-1- SEAL ASSEMBLY ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A groove in one of a pair of members to be associated in a sealed connection receives a flexible seal having one endprojecting through the opening of the groove for sealing engagement with the other member. An intermediate portion of the seal is sinuous-like in shape whereby upon being subjected to pressure from one side it is urged toward a straightened condition to increase the sealing engagement. In one construction of the invention, the sealing end of the seal has an enlarged head which provides a widened sealing surface and also insures-against blowout. Fluid escape ports are provided in the sealing end to prevent pressure build-up on the low pressure side of the seal. The side walls of the seal-containing groove may be sub- stantially parallel in one embodiment and in another embodiment may have a contour assuming roughly the shape of the sinuous-like seal portion.
