Abstract
Foreign material exclusion devices that are particularly suited for use in high temperature environments, but can also be used at ambient room temperature or below as well. The devices include a shaped resilient body comprising heat-resistant foam fully encased in a heat resistant jacket.
Claims19
A high temperature resistant foreign material exclusion device, comprising:
- a body comprising a resilient foam, wherein the body is compressible and re-expandable in a direction parallel to at least one of a first face surface and a second face surface of the body, wherein a sidewall extends between the first face surface and the second face surface, wherein the body has a maximum continuous use temperature of at least 300° F. (149° C.);
- a jacket that surrounds and fully encases the body within the jacket such that any debris contacting the foreign exclusion material device is not able to contact the body, wherein the jacket is flexible and conformable to a shape of the body but is a component separate and distinct from the body, wherein the jacket comprises a flame resistant material, wherein the jacket has a maximum continuous use temperature of at least 300° F. (149° C.);
- and
- a handle has a first end and a second end each directly connected to the jacket adjacent one of the faces of the body for manipulating the device.

(149° C.);
- and
- a handle directly connected to the jacket adjacent one of the faces of the body for manipulating the device,
- wherein the jacket includes i) a first lower panel forms a lower face surface of the jacket and ii) a side wall, and
- wherein the lower face surface and the side wall are sewn such that a side wall seam formed therebetween has an angle of about 90°.
