METHOD AND MEANS FOR APPLYING O-RINGS

摘要

Method and means for seating a resilient O-ring in an annular groove in a cylindrical part, said part having a tapered end adjacent said groove, in which the O-ring is interposed between the tapered end of the part and a deformable, resilient body, and the part and body then moved relatively toward one another such that the tapered end of the part passes through the O-ring and deforms the body by indenting it to the extent that surfaces of the body are presented to the O-ring to press the O-ring relatively over the tapered end of the part to the groove to seat therein.
