Slots and tongues are provided at least in the intermediate portion. The tongues extend from the concave surface of the intermediate portion and preferably extend beyond a line joining the extremities of said end portions. The intermediate and end portions may be either circular or non-circular. The end portions may be of different lengths. The packing element and sometimes the tongues may be perforated.
