Abstract: A sealing arrangement comprising a one-piece, peripheral, elastomeric sealing material for sealing a sealing space, the material containing a bearing-side sealing region and inserted between at least one outer rotatable bearing component and, mutually rotatable about the same center axis, at least one inner rotatable bearing component of a rotary joint, wherein the sealing arrangement is form-lockingly and force-lockingly connected in a detachable and replaceable manner to a structure, namely (I) to a plunge cut in a surface parallel to a horizontal outer surface of one of the inner and outer rotatable bearing components, and (II) to a projecting material protrusion with a bottom surface which is disposed on the bearing side of this material protrusion, as an integral part of the inner or outer rotatable bearing component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing arrangement made of a preferably integral peripheral rubber-like sealing material for sealing the sealing space for use in a rotary connection, wherein the sealing space is confined by a sealing region (17) on the bearing side and the sealing arrangement is used between at least one outer ring (or outer rotatable bearing component) (7) and at least one inner ring (or inner rotatable bearing component) (8) rotatable against one another about the same central axis, wherein the sealing arrangement is not irretrievably fixed in a groove but is connected by positive and non-positive engagement, so as to be releasable and replaceable again, to a recess (2) introduced on a surface parallel to the horizontal outer surface (20; 21) of the rotatable bearing component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for sealing a gap between parts that are moved relative to one another, namely a fixing part, for fixing at least one elastic sealing element at an edge thereof, and a stop part along which another edge of at least one elastic sealing element runs, wherein the fixing part comprises, running along the gap, at least one groove in which are inserted one or more anchoring parts that engage through or around the sealing element and/or a retaining element that retains same.

Abstract: A windmill rotor of the front-runner type and airfoil type wind blades therefor in which the blade tips have a longitudinally forwardly curved configuration. The curvature solves the problem of inward flexure of the blade in strong wind conditions, without requiring modification of the manner in which the rotor as a whole is mounted in order to avoid having the blade strike the windmill tower under such strong wind conditions.
