Abstract
A gasket able to ensure static imperviousness between two parts one being fixed with respect to the other and possibly having surface irregularities and forming a joint housing which is not easily accessible. It generally has a flexible strip (2) formed by two elements (2I, 2E) each having one extremity (7I, 7E). The mechanical behavior of the gasket is ensured by a wire core (3), such a helical spring possibly surrounded by an internal casing (4). An external rigid casing formed of two portions (5E, 5I) advantageously completes this gasket while leaving the extremities (7E, 7I) free.
