Patent ID: 7261514

Claim:
A sealing arrangement two bodies, with two end faces which extend along a longitudinal axis, and adjoin one another while forming a gap, the width of which can vary between zero and a maximum width, and in which the gap is covered by a sealing strip which lies transversely to the gap, extends along the longitudinal axis and is mounted with clearance in two opposite grooves of a predetermined depth which are incorporated transversely to the gap in the end faces of the bodies, the sealing strip comprises a basic width transverse to the longitudinal axis less than or equal to twice the depth of the grooves the sealing strip further comprising lugs which are arranged in a distributed manner on the longitudinal sides of the sealing strip, are defined in the direction of the longitudinal axis and locally increase the transverse width of the sealing strip beyond the basic width by a predetermined additional transverse width which prevent the sealing strip from slipping out of the grooves if the sum of the maximum width of the gap and the depth of the grooves is greater than or equal to the basic width of the sealing strip.
