    Abstract: The sealing strip (4) comprises an anchoring section (5) to which is connected a tubular sealing section (6) which is intended to interact with the door (D). The sealing section (6) has a plurality of vent openings (15) adapted to allow the venting towards the outside of the air contained therein when said sealing strip (6) is squeezed by the closing of the door (D). The sealing section also has a cross section adapted to apply to the door (D), when the latter is closed, an increased contact pressure over the entire part of the strip (4) which is to be applied to the upper portion (3a) of said edge (3) of the opening (2) with which the door (D) is associated, and a reduced contact pressure on the parts which are to be applied to the lower (3b) and side portions (3c, 3d) of said edge (3).
