There are at least three sealing or closing means 3a, 3b, 3c, characterised in that the closeable or sealable pliable body comprises an inner part (4, figure 1), a strap 5 made of polymer coated glass cloth, at least two parts (7a, 7b, figure 1) made of a macromolecular material and an outer part 8 made of polymer coated glass cloth. The shield prevents a spray-out of potentially dangerous fluid in the case of a joint failure.</p> |
