US 7,146,999 B2 78 Third, the side fasteners 128 can assume a Wide variety of forms other than those described above. As a simple example, the side fasteners 128 can simply take the form of conventional threaded fasteners Which extend through side fastener openings 126 in the block faces 102 to exit the block sides 104 (and then enter an adjoining block 100), With such side fastener openings 126 preferably being countersunk at their entries. As another example, the side fasteners 128 could take the form of links Which bridge side fastener openings 126 similar to those shoWn in the draWings, and Wherein the ends of the links are a?ixed to their blocks 100 With smaller fasteners. As yet another example, spring loaded or Wire clips Which can be compressed, and Which expandtoengageadjoiningblocks100Whenreleased,could beused.Thus,itshouldbeunderstoodthatvirtuallyany 5 knoWn fasteningmeans forfasteningtWo abuttingmembers together could be used for the side fasteners 128. Fourth, the exemplary blocks 100 shoWn in the draWings use the same face fastener openings 120 to both a?ix blocks 100 together in face-to-face relationship, and to a?ix blocks 100 to closure plates 118 and/or mounting plates 132. HoWever, it is also possible to provide different fastener openingsforthesepurposes(e.g.,theplacements,diameters, or other characteristics of the fasteners and fastener open ings used to a?ix blocks 100 together might be different from those used to a?ix closure plates 118 or mounting plates 132 to blocks 100). The invention isnot intended to be limited to the preferred versionsdescribedabove,butratherisintendedtobelimited only by the claims set out beloW. Thus, the invention encompasses all different versions that fall literally or equivalently Within the scope of these claims. What is claimed is: 1.A modular?uidhandlingdevicecomprisingaseriesof blocks, each having a block top face, an opposing block bottom face, and a series of block sides therebetWeen, Wherein: a. the block faces are shaped as tessellating regular polygons, b. each block includes a central bore extending betWeen the block faces, Wherein the central bore has a polygo nal cross-section, Whereby an insert having a comple mentarily-shaped polygonal perimeter may be non rotatably?tWithinthecentralbore; c.eachblockincludeschannelsextendingbetWeenoppos ing block sides, Wherein the channels intersect at the central bore and extend therefrom at equal angular intervals; Wherein: (l) the blocks may be arrayed together in side-to-side abutting relationship to form a tWo-dimensional array of blocks Wherein abutting block sides have their channelscoaxiallyaligned; (2) the blocks may be arrayed together in face-to-face 55 abutting relationship to form a stacked array of blocks Wherein abutting blocks have their bores coaxially aligned. b. has side fastener openings Which are coaxially aligned With the side fastener openings in the block side of another of the blocks Which is situated in side-by-side abuttingrelationship, Whereby the blocks can be a?ixed together in side-to-side abutment by extending a side fastener betWeen the aligned side fastener openings of the abutting blocks. 6. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 5 Wherein each side fastener opening is: a de?ned in both a block side and a block face, and b. has an expanding cross-section as it extends into the block side. 7. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 6 in combination With an elongated side fastener having a cross sectionalareaWhichdecreasesatthemiddleofitslength. 8. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 1 Wherein each block: a. includes face fastener openings in its block faces, and b. has face fastener openings Which are coaxially aligncd With the face fastener openings in the block face of another of the blocks Which is situated in face-to-face abuttingrelationship, Whereby the blocks can be a?ixed together in face-to-face abutment by extending a fastener betWeen the aligned face fastener openings of the abutting blocks. 9. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 1: a. further comprising a closure plate bounded by a perim etershapedasatesselatingregularpolygon,theclosure plate being adapted to rest in a seated position on a block face With the surfaces of the closure plate’s perimeterrestingcoplanarlyWiththeblocksides, b. Wherein fastener openings are de?ned in the faces of the blocks and in the closure plate, the fastener open ingsoftheclosureplatebeingalignedWiththefastener openings in each block, Whereby a fastener may be inserted into both the closure plate and a block Where upon the closure plate rests in the seated position. 10. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 9: a.furthercomprisingamountingplatehavingamounting surface siZed and con?gured to receive several blocks thereoninside-to-sideabuttingrelationship,themount ingsurfacebayingplatefasteneropeningstherein; b. Wherein the plate fastener openings are arrayed such that When several blocks are received thereon in side to-side abutting relationship, the plate fastener open ingscoaxiallyalignWiththeblockfasteneropenings. 11.Amodular ?uid handling device comprising a series of blocks, each having opposing top and bottom block faces and a series of block sides therebetWeen, Wherein each block includes: a. a central bore extending betWeen the block faces, Wherein the central bore has a polygonal cross-section, Whereby an insert having a complementarily-shaved polygonalperimetermaybenon-rotatably?tWithinthe centralbore; b. at least tWo channels, each channel being centrally de?nedinablocksideandintersectingthecentralbore; c. side fastener openings in the block sides, Whereby a block may be a?ixed to a horizontally adjacent block; d. face fastener openings in the block faces, Whereby a blockmay bea?ixedtoaverticallyadjacentblock;and Wherein the blocks are siZed and con?gured to ?t in both: (1) a horiZontal side-to-side tWo-dimensional array With the channels in each block side being coaxial With the channels in an abutting block side, and (2) a vertical face-to-face stack With the bores of the 2. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 1 Wherein the block faces are shaped as hexagons. 3. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 1 Wherein each block side has a channel centrally de?ned therein. 4. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 3 Wherein each block includes channels of different siZes. 5. The modular ?uid handling device of claim 1 Wherein each block: 60 a. includes side fastener openings in its block sides, and blocks in the array coaxially aligned. 40 45PDF Image | MODULAR FLUID HANDLING DEVICE Giese
