  • Patent number: 5950367
    Abstract: A device for sealing between two assembly parts that are movable relative to one another, especially between two damper blades or a damper blade and a stop of a flue gas armature. The device includes an elastic sealing element formed by a spring-steel strip, which contains two flat clamping edges arranged next to one another in a parallel fashion and pointing to the same side. The clamping edges are secured by a clamping device to one of the assembly parts. The spring-steel strip also has a sealing zone that is curved in an arc-shaped manner. The sealing element rests, with a resting surface located outside of the clamping edges, flat on the flat supporting surface of a supporting element. The supporting element is also securable by the clamping device to one of the assembly parts.
