Abstract

Abstract A composite, one-piece member defining an edge gasket for a container door as well as a dynamic closure seal with an adjacent door frame is disclosed. An elongated channel portion of the member is composed of a relatively rigid plastic, and is adhesively secured to an edge portion of the door. First and second dynamic sealing means are integrally formed with the channel portion, spaced laterally from one another and directed oppositely to the channel leg portions. The first sealing member is composed of an elongated leg or lip portion while the second sealing member is composed of a hollow and resilient member integrally formed with the channel member. The first and second sealing members effect first and second spaced and independent seals with the container door.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 234 words
A composite member adapted to define an edge gasket for a container door or the like as well as a dynamic closure seal with a member adjacent to said door, said composite member comprising: edge gasket means including an elongated channel member, of a relatively rigid plastic material, having a pair of opposed leg portions adapted for securely receiving an edge portion of said container door intermediate said opposed leg portions; first dynamic sealing means, of a relatively pliable plastic material, comprising a first sealing member composed of an elongated leg portion integrally formed with said channel member and directed oppositely to said channel leg portions; second dynamic sealing means, of a relatively pliable plastic material similar to said first dynamic sealing means, comprising a second sealing member composed of a hollow and resilient member integrally formed with said channel member, spaced laterally from said first sealing member and directed oppositely to said channel leg portions, said second dynamic sealing means further including an elongate, flexible and resilient tubular insert member disposed within said hollow member for providing further resilience for said second dynamic sealing means; said hollow member being partially removed to expose the tubular insert in order to provide an adequate seal along corners of said edge gasket, and said first and second sealing members being constructed and arranged for effecting first and second spaced and independent seals with said container door.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 234 words
A composite member adapted to define an edge gasket for a container door or the like as well as a dynamic closure seal with a member adjacent to said door, said composite member comprising: edge gasket means including an elongated channel member, of a relatively rigid plastic material, having a pair of opposed leg portions adapted for securely receiving an edge portion of said container door intermediate said opposed leg portions; first dynamic sealing means, of a relatively pliable plastic material, comprising a first sealing member composed of an elongated leg portion integrally formed with said channel member and directed oppositely to said channel leg portions; second dynamic sealing means, of a relatively pliable plastic material similar to said first dynamic sealing means, comprising a second sealing member composed of a hollow and resilient member integrally formed with said channel member, spaced laterally from said first sealing member and directed oppositely to said channel leg portions, said second dynamic sealing means further including an elongate, flexible and resilient tubular insert member disposed within said hollow member for providing further resilience for said second dynamic sealing means; said hollow member being partially removed to expose the tubular insert in order to provide an adequate seal along corners of said edge gasket, and said first and second sealing members being constructed and arranged for effecting first and second spaced and independent seals with said container door.
