Abstract:
A valve stem seal assembly has an elastomeric seal with first and second radially inwardly directed sealing lips that are in intimate sealing contact with a valve stem. The assembly also has a metal seal retainer with a first metal seal retainer portion that has a surface axially slanted inward and downward from a top of the elastomeric seal. This slanted portion forms a metal frustoconical foundation with a second metal seal retainer portion that directly radially extends from the metal frustoconical foundation. The axially slanted inward surface of the metal retainer is directly radially outward from the radially inwardly directed first sealing lip.

Claim (Index 14):
The valve stem seal assembly, of  claim 13 , wherein the elastomeric seal has an axially inwardly slanted surface that is angled inward starting from an outer upper edge of the retainer to an inner groove G of the retainer, and then extends through a flat F area radially from the inner groove; and\n wherein the axially inwardly slanted surface extends continuously circumferentially about the retainer, so that the frustoconical foundation isolates the upper portion of the elastomer seal that is above the lips from the lower portion of the elastomeric seal that is below the lips.
