The invention relates to a support ring arrangement for a high-pressure seal which is provided, along with said support ring arrangement, for an axially slidable or pivotable container closure ( ) mounted in a cylindrical section of a high-pressure container, said high-pressure seal radially sealing the cylindrical section of the high pressure container with the aid of said support ring arrangement, and a maximum pressure of up to 10,000 bar being exerted, by means of a fluid, onto said support ring arrangement and high-pressure seal. Said support ring arrangement comprises, when viewed from the fluid side, an axial fixture for the arrangement (6) a sealing ring (4) which lies on the container closure (1) and is radially prestressed, at least one support ring which has an end-face (7) on the side of the ring that is perpendicular to the container closure (1) axis, at least one support ring arrangement (8) being provided which consists of at least two moulded parts that are contoured so as to support one another, said moulded parts lying one against another and comprising, on the sides thereof that lie one against the other, conical counter faces (12) that are parallel to each other, and one of said parallel, conical counter surfaces (12) beginning at the end face (7).
