Abstract
An improved sealing device has a base platform supporting at least an inner sealing member and an outer sealing member. The outer sealing member has a main body portion of substantially uniform thickness along its height, which is taller than the inner sealing member. The improved sealing device can be used to seal the edges of doors that close the opening of a comb-style rear frame of a container, especially wherein the doors are mounted on universal hinges. Each universal hinge has a leaf portion defining a plane surface disposed to face the exterior surface of the door. Each hinge also has an off-set rearward portion, a normal leg and a parallel leg, wherein the hinge is configured such that each of the plane surface of the leaf portion and the edge of the door is disposed in a particular relationship when the door is closed.
