Self-sealing container for pressurized electro-conducting media

Abstract

A self-sealing container for pressurized electro-conducting media including toroidal solid thin shells with flexible lip elements covered by a thin film of low friction plastic with electrical isolating and sealing features (for example Teflon type material). Each toroidal solid thin shell contacts with another shell by ball-socket type shape. Initial axial squeezing force during assembly creates the primary seal. Internal pressure from outside source or internal electrochemical reaction forces flexible lip elements against each other and creates contact force between each pair of ball-socket type shapes. The contact force is applied to the plastic film to seal internal volume of container.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 ) a self-sealing container for pressurized electro-conducting media, which includes toroidal solid thin shells 
 2) said a flexible lips element belongs to thin shells    3) said thin film of low friction plastic that covered lips elements serves two functions: electro isolating and sealing    4) said toroidal solid thin shells contact with other shells by ball-socket type shape    5) said initial axial squeezing force created primal sealing    6) said internal pressure from outside source or internal electrochemical reaction bend flexible lips element against each other and creates contact force between each pair of spherical ball-socket shape.    7) said a contact force is applied to plastic film to seal internal volume of container    8) said a self-sealing container at any length can be assembled from identical elements.
