  • Patent number: 4521168
    Abstract: An arrangement which seals three movable bodies with respect to one another, for example in a component used in a motor vehicle, is provided with first sealing bodies which are imbedded in a first rotating body. Sealingly secured in these first sealing bodies are sealing members which follow the circumference of the first rotating body as well as a respective sealing member extending in the axial direction of the rotating body. The sealing members are in sliding sealing engagement with sealing surfaces of angular sealing strips, such sealing surfaces extending normal to the direction of the sealing members which follow the circumference of the rotating body. The angular sealing strips are secured at the opposing ends of a reciprocable second body which radially traverses the rotating body. Preferably, these angular sealing strips are interconnected with the aid of a respective further sealing body positioned on the axial end surfaces of the second body.
