Abstract
Abstract In a sealing ring structure comprising a sealing ring (1) made of a tough-elastic plastic material and a stressing ring (11) made of a rubber-elastic material, the sealing ring (1) is provided with an annular recess (2) on its sealing surface which rests against the other machine component (14). The stressing ring (11) is arranged in the sealing ring (1) approximately centrically relative to the said recess so that the force of the stressing ring (11) is distributed over the two end portions of the sealing ring (1) defining the recess (2). Any dimensional deviations resulting from tolerances or temperature changes are compensated by smaller or greater deflection of the central portion of the sealing ring (1), without notable changes to the surface pressures encountered between the sealing ring (1) and the sealing surface (15) which are essential for the proper operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
Sealing ring structure comprising a sealing ring made of a tough-elastic plastic material fitted into the groove of one of two machine elements moving relative to each other, and a stressing ring made of a rubber-elastic material arranged between the said sealing ring and the bottom of the groove and loading the sealing ring in the radial direction, the axial extension of the said stressing ring being considerably smaller than that of the sealing ring and its axial position, relative to the sealing ring, being fixed by means of stops in such a manner that the sealing ring is loaded in the area of an edge, wherein that sealing surface of the said sealing ring which rests against the other machine component comprises an annular recess and the said stressing ring is arranged approximately centrically relative to the said recess.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
Sealing ring structure comprising a sealing ring made of a tough-elastic plastic material fitted into the groove of one of two machine elements moving relative to each other, and a stressing ring made of a rubber-elastic material arranged between the said sealing ring and the bottom of the groove and loading the sealing ring in the radial direction, the axial extension of the said stressing ring being considerably smaller than that of the sealing ring and its axial position, relative to the sealing ring, being fixed by means of stops in such a manner that the sealing ring is loaded in the area of an edge, wherein that sealing surface of the said sealing ring which rests against the other machine component comprises an annular recess and the said stressing ring is arranged approximately centrically relative to the said recess.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
Sealing ring structure according to claim 1, wherein the surface portions adjacent the said annular recess are of conical shape so that in the relaxed condition the said sealing ring is in contact with the other machine component by the edges adjacent its outer end faces.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
Sealing ring structure according to claim 1, wherein the said sealing ring is provided on its ends with webs projecting beyond the surface loaded by the said stressing ring and resting against the bottom of the said groove.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
Sealing ring structure according to claim 1, wherein the said groove receiving the said sealing ring and the said stressing ring is provided at its center with a recess which is engaged by the said stressing ring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
Sealing ring structure according to claim 2, wherein the said sealing ring is provided on its ends with webs projecting beyond the surface loaded by the said stressing ring and resting against the bottom of the said groove.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
Sealing ring structure according to claim 5, wherein the said groove receiving the said sealing ring and the said stressing ring is provided at its center with a recess which is engaged by the said stressing ring.
