Abstract
A seal is provided for sealing an aperture in an object through which aperture one or more elongate articles extends. The seal includes a first support member having at least one longitudinally extending channel adapted to accommodate and support an elongate article. A second support member is longitudinally spaced from the first support member. The second support member has at least one longitudinally extending channel corresponding to that of the first support member and a sealing member is positioned between the first and second support members. An elongate article may thus be accommodated within the longitudinal extending channel of the first support member so as to extend through the corresponding channel on the second support member while deforming sealing member.
