ABSTRACT:
A sealing arrangement comprising a channel-shaped mounting portion which includes a support member supporting a seal portion. A covering covers the seal portion and a portion of both the mounting portion and the support member. The support member includes a metal reinforcement for preventing wrinkling of the seal portion at bends of the sealing arrangement. The sealing arrangement further includes an anisotropic web made of a textile or similar material which connects the mounting portion to the support member to counteract the forces of gravity on the seal portion. The web is more stretchable in a longitudinal direction of the web than in a lateral direction of the web.
