Abstract
A sealing installation mountable in the interior of a conduit. The installation includes a resilient connector sleeve having connector sealing assemblies at opposite ends of the sleeve. A first seal sleeve has seal sleeve sealing assemblies on opposite ends thereof has one seal sleeve sealing assembly engaging one of the connector sealing assemblies and the other seal sleeve sealing assembly in sealing contact with the interior of the conduit. A second seal sleeve has second seal sleeve sealing assemblies on opposite ends. One second seal sleeve sealing assembly engages a connector sealing assembly and the other seal sleeve sealing assembly is in sealing contact with the interior of the conduit.
Claims18
A sealing installation mounted in the interior of a conduit for internally sealing the conduit to prevent leakage therefrom including:
- a resilient connector sleeve having a continuous connector body with opposed ends, a connector sealing assembly formed integral with each end of the connector body, each connector sealing assembly being a substantial mirror image of the other connector sealing assembly, said connector sleeve being oriented with each connector sealing assembly extending inward toward the interior of the conduit, a first seal sleeve having a continuous seal sleeve body with opposed ends, a seal sleeve sealing assembly mounted on each end of the seal sleeve body, one of said seal sleeve sealing assemblies in sealing engagement with one of the connector sealing assemblies, the other seal sleeve sealing assembly in sealing engagement with the interior of the conduit, and a second seal sleeve having a resilient continuous second sleeve body with opposed ends, a second seal sleeve sealing assembly mounted on each end of the second seal sleeve body, one of the second seal sleeve assemblies in sealing engagement with the other of the connector sealing assemblies, and the other second seal sleeve sealing assembly in sealing engagement with the interior of the conduit.
A seal sleeve for sealing a conduit internally including;
- a continuous flat resilient body having opposed ends, a resilient sealing assembly formed integral with each end of the body, each sealing assembly being a substantial mirror image of the other sealing assembly, each sealing assembly including a plurality of continuous resilient sealing rings formed integral with one side of the body, each sealing ring having a cross section substantially identical to the cross section of each other sealing ring, and each sealing ring in each sealing assembly being spaced from each adjacent sealing ring in the same sealing assembly a distance sufficient to receive sealingly a like sealing ring between adjacent sealing rings in the same sealing assembly.
