  • Patent number: 5289658
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing a seal between two surfaces. Gaskets in accordance with the invention provide efficient and economical devices to seal spaces between two surfaces. The gaskets comprise frames for providing a rigid substrate to the gasket which are formed into a shape substantially conforming to a shape of one of the surfaces, clips interfaced to the frame for securing the gasket between the two surfaces, the clips being interfaced to the frame in a corresponding relationship to a receiving aperture in one of the surfaces adapted to fixedly hold the clips, thereby securing the gasket between the two surfaces, and resilient members fitted over the frame such that the frame resides in an interior space of the resilient member and the clips extend outwardly through the resilient member to be engaged with the receiving aperture for filling the space between the two surfaces and for ensuring that the gasket adequately seals the space between the two surfaces.
