ABSTRACT:
Internal sleeve seal for sealing pipelines by inserting into the pipeline a tube-like collar member of pliable but not necessarily elastic material having locating means preferably in the form of dovetail seals on either end, positioning the seal with two ring cushions of elastic gumlike material located in annular recessed portions on the collar member located on either side of the portion of the pipeline to be sealed, and radially enlarging the collar member at the recessed portions to urge the ring cushions into sealing contact with the interior surfaces of the pipe while confining the ring cushions to the depressions between axially parallel annular surfaces on the collar member defining the recessed portions to effectively seal the pipe between the ring cushions and the portion of the collar member therebetween. Preferably, the ring cushions are attached to the recessed portions by vulcanized portions, and include an annular groove at the outer portion of the ring cushions to minimize contact with the pipeline when positioning the seal.
