A sealing ring comprises a reinforcing ring composed of thermoplastic material and has at least one annular groove therein and a lip ring concentrically nested in the reinforcing ring and having a circular bead for each annular groove. The circular bead has the same profile as the annular groove and is set therein. Each bead has a profile which in the projecting portion is enlarged in the manner of a wedge extending essentially radially outwardly and a nominal diameter on which each bead is disposed is smaller than the nominal diameter of the associated groove.
