Linear joining and sealing device

A linear joining device comprising:

• a first receiver member providing a first closure surface thereon, the first closure surface providing a first linear cavity therein, the first closure surface communicating with the first linear cavity along a first linear aperture defined in the first closure surface;
• a second receiver member providing a second closure surface thereon, the second closure surface providing a second linear cavity therein, the second closure surface communicating with the second linear cavity along a second linear aperture defined in the second receiver member;
• the first and second closure surfaces being positionable for aligning the first and second linear apertures in mutual linearly corresponding adjacency;
• an elongate linear elastomeric sealing means engaged within the first and second linear cavities and extensive therebetween;
• the sealing means providing a first and a second mutually parallel linear channels therein, the linear channels responsive to fluid pressure for expanding the sealing means within the linear cavities, the first linear channel responsive to fluid pressure for engaging the sealing means within the first linear cavity and the second linear channel responsive to fluid pressure for engaging the sealing means within the second linear cavity so as to enable the first and second receiver members to be disengagably mechanically joined;
• the sealing means further comprising an exterior surface layer of a structural material, the exterior surface layer being integral with an exterior surface of the sealing means, a linear means for flexing comprises a plurality of linear grooves so as to enable the exterior surface layer to flex with the sealing means.
