Abstract
Abstract A sealing ring has an annular, at least substantially stiff core and therearound an elastically sealing sheath which is glidable on the core. At least one annular part with an internal space adapted to the cross section of the core is attached around the core by means of mutually connected circumferential portions. The mutual connection of the sheath portions is provided by means of at least one annular fastening member, concentric with the core and made of a harder material than the sheath material. The fastening member is in mutual engagement with the sheath portions for keeping together and stiffening them.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A sealing ring with an annular, at least substantially stiff core and a sheath of elastic sealing material surrounding it, the sheath being glidable on the core, whereby the sheath might roll about the core, the sheath being comprised of at least one annular part with an internal space adapted to the cross section of the core, the sheath being discontinuous circumferentially around the core along an annular pathway spaced in from the sides of the ring, the sheath having circumferential portions which meet along the path where the sheath is discontinuous, the sheath being attached around the core by means of a mutual connection at the circumferential portions, the mutual connection of the circumferential portions of the sheath being provided by at least one annular fastening member which is concentric with the core and is made of a harder material than the sheath material, the fastening member being in mutual engagement with the circumferential portions for keeping them together and for stiffening them.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A sealing ring with an annular, at least substantially stiff core and a sheath of elastic sealing material surrounding it, the sheath being glidable on the core, whereby the sheath might roll about the core, the sheath being comprised of at least one annular part with an internal space adapted to the cross section of the core, the sheath being discontinuous circumferentially around the core along an annular pathway spaced in from the sides of the ring, the sheath having circumferential portions which meet along the path where the sheath is discontinuous, the sheath being attached around the core by means of a mutual connection at the circumferential portions, the mutual connection of the circumferential portions of the sheath being provided by at least one annular fastening member which is concentric with the core and is made of a harder material than the sheath material, the fastening member being in mutual engagement with the circumferential portions for keeping them together and for stiffening them.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1, wherein the annular fastening member is situated on the outside of the sheath and grips around the circumferential portions of the sheath, the circumferential portions having the form of flanges projecting radially from the sheath.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the annular fastening member has a U-shaped profile.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the annular fastening member is positioned on the inside of the sealing ring where it is surrounded by the sealing ring and the fastening member further comprises two washers which are axially kept together by means of at least one rivet and which have a central through-hole constituting anchorage for an operating means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1, wherein the circumferential portions of the sheath have facing surfaces with facing recesses defined in them, the annular fastening member is situated in the interior of the sheath and is fitted in the complementary recesses in the surfaces of the circumferential portions of the sheath, the surfaces facing toward each other when the circumferential portions are connected to each other by the fastening member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
78 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 or 5, wherein the annular fastening member is comprised of two parts in engagement, one part is attached to one of the circumferential portions of the sheath intended for mutual connection, and the one part has a U-shaped profile for engagement with the other part; and the other part being attached to the other circumferential portion and being received in the opening of the U-shaped profile of the one part.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 or 5, wherein the annular fastening member is comprised of two annular halves, each in engagement with and affixed to a respective associated one of the circumferential portions of the sheath and the annular halves are mutually glued to each other.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
55 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 or 5, wherein the annular fastening member has axially projecting portions extending in either direction for obtaining form-enveloped engagement with complementarily formed recesses in the circumferential portions of the sheath and the sheath has the formed recesses in the circumferential portions thereof for engaging the fastening member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1, wherein the core is hollow and is comprised of a comparatively thin sheet material.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
17 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1, wherein the core is resilient in a radial direction.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
16 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 1, wherein the core has a cambered outer side.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
62 words
A sealing ring as claimed in claim 3, wherein the annular fastening member is positioned on the inside of the sealing ring where it is surrounded by the sealing ring and the fastening member further comprises two washers which are axially kept together by means of at least one rivet and which have a central through-hole constituting anchorage for an operating means.
