June 19, 2025
A seal assembly is disclosed. The seal assembly may include a seal with a seal body. The seal body may include a seal bottom surface and a cavity along a lengthwise direction of the seal body. The seal assembly may include a fastener with a shank disposed along an axis, a stem protruding up from the shank and disposed along the axis, and an anchor coupled to the stem. The anchor may include one or more anchor arms, each with a pivot and coupled to an arm lever located at a distal end of the fastener. Each anchor arm may be configured to rotate around the pivot between an uncoupled position and a coupled position upon application of a longitudinal force to the arm lever, causing an extendable portion of the anchor arm to rotate radially outwards relative to the axis.
