Abstract
A sealing device for a cavity into which a wire is inserted, the sealing device including an elastic sealing member which sealingly engages the inner surface of the cavity and the outer surface of the wire so as to prevent entrance of water into the cavity, and a rigid retainer associated with the sealing member and engaging the cavity so that, when the wire is bent transversely, deformation of the sealing member is substantially prevented and the integrity of the seal is maintained. This sealing device reliably prevents entrance of water, even if water is sprayed thereon at high pressure.
