ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a valve and seal assembly comprising a valve body having a movable core housed therein adapted to allow the flow of material through the valve to be interrupted, and means for sealing the core and body so as to prevent leakage. The valve is sealed against leakage through the cooperation of a pair of O rings disposed at opposite ends of the rotatable member and metal bars extending axially between these O rings and engaging portions of the core and body. The metal bars are retained in grooves provided in either the core or body and are surrounded by a layer of resilient material on three sides thereof which urge the exposed metal portion out of these grooves and into a sealing engagement with the opposing core or body surface and also prevent material flowing through the valve from entering the grooves. A similar seal in the form of a ring is also contemplated for use in sealing a rotating shaft.
