Claim 8:
9. An assembly, comprising:
a setting rod;
a setting sleeve positioned around the setting rod;
a mandrel coupled to the setting rod and defining a seat;
a cone having a tapered outer surface, positioned around the mandrel, and in axial engagement with the setting sleeve, wherein the mandrel defines a shoulder that engages an inner surface of the cone so as to transmit an axial force thereto;
a slips assembly positioned around the cone, wherein the cone advancing into the slips assembly presses the slips assembly radially outward, and wherein the setting rod is configured to release from the mandrel in response to the slips assembly anchoring into a surrounding tubular;
a sealing ring positioned around the cone and in axial engagement with the slips assembly, such that advancing the cone into the slips assembly causes the slips assembly to apply an axial force to the sealing ring, wherein advancing the cone into the slips assembly also advances the cone axially through the sealing ring and presses the sealing ring radially outward, wherein the sealing ring comprises a base material and a sealing element;
an anti-seal ring positioned around the cone and axially adjacent to the sealing ring, such that the sealing ring is axially between the anti-seal ring and the slips assembly; and
an obstructing member that is entrained between the setting rod and the mandrel during run-in, the obstructing member being configured to engage the seat of the mandrel, to block fluid communication through the mandrel.
