Method of forming a sealant ring within a throttle body assembly

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of forming a sealant ring within a throttle body assembly comprising an essentially cylindrical housing defined by an essentially cylindrical wall and an essentially circular plate pivotally disposed on the wall wherein an essentially annular gap is formed between the plate and the wall. The method comprises depositing an essentially continuous ring of sealant composition around the throttle body assembly. The essentially continuous ring covers the essentially annular gap. The sealant composition is dispensed from a needle applicator which is disposed above the annular gap and which travels in an essentially circular motion around the throttle body. The sealant composition, upon drying, forms an essentially continuous seal covering the gap of the throttle body.
