Assembly and a method for providing in an opening sealing system
First Claim
1. A sealing assembly for providing a sealing in an opening through which at least one cable, pipe or duct extends, the assembly comprising:
- a transit-unit of a relatively inflexible material, wherein the transit-unit comprises at least one conduit extending in a longitudinal direction of the transit-unit, wherein the conduit is adapted to receive at least one of the at least one cable, pipe or duct, the transit-unit having an outer circumference having a first profile; and
an outer plug comprising at least two segmental longitudinal parts comprising a relatively elastic material as compared with the inflexible material of the transit-unit, wherein the outer plug has an inside having a second profile;
wherein, in an assembled condition of the assembly, the outer plug surrounds the transit-unit at the outer circumference thereof, wherein, in the assembled condition, the first profile and the second profile match each other such that movement of the transit-unit relative to the outer plug is inhibited in opposing first and second directions along the longitudinal direction.

Abstract
A sealing assembly for providing in an opening a sealing through which at least one cable, pipe or duct extends is disclosed. The assembly includes a transit-unit of a relatively inflexible material, wherein the transit-unit comprises one or a plurality of conduits extending in a longitudinal direction of the transit-unit. Each conduit is suitable for receiving at least one of the at least one cable, pipe or duct. A method for providing in an opening a sealing system through which at least one cable, pipe or duct extends is disclosed. The method includes providing a transit-unit of a relatively inflexible material, wherein the transit-unit comprises one or a plurality of conduits extending in a longitudinal direction of the transit-unit. Each conduit is suitable for receiving at least one of the at least one cable, pipe or duct.

13. A method for providing a sealing system in an opening through which at least one cable, pipe or duct extends, the method comprising:
-
providing a transit-unit of a relatively inflexible material, wherein the transit-unit comprises at least one conduit extending in a longitudinal direction of the transit-unit, wherein the at least one conduit is adapted to receive at least one of the at least one cable, pipe or duct, the transit-unit having an outer circumference which is provided with having a first profile; providing an outer plug comprising at least two segmental longitudinal parts comprising a relatively elastic material as compared with the inflexible material of the transit-unit, wherein the outer plug has an inside having a second profile; and providing for the at least one conduit a segmented inner plug comprising an elastic material as compared with the inflexible material of the transit-unit, adapted to sealingly fill a space in the at least one conduit between an inner circumferential wall of the at least one conduit and the at least one of the at least one cable, pipe or duct; wherein, in an assembled condition the outer plug surrounds the outer circumference of the transit-unit, wherein, in the assembled condition, the first and second profiles match each other such that movement of the transit-unit relative to the outer plug is inhibited in opposing first and second directions along the longitudinal direction, the method further comprising; putting the outer plug and the transit-unit in the assembled condition by positioning the outer plug such that it surrounds the transit-unit at the outer circumference; inserting the outer plug and the transit-unit in the assembled condition into the opening so that the transit-unit is clamped in the opening by the outer plug; passing the at least one of the at least one cable, pipe or duct through the at least one conduit; inserting in the at least one conduit the segmented inner plug for sealingly filling a space in the at least one conduit between an inner circumferential wall of the at least one conduit and the at least one of the at least one cable, pipe or duct extending therethrough. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 21)
