Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sealing member including a main body having a generally rectangular shape in cross-section and a first sealing member that extends from a first end of the main body in a first direction. The first sealing member is made of a foamed material. The sealing member further includes a groove touch member that extends from a side of the main body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and wherein the groove touch member extends beyond an extent the first sealing member extends in the second direction. The sealing member further includes a lip member positioned at the first end of the main body; and a second sealing member that extends from the lip member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A sealing member comprising: a main body having a generally rectangular shape in cross-section; a first sealing member that extends from a short end of the main body in a first direction, the first sealing member is made of a foamed material wherein a width of the main body is approximately equal to a width of the first sealing member; a groove touch member that extends from a side of the main body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and wherein the groove touch member extends from the main body in the second direction beyond an extent the first sealing member extends from the main body in the second direction; a lip member positioned at the short end of the main body; the lip member extends from the main body in the second direction; and a second sealing member that extends from the lip member at a position closer to the main body than a tip of the lip member; wherein a component of the second sealing member extends in the first direction. 2. The sealing member of claim 1 , wherein the width of the first sealing member is greater than a width of the second sealing member. 3. The sealing member of claim 1 , wherein the lip member extends from the side of the main body. 4. The sealing member of claim 1 , wherein the first sealing member is softer than the main body.
