Patent ID: 6994354

Claim:
A gasket adapted for sealing between a first member and a second member, the gasket comprising: a first sealing portion including a first elastomeric portion generally surrounding a first flange portion, said first elastomeric portion being adapted to be in sealing engagement with the first member; a second sealing portion including a second elastomeric portion generally surrounding a second flange portion, said second elastomeric portion being adapted to be in sealing engagement with the second member, and spaced from the first sealing portion, said first and second flange portions and said first and second elastomeric portions of said first and second sealing portions including a plurality of axially aligned pairs of apertures each adapted to receive a single fastening device extending between the first and second members and through each of said pairs of apertures, one of said first and second members being fixed relative to said fastening device, and the other of said first and second members being slidably moveable relative to said fastening device to accommodate vibrational relative movement between said first and second members; and an elastic arm sealingly connecting the first sealing portion to the second sealing portion, with the elastic arm being in a less than fully compressed state and a less than fully expanded state between the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion, whereby the gasket is adapted to allow the first member to be generally vibrationally decoupled from the second member.
