SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This gasket invention is uniquely
proportioned to improve its sealing properties for use with fluidtight
doors and hatches. The gasket is particularly long lived and resists
high temperature damage, a significant safety feature. Because the
gasket resists hardening and cracking, it requires far less replacement
maintenance. The gasket, made of silicone rubber, is softer and
therefore easier to install, providing a substantial cost saving over
traditional neoprene gaskets. The invention covers a variety of
fluidtight door gasket technologies and technical arts as well as other
applications, including watertight electrical enclosures.
Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209, 37 CFR Part 404.
