ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to an assembly of a closure element, such as a door, and a continuous, endless inflatable seal. An advantageous arrangement provided for effectively continuous support of the seal without requiring clamps or the like. The seal has a mounting or base flange which is continuous, except for a limited notch. The base flange is received in a mounting slot or groove, which is also continuous except for a notch of limited length. The endless seal is installed by initially inserting the base flange into the retainer groove, in the area of the notches, and sliding the endless seal member lengthwise into the retaining slot until the entire base flange is contained within the slot. Continuous mounting support is thus provided, except in the limited area of the notches, providing for a mounting of superior strength and reliability.
