Abstract
A seal integrated into a groove of a button. The seal includes a cross-section with a peak surrounded by a valley on each side of the peak. The valleys both extend below the outer surface of the midsection of the button and the peak extends above the outer surface. This structure allows for easier compression of the seal while performing the sealing function.
