(under subclass 312) Process of static sealing wherein the sealing means has a flexible wall member to accommodate relatively movable parts allowing static contact sealing against the parts.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
389, for a relatively rotatable radially extending sealing face member (e.g., face, mechanical, etc.) including fluid pressure acting against a bellows or diaphragm to create an axial bias therefor.
391+, for a relatively rotatable, radially extending, sealing face member (e.g., face, mechanical, etc.) including a flexible sleeve, boot, or diaphragm to provide a secondary seal or driving connection therefor.
504, for a dynamic, circumferential contact seal for other than a piston that accommodates gyratory or oscillatory motion by using a flexible connection having static contact between the seal and one of the relatively movable parts.
634+, for a static contact flexible sleeve, boot, or
diaphragm seal for other than an internal combustion engine, or a pipe, conduit, or cable.
