Adjustable resilient seal with bendable bulb portions

A resilient seal for living quarters having main living area walls defining a main living area, an aperture in one of said main living area walls slidably receiving a slide out room having slide out room walls defining auxiliary living space, said one main living area wall having an outside surface, an inside surface, and a transverse surface extending between the inside and outside surfaces, said transverse surface defining said aperture, said seal comprising;

• a pair of attaching members extending along said one main living area wall adjacent to said aperture, each said attaching member including a bulb portion flexibly attached thereto by an offsetting member, said bulb portions including an outer arcuate portion facing away from its corresponding attaching member, said arcuate portion integrally connected to an inner wall being adjacent to and spaced from said mounting member, and said inner wall of each said bulb portion being substantially parallel to said mounting member for the majority of its length, said arcuate portion and said inner wall being integrally joined so that said bulb portions are hollow;
• a connecting member extending between said attaching members and along said transverse surface, said connecting member including an adjuster for adjusting the distance between the attaching members, said adjuster includes an accordion pleat defined between first and second parallel score lines defining a pair of corresponding fold lines, and a third score line defining a third fold line between and extending parallel to said first and second score lines;
• said bulb portion pivotable about said offsetting member between a resting position and an installation position, said resting position defined by said inner wall relatively close to said attachment member, said installation position defined by said inner wall relatively far from said attachment member.

A resilient seal for mobile living quarters having main living area walls defining a main living area, an aperture in one of said main living area walls slidably receiving a slide out room having slide out room walls defining auxiliary living space, said one main living area wall having an outside surface, an inside surface, and a transverse surface extending between the inside and outside surfaces, said transverse surface defining said aperture, said seal being;

• a unitary seal having opposing attachment members connected at a first terminal end by an adjuster, said attachment members and said adjuster formed from a relatively high durometer material, each of said attachment members having an offsetting member extending substantially perpendicularly at a second terminal end of said attachment member opposite said first terminal end, said offsetting member formed from a relatively low durometer and integrally connecting a bulb sealing portion of a substantially same durometer;
• said bulb sealing portion including an outer arcuate portion facing away from its corresponding attachment member, said arcuate portion integrally connected to an inner wall being adjacent to and spaced from said attachment member, and said inner wall of each said bulb portion being substantially parallel to said attachment member for the majority of its length, said arcuate portion and said inner wall being integrally joined so that said bulb portions are hollow;
• said bulb portion including a protrusion located between said inner wall and said arcuate portion at a point opposite said offsetting member, said attachment member having a rib extending substantially perpendicular therefrom toward said protrusion;
• a wiper seal extending substantially coplanar to said attachment member and formed from a lower durometer material.
