Bushing and gasket assembly

A bushing and gasket assembly adapted to be mounted on a container containing an electrical mechanism, the container including a wall having an outer surface and having therethrough a bore, said assembly comprising a bushing including a contact adapted to be connected to the electrical mechanism, a portion adapted to extend through the bore, and a surface adapted to face the outer surface of the wall and having therein an endless recess, said recess surrounding said portion and having a volume, said bushing also including opposed, radially inner and outer surfaces partially defining said recess, said radially inner surface having a shape, and said assembly also comprising an endless gasket located in said recess, surrounding said portion, engaging said inner and outer surfaces when said gasket is uncompressed, having a volume when said gasket is uncompressed that is less than said volume of said recess, and having a radially inner surface which engages said radially inner surface of said bushing and which has a shape that is different from said shape of said radially inner surface of said bushing.
