Methods and systems are provided for a sealing device. In one example, a seal comprises a plurality of radial features and a plurality of axial features extending from a cylindrical body, the cylindrical body comprises a first material and a second material, wherein the second material is stiffer than the first material.

A gasket having concentric or spiral serrations around the aperture on each side of the gasket, and wherein a facing is secured to such serrations, wherein each facing comprises a first layer which is in contact with a respective set of such serrations and a second layer which is in contact with the first layer. The first layer could be of a polyaryletherketone or polyimide, and the second layer could be of graphite or vermiculite. The serrations are designed to avoid damage to the first layer. An intact first layer can supply a property to the facing which may be absent in the second layer; for example, good dielectric properties.

A gasket, and more particularly, to a gasket including a sealing material with grooves in a surface thereof and a filler provided between the sealing material are proposed. With the gasket, it is possible to secure higher airtightness, stability and restorability than gaskets of the related art.

Gasket seals for high pressure applications include retaining elements with inner diameter seal elements that interlock with the retaining element to provide resistance to movement in both axial and radial directions between the retaining element and seal element. High pressure sealing may be accomplished using a metallic core retaining element to which an electrically isolating material is bonded on either or both sides. Sealing is achieved through an inner diameter dielectric sealing element, such as a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) inner diameter sealing ring. Flanges of a joint in a fluid flow ling may be bolted together with the gasket seal interposed therebetween. In the event of pressure changes, the inner diameter seal resists being drawn into the flow line, and resists axial movement relative to the retaining element, through dual locking members that secure the seal to the retaining element.

The invention relates to a seal for a dishwasher adapted to be interposed between a peripheral edge of an opening of a tub for cookware and a door for closing said opening. The seal comprises a metal part adapted to be connected to the peripheral edge of the opening, a first part, made of polymeric material, integrally connected to the metal part and a second part, made of polymeric material, associated with the first part and adapted to be contacted by the door when the door is arranged in a position for closing the opening.

A static sealing gasket of elastically deformable type, the gasket extending in elevation parallel to an axial direction perpendicular to a join plane, the gasket forming a closed loop around the axial direction and presenting a cross-section in each transverse half-plane of shape making it possible to ensure that the gasket is properly positioned inside a groove of a substantially complementary shape. Such a gasket comprises a body made of elastically deformable material, each cross-section of the gasket at rest being a polygon that is not regular and that is transversely asymmetrical.

A gasket and a sealing structure that are capable of stabilizing posture of the gasket installed in a narrow space. A gasket main body has: an annular lip portion pressed by a facing surface of a second member facing a first member so that the lip portion is in close contact with the facing surface while being bent inward; a first annular protrusion in close contact with an end surface of the mount portion facing the second member; and a second annular protrusion provided inward with respect to the first annular protrusion and in close contact with the end surface.

A sealing device includes a reinforcing ring and an elastic body part formed from an elastic body and attached to the reinforcing ring. The elastic body part includes a seal lip projecting toward one side in a direction of an axis, a secondary lip portion projecting toward another side in the direction of the axis, and an outer peripheral portion covering the reinforcing ring from an outer periphery side. The seal lip projects beyond the reinforcing ring toward the one side, and the secondary lip portion projects beyond the reinforcing ring toward the other side. In the outer peripheral portion, at least one identification part acting as a mark is formed further on the one side or the other side than a middle of the outer peripheral portion.

A gasket is configured to be mounted in a gasket mounting groove that opens to the radially inside of a mounting member provided with a hydraulic passage, and is provided with a back-side hydraulic passage serving as a gap on its groove bottom surface. The gasket includes a gasket body with a reinforcement ring buried therein and a flange provided to extend from one axial end of the gasket body toward the radially outside. The gasket also includes a one-end-side seal lip that is provided to extend from the one axial end of the gasket body toward one side in an axial direction and the radially inside, and is configured to come in contact with one axial side surface of the gasket mounting groove when the gasket body is mounted. The gasket also includes an other-end-side seal lip that is provided to extend from the other axial end of the gasket body toward the other side in the axial direction and the radially outside, and is configured to come in contact with the other axial side surface and a bottom surface of the gasket mounting groove when the gasket body is mounted.

A sealing device in which diameter expansion of an inserted first back-up ring is suppressed. The sealing device includes a seal ring mounted in a rectangular mounting groove, the first back-up ring, and a second back-up ring. The first back-up ring has an end surface contacting an opposing-sealing-fluid-side side surface of the mounting groove. The second back-up ring has an end surface contacting the seal ring. A contact surface in an inner peripheral end of second back-up ring is perpendicular to the axis to contact an opposing-sealing-fluid-side side surface of the mounting groove. The inner diameter of the first back-up ring is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the contact surface portion of the second back-up ring, and the outer diameter of the first back-up ring is set to be smaller than the inner diameter of a housing.
