Single-piece sealing cover
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a single-pieced sealing cover ( 1 ) made of a thermoplastic elastomer, especially used to seal an opening ( 22,22′, 22 ″), comprising a base body ( 5 ) with an adjacent peripheral collar ( 7 ) which turns into at least one elastic sealing lip adjacent to one side of a carrier ( 10, 10 ′). The collar ( 7 )comprises at least one detent ring ( 12 ) located opposite the at least one sealing lip ( 10, 10 ′).The invention is characterized in that the collar ( 7 ) is connected to the sealing lip ( 10, 10 ′) by means of an intermediate area ( 14 ) extending parallel to a covering surface (F) of the carrier ( 20, 20′, 20 ″), whereupon the detent ring ( 12 ) protrudes into an inner area ( 21 ) formed by the intermediate area ( 14 ) and the sealing lip ( 10, 10 ′) and an outer area of the sealing lip ( 10, 10 ′) can be glued to the covering surface (F) of the carrier ( 20, 20′, 20 ″).
1. A single-piece sealing cover made of a thermoplastic elastomer for sealing an opening in an associated support, the sealing cover comprising a base body with an adjacent peripheral collar, at least one elastic sealing lip having an outer surface and abutting against one side of the associated support, the collar presenting at least one detent ring located opposite the sealing lip, the collar being connected with the sealing lip via an intermediate area, wherein the detent ring includes an outer surface which protrudes into an interior space formed by the intermediate area and the sealing lip and further includes an impact lip at one end and an area adjacent the impact lip, the intermediate area extends parallel to a covering surface of the support, and an outer area of the sealing lip is connected with the covering surface of the associated support by means of several serrated ribs, the ribs being aligned with each other so that they have the same orientation and extend only within a volume of space defined between opposed inner and outer side walls of the sealing lip.
2. The sealing cover according to claim 1 , wherein the detent ring lies in the plane of the base body.
3. The sealing cover according to claim 1 wherein the outer surfaces of the sealing lip and the detent ring are inclined towards each other.
4. The sealing cover according to claim 3 , wherein said area of the detent ring has the same inclination as the outer surface of the sealing lip.
5. The sealing cover of claim 1 wherein the ribs have the same shape.
6. The sealing cover of claim 1 wherein the ribs have an identical size.
