Abstract
Gaskets suitable for high temperature use and having applicability for sealing oven doors are provided. The gaskets are interbraided from a wire such as stainless steel and a thermally insulating yarn formed, for example, from spun glass fibers. Continuous wireforms having spaced apart protrusions are retained in place within the openings formed by the wires and provide for attachment of the gaskets to apertures in a surface. The gaskets are manufactured on a circular braider with approximately 1/3 of the carriers being loaded with wires and 2/3 of the carriers being loaded with glass fiber yarn. The gaskets are characterized by an absence of an inner resilient support structure. Gaskets of the so called 'tadpole' type comprised of interbraided glass fiber yarn and wire are also disclosed.
