Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively seal an area between relatively movable members having uneven seal surfaces, while being subjected to large relative movement. SOLUTION: The sprung seal assembly 20 includes a flexible sprung seal 22 having a central part 24 positioned between cantilever-like ends 26 and 28 bent on sides opposite to each other. Respective free ends 30 and 32 of the ends 26 and 28 are retained in a retainer 36. Slide lugs 40 and 42 arranged at the free ends 30 and 32 are slidably positioned in groove parts 50 and 52. The free ends are retained in the retainer by the slide lugs positioned in the groove parts 50 and 52 between a mounting surface 60 and the retainer. The central part has a wear fragment 66. The elastic seal assembly is positioned between a fixed sidewall 11 of a nozzle assembly 8, and a movable flap 13. The retainer is attached to a flap 13, and the central part is sealed to and engaged with a sealing surface of a sidewall 11. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
