Zusammenfassung:A joint sealing key assembly includes a sealing key having a sealing face and one or more posts projecting in a direction away from the sealing face. The sealing key is disposed in a key slot of a first part with the post extending into an opening through the bottom of the key slot. The post includes a laterally opening elongated hole for receiving a lateral pin to retain the sealing key in the slot during assembly. Upon formation of the joint by bringing the seal faces of the first and second parts together, the sealing key is displaced against the bias of a leaf spring thereby retaining the sealing face of the sealing key in sealing engagement with the seal face of the second part.
