METHOD OF MAKING A FACE TYPE SEAL BETWEEN MEMBERS OF A NONMOTION-TRANSMITTING JOINT

摘要

A face type seal between mating members is disclosed including the method of forming. A continuous groove is defined in the face of at least one of said members forming a continuous circuit in cooperation with said other member. A single access opening is defined through one of the members communicating with said groove. The intersection of said access opening and groove defining a mouth opening. A sealing material injector head is inserted through said access opening and mouth opening and positioned to interrupt said groove to define a groove entrance and a groove exit. A low shrinkage liquid sealant material is forced from a supply channel in the injector head into the groove entrance to displace air throughout said groove and overflow, if necessary, through said groove exit into an excess channel. The sealant material is cured to a resilient nonload-bearing solid adhesively joining said members and effecting a resilient seal therebetween.
