Abstract
A downhole tool includes a cone having a tapered outer surface, a slip assembly positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone, and a sealing ring positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone. The slip assembly directly engages the sealing ring, such that the slip assembly is configured to transmit a setting force directly onto the sealing ring, which moves the sealing ring on the tapered outer surface of the cone and expands the sealing ring radially outward.
