US 7,146,999 B2 34 114 to accommodate O-rings 116 between adjoining blocks 100 and their channels 108 (With no such O-rings being illustrated in FIG. 1, save for at countersunk areas formed about the insert passage 112 in the insert 110). a?ixed blocks 100. Such a base is preferably provided in the form of a mounting plate 132 having a mounting surface 134 sized and con?gured to receive several abutting horizon tally-arrayed blocks 100 thereon. The mounting surface 134 includesplatefasteneropenings136situatedsuchthatWhen several arrayed blocks 100 are placed on the mounting The central bores 106 can also be closed (ifdesired), preferably by the use of a closure plate 118. Each closure plate118isboundedbyaperimetershapedidenticallytothe surface134,theplatefasteneropenings136canbecoaxially block face(s) 102 to Which it is to be ?t, With the closure plate 118 being adapted to rest in a seated position on a block face 102 With the surfaces of the closure plate’s perimeter resting coplanarly With the block sides 104. Fastener open ings 120 and 122 are de?ned in the block faces 102 and in the closure plate 118, With the fastener openings 122 of the closure plate 118 being aligned With the face fastener openings120intheblockfaces102.Fasteners124may then be inserted into both the closure plate 118 and the block face 102 upon Which the closure plate 118 is seated to a?ix the closure plate 118 to the block face 102. Blocks 100 may be a?ixed together in vertically stacking relationship, as With blocks 1000 and 100d in FIG. 2, to 20 arrange adjoining bores 106 into elongated vertical passage Ways or to otherWise construct a desired device for the handling of ?uids. The face fastener openings 120 in the block faces 102 can be situated so that When blocks 100 are situatedinface-to-faceabuttingrelationship,thefacefas 25 tener openings 120 are coaxially aligned. This alloWs the blocks 100 to be a?ixed together in face-to-face abutment by extending fasteners 124 betWeen the aligned face fastener openings 120 of the abutting blocks 100. aligned With the face fastener openings 120 (and/or the closure plate fastener openings 122) so that fasteners 124 can be used to a?ix the arrayed blocks 100 to the mounting plate 132. The mounting plate 132 could simply take the form of pegboard or a similar perforated substrate, so long as the apertures in the pegboard align With the face fastener openings 120 and closure plate fastener openings 122. Furtheradvantages,features,andobjectsoftheinvention Will be apparent from the folloWing detailed description of the invention in conjunction With the associated draWings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective vieW of a block 100 above a mounting plate 132, shoWing an insert 110 and closure plate 118 (and associated face and closure plate fasteners 124, side fasteners 128, etc.) exploded outWardly asWell. Similarlytotheverticallyadjoiningblockfaces102,the30 horizontally adjoining block sides 104 are also preferably connectable as Well, With these side connections further providing rigidity to the constructed ?uid handling device and better ensuring leak-resistant communication of ?uids betWeenadjacentblocks100.Sideconnectionscanbemade 35 by including side fastener openings 126 in the block sides 104, Whereby a block 100 may be a?ixed by fasteners to a horizontally adjacent block 100. The side fastener openings 126 are preferably situated on the block sides 104 so that Whentheblocks100arearrayedinside-by-sideabutting40 relationship With aligned channels 108, their side fastener openings 126 are coaxially aligned to alloW a side fastener 128 to extend therebetWeen. Most preferably, each side fastener opening 126 is de?ned in both a block side 104 and also a block face 102 so that the side fasteners 128 are 45 installable betWeen block sides 104 from the block faces 102. Additionally, once installed, these side fasteners 128 are preferably ?ush With the block faces 102 so that they do not interfere With vertical stacking of blocks 100. It is also usefultoprovideeachsidefasteneropening126Witha50 cross-section Which changes as the side fastener opening 126 extends into the block side 104, so that a complemen tarily-shaped side fastener 128 Will ?t into the side fastener opening 126 in mating, key-like fashion. A preferred side fastenercon?gurationisoneWhichhasacross-sectional55 area Which decreases at the middle of its length, and thus its complementary side fastener opening 126 has an expanding cross-section as it extends into the block side 104.

Such fasteners 128 and openings 126 tightly maintain adjacent blocks 100 together, and the mouth 130 of the Wrench, if present, alloWs easy insertionofascreWdrivertiptoalloWasidefastener128to be more easily lifted for removal. It is also useful if the blocks 100 can be mounted on a sturdy base to impart greater rigidity/stability to an array of materialscanbespeciallychosentoachievedesiredobjec tives; for example, a block 100 or closure plate 118 could be formed of plastic or ceramic materials to reduce heat con duction, or of transparent plastic or glass to alloW visual izationofitscontents,etc.A usercouldthenchoosea mixture of blocks 100 and/or closure plates 118 having desired characteristics, and assemble them to better ful?ll the intended purpose of the ?uid handling device. 65 FIG. 2 is a partially exploded perspective vieW shoWing blocks 100a, 100b, and 1000 horizontally arrayed above a mounting plate 132 (With blocks 10019 and 1000 and their associated inserts 110a and 1101) being shoWn sectioned alongtheirmidplanes),Withblock100dexplodedoutWardly from the block 1000 upon Which itisvertically stacked, and With insert 110a and closure plates 118 each being exploded vertically outWardly from their blocks 100 beloW. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED VERSIONS OF THE INVENTION As previously noted, the block faces 102 (and indeed the axialcross-sectionsofeachblock100)arepreferablyshaped as tesselating regular polygons. A regular polygon is a polygon Where all sides have the same size, and all of the interior angles are the same; examples are equilateral tri angles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, etc. A tesselating regularpolygonisaregularpolygonWhereinseveralpoly gons of the same size and type can ?t snugly together in a side-by-side array Which completely covers the area across Which the polygons are arrayed; examples are triangles, squares, and hexagons. (Note that polygons other than regularpolygonsmaytesselate,e.g.,rectanglesandparal lelograms.) Symmetric tesselating regular polygons are those Where each side has a parallel opposing side, e.g., squares and hexagons. These are particularly preferred shapes for blocks 100 since they alloW channels 108 to extendbetWeen,andbecentrally/symmetricallylocatedon, opposing block sides 104. The blocks 100 and closure plates 118 are preferably formed of heat- and corrosion-resistant materials such asPDF Image | MODULAR FLUID HANDLING DEVICE Giese
