<p>A sealing device for use with a bleed screw of an hydraulic system comprises a one-piece moulding of rubber or plastics material. The sealing device comprises a sealing ring of frusto-conical outline, an end cap, and a flexible strip interconnecting the ring and the cap. In its position of use the sealing ring is clamped between a shoulder on the bleed screw and a plain face on a caliper which surrounds a threaded bore into which the bleed screw is screwed. This prevents foreign matter from entering the screw threads externally. The end cap is detachably deformed over a bead at the free end of the bleed screw to prevent moisture or foreign matter from entering the bore through a bleed passage in the bleed screw.</p> |
