Claim:
1. A sealing structure for sealing first and second components of a device in combination with the first and the second components of the device, the second component being removable from the first component to gain access to an interior of the device, the combination comprising: the sealing structure and the first and the second components of the device; the sealing structure comprising: the sealing structure preventing fluid and debris from entering the interior; wherein the first component is a housing having a planar surface and the second component is a cover having a first planar surface, and a second planar surface disposed transversely with respect to the first planar surface, such that when the cover is secured to the housing with the sealing structure disposed between the planar surface of the housing and the first planar surface of the cover, 1) the axial seal portion is compressed axially, defining an axial seal against the first planar surface, 2) the radial seal portion is compressed radially, defining a radial seal against the second planar surface, and 3) the lip seal portion is compressed to define a lip seal against the first planar surface; wherein the axial seal portion, the lip seal portion, and the first planar surface define a void therebetween.
