embodiment illustrated in fig4 can include a circumferential groove 80 adapted to receive the seal 44 it will also be seen that the axially facing surface 50 can be provided on a slight circumferential projection on the static seal carrying member 42 once again this facilitates bonding the seal 44 to the annular sealing ring 36 and the static seal carrying member 42 in a stable fashion also the embodiment illustrated in fig1 through 3 can be formed in a related fashion it will be seen that the outwardly facing annular surface 30 can be provided with a radial undercut to receive the seal 28 as before this facilitates bonding the seal 28 to the annular sealing ring 22 and the static seal carrying member 26 in a stable fashion particularly considering the shear force applied to the seal 28 see fig3 while not previously discussed it will be seen that the mating annular sealing rings 12 46 and 70 can be provided with suitable circumferential grooves accommodating o rings in conventional fashion it will also be seen that the static seal carrying member 26 can include both a radially extending portion 26a and an axially extending portion 26b adapted to cooperate with other structure of a device such as the turbine 18 including a retaining ring 84 that can be welded to the housing of the turbine 18 as could either of the other embodiments alternatively any of the embodiments can be formed as self contained cartridges adapted to be welded directly into a housing as for the seals 28 44 76 and 78 all of which are formed of elastomeric material they can be bonded to the.
