  • Patent number: 4305595
    Abstract: A composite seal is adapted to fit in a groove formed in the outer surface of a first body and project outwardly to engage a second body spaced apart from the first body and form a fluid-tight seal between the two bodies. The seal includes an elongated raised portion which engages the second body and is formed of a deformable material. The seal further includes a pair of retainer portions formed of a material stiffer than the raised portion, the raised portion being formed integral with and located between the retainer portions. The raised portion projects outwardly beyond the outer ends of the retainer portions. The seal also includes recesses between the raised portion and both retainer portions extending below the outer ends of the retainer portions so that when the second body moves closer to the first body the material forming the raised portion will deform and flow into the recesses.
