Abstract:
An elongate sealing profile, adapted to be inserted in a receptacle of a closure, comprising:a sealing section extending over substantially an entire length of said sealing profile; and a holding section joined together with said sealing section over substantially the entire length of said sealing profile, said holding section being adapted to be at least partly engaged in said receptacle when inserted therein; said holding section including means, disposed on opposite sides of the holding section such that a portion of the holding section is disposed therebetween, for assisting sliding insertion of the holding section into the receptacle along an insertion axis in a direction transverse to the length of the sealing profile and for forming a clamping bridge which creates a clamping pressure force transverse to the insertion axis to resist removal of the holding section from the receptacle by compressing the portion of the holding section when a tensile force, in a direction opposite to the insertion direction, tending to remove said profile from said receptacle is applied, said clamping bridge is adapted to create a sealing fit with the receptacle, said portion of the holding section comprising a web portion made of a resilient material.
