Abstract
A seal assembly includes first and second annular members which reside in axial juxtaposition to be carried by one of a pair of coaxially movable components for sealingly engaging the other of the pair of components. Each of the members is severed by an end gap along a slanted line which is angularly disposed to intercept a radial line of each respective member, with the slanted lines and the radial lines parallel to a plane defined by the radial surfaces of the respective annular members.
