Abstract
Abstract A fluid seal having an annular metal case supporting a flexible sealing ring with a peripheral sealing edge radially to one side of an axial web of the case. The other side of the web may be formed with a groove filled with the resilient material of the sealing ring. A radial web of the case is also provided at one edge of the axial web. The metal case is made by a roll forming process.
