ABSTRACT:
The means comprise a housing for a seal defined as a generally cup-shaped retainer, the wall of which is resiliently compressible in order that the retainer might be pressed into a cartridge or housing to retain a seal therewithin, in which the outer surface of the wall of the retainer has an annular lip which snaps into engagement with an annular groove formed therefor in the housing. The use of a plurality of the seal housing means, in stacked relationship, for sealing along a shaft or the like, provides an optimum spacing of the retained seals lengthwise of the shaft.
