Patent ID: 7780173

Claim:
A sealing assembly for forming a seal about an elongate object, the sealing assembly comprising: a) a resilient seal member including an inner wall surface defining a channel to receive the elongate object, the seal member having first and second opposed sides; b) a base member disposed on the second side of the seal member; c) a loading mechanism including: a first pressure member on the first side of the seal member; a second pressure member on the second side of the seal member and including a threaded portion; a biasing member on the second side of the seal member and interposed between the base member and the second pressure member; and an adjustable displacement mechanism including a threaded member that threadedly engages the threaded portion of the second pressure member and is rotatable relative to the base member and the second pressure member to axially displace the first and second pressure members relative to one another to selectively apply a compressive load to the seal member such that the inner wall surface is expanded inwardly to exert a sealing pressure on the elongate object; and d) an anti-rotation feature to limit rotation of the second pressure member relative to the base member while permitting relative axial displacement between the base member and the second pressure member.
