Zusammenfassung: | A SEAL ARRANGEMENT FOR A CLOSURE, COMPRISING TWO CORRESPONDING PARTS (10, 12) TO BE SEALED, EACH PART HAVING A SEALING RING (18, 28) COMPRISING AN OUTER RIDGE (24, 32) AND AN INNER RECESS (22, 30), THE RESPECTIVE RIDGE AND RECESS BEING PROVIDED ON THE INNER SURFACE OF ONE SEALING RING (18) AND THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE OTHER (28), ONE SEALING RING (28) INCLUDING WITHIN ITS RECESS (30) AN O-RING (34). PREFERABLY, THIS CONSTITUTES A SNAP-RING. THIS ALLOWS THE TWO PARTS (10, 12) TO BE JOINED TOGETHER WITH A VERY LOW EFFORT, BUT THE INVENTOR HAS DISCOVERED THAT IN THE PROCESS OF THIS JOINING OPERATION THE RIDGE (24) OF THE OUTER SEALING (18) "FALLS" INTO THE RECESS (30) OF THE SEALING RING (28) IN A SUBSTANTIAL RADIAL DIRECTION. THIS, AN O-RING (34) PLACED WITHIN THAT RECESS (30) IS GRIPPED IN A RADIAL DIRECTION WITH LITTLE FRICTIONAL ROLLING OR SLIDING. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A MORE SECURE SEAL AND AN INCREASED LIFE FOR THE O-RING (34).(FIG. 1) |
