Claims17
A seal for installation of a rectangular panel on a supporting structure of a glove box, the seal comprising:
- a first contact face and a second contact face parallel to each other and designed to come into contact with a profile of the glove box supporting structure and against an internal face of the panel;
- an internal circumferential edge provided with a rim projecting beyond the first contact face;
- and
- an external circumferential edge prolonged by a skirt extending perpendicular to the second contact face projecting beyond the second contact face to surround and clamp the edge of the panel around its entire circumference, and the skirt is terminated by a perpendicular rim that is perpendicular to the skirt, the skirt extends in a straight line from the second contact face to an inner face of the perpendicular rim, and a bottom face of the skirt is planar and, when the skirt is horizontal, the bottom face of the skirt is the bottommost edge of the seal,
- wherein the internal circumferential edge is positioned at a first end of the first contact face and the second contact face and the external circumferential edge is positioned at a second end of the first contact face and the second contact face such that the first contact face and the second contact face extend between the internal circumferential edge and the external circumferential edge.
