1. An assembly, comprising:
a cone having a tapered outer surface;
a setting sleeve that engages the cone;
a slips assembly positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone;
a mandrel received through the cone and the slips assembly, wherein the mandrel defines a seat therein, and a shoulder that engages an inner surface of the cone so as to transmit an axial force thereto;
a setting rod that engages the mandrel and is configured to release therefrom in response to the slips assembly anchoring into a surrounding tubular;
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;
a sealing ring positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone, wherein the sealing ring comprises a base material and a sealing element coupled to the base material, and wherein the slips assembly directly engages the sealing ring, such that the slips assembly is configured to transmit a setting force to the sealing ring, which moves the sealing ring on the tapered outer surface of the cone and expands the sealing ring radially outward;
an anti-seal ring positioned adjacent to the sealing ring and around the cone, wherein the anti-seal ring is driven along the tapered outer surface of the cone by engagement with the sealing ring; and
a mule shoe coupled to the mandrel and configured to press axially against the slips assembly, to move the slips assembly, the sealing ring, and the anti-seal ring axially with respect to the cone.
