Abstract
A vacuum tool designed to immobilize a part, including at least one sealing gasket and at least one groove in a bearing surface that is configured to at least partially receive the sealing gasket. The groove has a central slot and right- and left-hand gaps arranged on either side of the central slot. The sealing gasket has a lower portion cooperating with the central slot of the groove and an upper portion in contact with the part when in operation, and right- and left-hand flanges that are seated respectively in the right- and left-hand gaps. These flanges provide a better hold for the sealing gasket in the groove, notably in the curved sections thereof.
