Gaskets

A kit of gaskets comprising at least one web of dry joint grade gasket material, which web comprises (1) a plurality of gasket parts and (2) a plurality of parts serving as packaging material, the respective parts (1) and (2) being defined by cuts which extend completely through the web and along respective peripheries of the gasket parts but which cuts terminate so as to retain interconnecting regions securing the gasket parts in position in the web, whereby the gasket parts are capable of being pushed out of the web and thereby separated therefrom, at least two of the gasket parts defining respective gasket segments, each segment being profiled at each end thereof to provide interengaging members for enabling assembly of the gasket segments, after being pushed out from the web into a gasket, and each segment, when retained in the web, being disposed so that respective end portions of respective gasket segments are in generally overlapping relationship so as to define a region of the web generally surrounded by the gasket segments, the remaining gasket parts being present within the said region of the web and at least some of the remaining gasket parts nesting essentially within one another.
