Abstract: A sealing mechanism for a container for sealing an interface between two or more of the structural members, including a container body, a pouring spout, and a closing cap, includes an outer annular edge formed as part of a threaded neck opening for the container body, a radial lip formed as part of the pouring spout and being positioned in contact with the neck portion and the closing cap being configured so as to be attachable to the container body for closing the opening and being constructed and arranged so as to seal against the outer annular edge when attached to the container body.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fluid seal and rod wiper assembly suitable for insertion in annular groove of a piston housing packing chamber. The rod wiper assembly comprises a generally U-shaped elastomeric rod wiper having a thin lip which wipes a piston shaft and a thicker lip which provides a shoulder for accommodating an interference or compression fitting locking ring. An alternative embodiment includes a cantilever spring which is snap fit into the u-shaped compartment of the rod wiper. Another alternative embodiment includes an O-ring positioned within the u-shaped compartment defined by the rod wiper.
