Claim 9:
10. A rigid gasket segment for inhibiting separation of a pair of joined pipes comprising:
a spigot tooth with a spigot tooth vertices,
a plurality of bell teeth including a first tooth with a first tooth vertices, a second tooth with a second tooth vertices, a third tooth with a third tooth vertices, and a fourth tooth with a fourth tooth vertices, and
a first length defined between the spigot tooth vertices and the first tooth vertices, a second length defined between the spigot tooth vertices and the second tooth vertices, a third length defined between the spigot tooth vertices and the third tooth vertices, and a fourth length defined between the spigot tooth vertices and the fourth tooth vertices, the second length being greater than the first length, the third length being greater than the second length and the fourth length being greater than the third length,
wherein the first length extends along a first plane, the second length extends along a second plane, the third length extends along a third plane and the fourth length extends along a fourth plane, the first plane intersecting the second plane at angle of about 12°, the third plane intersecting the first plane at an angle of about 24° and the fourth plane intersecting the first plane at an angle of about 36°.
