  • Patent number: 9447628
    Abstract: Elongated, flexible polymer gasket include a tubular flexible polymer material body, a hollow chamber within the body extending uniformly the length of the body, and a plurality of individual openings through the sidewall forming the body and spaced apart from one another along its length. Each further includes a plurality of individual spring clip fasteners, each a length of metal wire bent to form an elongated, generally planar base portion with opposing major sides and an elongated, engagement portion extending transversely away from one of the opposing major sides. The maximum width dimensions of the base and engagement portions being greater than a maximum nominal dimension of the opening whereby the each individual spring clip member is captured in a separate one of the openings with the base portion within the hollow chamber and the engagement portion projecting traversely away from the base portion and the body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7124540
    Abstract: A sealing device includes an elongated sealing member and a plurality of fasteners spacedly mounted along the sealing member. The sealing member includes a tubular heat sealing layer and a tubular supporting frame, having a flexible ability, coaxially received in the heat sealing layer and defining a deformable channel within the supporting frame. Each of the fasteners has a retention base disposed within the deformable channel and a engagement head outwardly extended from the retention base through the supporting frame and the heat sealing layer in such a manner that the supporting frame and the heat sealing layer are sandwiched between the retention base of each of the fasteners and the engagement head thereof, so as to retain the supporting frame within the heat sealing layer in position.
