ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a two-piece peripheral channel gasket for a door or panel to provide a seal between the door and another door or a supporting frame. In the preferred embodiment, the channel gasket comprises a rigid channel member to be sealed to the door edge and having two spaced grooves facing away from each other for receiving two spaced connecting legs extending from a base of a flexible sealing gasket. The connecting legs extend from the plane of the base of the gasket and then inward toward each other. Each connecting leg includes an enlarged head extending from a smaller neck and having surfaces which taper toward a smaller end. Each receiving groove of the channel member has a smaller entrance portion which decreases in size to an enlarged holding zone for receiving the enlarged head of a connecting leg of the gasket. Due to the configuration of the connecting legs of the gasket and the grooves formed in the channel member, the connecting legs may be readily squeezed or pressed into the mating grooves of the channel member to securely hold the gasket once inserted.
