions fixedly coupled and defining a core opening, wherein the core opening receives the component at a predefined angle relative to an aperture defined by the first member, wherein the two or more portions include:
a first portion that has an outer profile configured to create an interference fit with the aperture defined by the first member, and the first portion defines a first opening that forms part of the core opening and supports the component at the predefined angle, anda second portion that has an outer profile larger than the aperture of the first member to prevent the second portion from passing through the aperture, and the second portion defines a second opening that forms part of the core opening and fits snuggly around the component; wherein the core opening receives the component at an angle that is non-orthogonal to the aperture defined by the first member.
