Abstract
A gasket for sealing between a wall and a gasket support surface, such as between an oven housing and an oven door. The gasket includes a clip, the clip typically being made from a single strand of wire. The wire is bent into a head and a base, the base for engaging the gasket and head dimensioned for engagement with a wall for a support surface.
Claims19
A clip for an elongated gasket-like member having a mesh core and a woven sheath around the mesh core, the woven sheath comprised of a multiplicity strands, the clip comprising:
- a head having an apex, a pair of shoulders and a neck, the clip having a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a base attached to the head, the base comprising at least one coil course, the coil course having a plane and an interior space defined by a base perimeter, the longitudinal axis of the head extending perpendicular from the interior space of the coil course in a first direction to the plane of the coil course, the first direction above the plane of the coil course;
- wherein the base further includes a tail, the tail depending from the plane of the base in a second direction, the second direction generally below the plane of the coil course, the clip comprising a single resilient wire having a first end and a second end, the second end of the resilient wire comprising the tail.
