Publication number: 20130097937Abstract: A flexible, closed loop, closure gasket includes an elongated body having a resiliently flexible wall between opposing ends. The wall is formed by a resiliently flexible, core surrounded by a flexible outer jacket of interwoven glass fiber yarns. The opposing ends are brought together in a permanent joint formed by an permanent fastener-less physical bond between the opposing ends to provide the continuous closed loop. The gasket is typically mounted between a door and a cabinet or other housing of a device subject to modest to moderate heating and/or potential internal fire or explosion, like a home clothes dryer, certain ovens and trash compactors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2012Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicant: Davlyn Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventor: Davlyn Manufacturing Company, Inc.

Patent number: 7735836Abstract: A hollow oven gasket has a flexible tubular member with tubular wall and fasteners in the form of clips that are captured within and extend through the wall. First and second free ends of a length of the gasket material are brought together in a termination to form a closed loop gasket member. The first end of the device is at least partially collapsed to form a male end. The second opposing end is left uncollapsed to form a female end. The male end is received within the female end to form a joint held together by engagement of the clips adjoining the joint with an oven face surrounding an oven mouth or an oven door.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2006Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Davlyn Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventor: James J. Bono, Jr.

Publication number: 20030213181Abstract: A gasket-like device includes an elongated core, an outer jacket of glass fiber yarns, woven, preferably braided, entirely around and along the core. Each of the glass fiber yarns has an outer surface exposed to view with a polymeric resin coating in an amount sufficient to at least cover essentially all of an outer surface of each yarn exposed on the device and insufficient to obscure the plurality of individual glass fiber yarns from one another in the outer jacket. The outer covering may be coated with a colored polymeric resin to produce a desired exterior color. In a described embodiment for self-cleaning ovens, a plurality of individual fasteners are spaced along the device. Each fastener includes a base captured within the outer jacket and an engagement portion extending outwardly from the base through the outer jacket. A method of manufacturing and coloring the gasket-like device is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2002Publication date: November 20, 2003Applicant: Davlyn Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventor: Thomas L. Weil

Patent number: 6533289Abstract: A improvement to a gasket that includes an elongated seamless tubular member formed from at least a plurality of interwoven glass fiber yarn ends and a plurality of spring clip fasteners spaced along the tubular member, each fastener including a base located within the tubular member and an engagement portion extending outwardly through the tubular member away from the base. The free ends of the tubular member are coupled together at a joint so that the elongated tubular member forms a closed loop. A second tubular member is positioned around the joint, concealing the joint. The second tubular member may include one or more fasteners each having a base located between the elongated tubular member and the second tubular member and an engagement portion extending outwardly through the second tubular member away from the elongated tubular member. The second tubular member may be composed of at least a second plurality of glass fiber yarns interwoven together or a corrugated metal tube.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Davlyn Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: James J. Bono, Jr., Thomas L. Weil
