Abstract
An improved seal for closing the space between a pipe and the wall of an opening through which it passes, using a linear extrusion of elastomeric material, of predetermined length to form a gasket. The extrusion has a hollow, pear-shaped head formed integrally with a T-shaped anchoring flange. It is curled into the form of a right cylinder, and its mating ends are vulcanized together. The pear-shaped portion is deflected radially inwardly and the T-shaped anchoring flange outwardly, the latter being then embedded in concrete used to wall the opening for the pipe. The pear-shaped portion is free in space and provides a pneumatic cushion for the pipe.
