The invention has for its object, on the one hand, all means which protect, at least partially, the internal face of the sealing joint placed between the lower adjacent faces of the piston ring and the piston groove against the high pressures which, from the combustion chamber pass between the compression ring and the bottom of the groove and also into the cross-sectional or gap clearance of the compression ring, and on the other hand, a support for the said joint, which is not affected by creep, is annular, is not fixed to the piston and is arranged at least under the periphery of the said joint between the joint and the lower face of the piston groove, the peripheral face of the support being maintained at least in proximity to the cylinder and having as a maximum narrow discontinuities, the maximum clearances of this proximity and of these discontinuities being smaller than those in which the material of the said joint begins to creep, under the conditions of temperatures and pressures reached during the operation of the engine.
