Abstract
A seal for preventing the flow of fluid under high pressure, between a carrier and a mating element adapted to engage the carrier is provided by a resilient elastomeric sealing element which is disposed in an arcuate groove in the carrier and deformed when the carrier is joined to the mating element. The sealing element has a base with oppositely extending wings and a head with a convex surface that is engaged by the mating element for deflecting the head within the groove.
