  • Patent number: 6550775
    Abstract: An annular gasket for providing a fluid-tight seal between a corrugated pipe and a smooth annular section of a second member. The gasket includes a support portion and a gasket portion. The support portion is made from a first material having a first hardness. The support portion includes an anchor portion shaped to fit within a recess or groove in a first member and a tip portion that extends radially outward from the anchor portion. The gasket portion is made from a softer elastomeric material. The gasket portion is disposed on the tip portion. The gasket portion is configured to make sealing contact with a ridge of the first pipe and the smooth annular section when the first pipe and the smooth annular section are in a relative surrounded and surrounding relationship.

  • Patent number: 6336640
    Abstract: A compressible annular gasket for providing a fluid-tight seal between a first tubular member having an annular groove and an adjacent ridge and a smooth annular section of a second tubular member when the first tubular member and the smooth annular section are in a relative surrounding and surrounded relationship. The compressible annular gasket includes an anchor portion adapted to be disposed in the annular groove and an elongated portion adapted to extend across the adjacent ridge when the anchor portion is disposed in an adjacent groove. The elongated portion makes contact with the annular section when the first tubular member and the smooth annular section are in a relative surrounded and surrounding relationship.
