A joint structure for transmitting fluid therethrough and having a rotary, hollow sleeve comprised of two sections, each section being journalled in a bushing supported in a stationary casing surrounding the sleeve sections. The adjacent free ends of the sleeve sections are telescopically interfitted for relative axial movement and keyed to each other for unitary rotation. A sealing ring is axially slidably mounted on each sleeve section and urged into engagement with an adjacent sealing surface provided on the housing by forces acting in a direction compressing the sealing rings for providing a rotary joint structure having an extended service life.
