  • Patent number: 9907123
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microwave sealing device of an opening for a rotating shaft (26) or axle. The sealing device (10; 30; 50) is provided for enclosing a section of the shaft (26) or axle. The sealing device (10; 30; 50) includes a front panel (12; 32; 52) and a basis part (14; 34; 54). The front panel (12; 32; 52) is formed as a plane disk and comprises a central hole (16; 36; 56) in its center and a plurality of cuts (20; 40; 58, 60). The basis part (14; 34; 54) is formed as a hollow part with a peripheral wall and two opposing face sides. At least one of the two opposing face sides of the basis part (14; 34; 54) is open. The basis part (14; 34; 54) comprises a plurality of cuts (22; 42; 62) in the peripheral wall. The front panel (12; 32; 52) is attached at the open face side or at one of the two open face sides, respectively, of the basis part (14; 34; 54).
