PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a very repeatable, high quality, inexpensive and reliable ring seal for sealing between two planar surfaces. SOLUTION: An improved ring seal (1) includes an annularly shaped body element having a radial inner surface (5), a radial outer surface (6), a first axial end surface (15) and a second axial end surface (21). The ring seal (1) also includes a plurality of bores (25) projecting radially inward from the radial outer surface (6) toward the radial inner surface (5). The ring seal (1) also includes a circular ridge (23) axially projecting from both axial end surfaces (15, 21). The axial ridges (23) separate the end surfaces (15, 21) into inner axial end surfaces (13, 19) and outer axial end surfaces (15, 21). COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
