ARRANGEMENT OF AN OBLIQUE-CONTACT SEAL IN A TRAPEZOIDAL GROOVE

摘要

An arrangement of a biconical annular joint having a laid down V shaped cross-section, in an annular groove having a trapezium shaped cross-section, a small base of the trapezium corresponding to a cylindrical bottom of the groove and being radially inwardly open at a great base of the trapezium. The joint includes a radially outer annular heel and two generally conical annular wings extending radially inwardly from the heel, an inner radial end of each wing being axially bearing against an associated wall of the groove. The joint is mounted in the groove such that the heel of the joint is located radially distal to a bottom of the groove.
