Abstract
Abstract A packing comprised of an annular body having a sealing section and a reinforcing section in which the sealing section which is of a resilient material has at least one sealing lip and the reinforcing section is made up of a strip of fabric wound into a helix with the convolutions of the helix superimposed upon one another and bonded together to form an integral section. The threads of the fabric in the strip are disposed obliquely to the opposed edges of the strip such that when the strip is wound into the helix, substantially the ends of the threads are exposed to the wearing surfaces of the reinforcing section. The invention also includes a method of manufacturing the packing in which the sealing section, having the sealing lip, is formed from a suitable resilient material and is then bonded to the reinforcing section which has been formed by winding the strip of fabric into a helix with the convolutions superimposed upon one another and then bonding together the convolutions.
