ABSTRACT:
The assembly is used with a support having a flat surface and formed with a bore extending generally parallel to but beneath the surface and with a passage extending from the bore to the surface, with a control element in the bore and pivotal therein about an axis generally parallel to the surface, and with a control rod projecting from the element through the passage beyond the surface. This rod is connected to the element and pivots therewith about the axis through an arc on pivoting of the element in the bore about the axis. The assembly comprises an elastomeric annular cuff having an inner periphery tightly engaging and secured against movement on the rod and an outer periphery engaging and slidable on the surface all around the passage and dimensioned to engage the surface all around the passage in any position of the rod. This cuff is prestressed generally parallel to the rod between its peripheries to press at the outer periphery against the surface. Thus as the rod pivots the periphery slides on the surface while remaining in sealing contact therewith. As a result a dust-tight seal is created which allows the rod to move very freely, either pivoting or rotating.
