Abstract

A detachable seal assembly for a pressurized constant process oven through which a flat filament is passed and which seals the oven against the environment surrounding the oven including a resilient aperture formed by opposed flaps which extend from a transverse portion in the direction of movement of the filament to sandwich the filament. Compression is provided to the seal assembly such that the friction of filament movement tends to stretch the flaps to seal the resilient aperture about the filament. The seal assembly includes a clamp to enable ready replacement to minimize process down time during replacement.
