Abstract

A cap sleeve is composed of a cap member having an open end receiving a seal member with a sealing system. The sealing system includes the seal member acting with a second member to form a sealing chamber for receiving a sealing ring and an arrangement for moving the seal member relative to the other member to reduce the volume of a sealing channel receiving the sealing ring to cause an outward radial deformation of the sealing ring into contact with an inner surface of the cap member to form a seal therebetween.
