PREFORMED GASKET WITH RETAINING TABS

摘要

A resilient molded gasket adapted to be received in a preformed annular groove having an inner sidewall formed at an oblique angle relative to the base of the groove and having an enlarged area defined at the junction of the inner sidewall and the base. The gasket includes a generally circular body and at least two integrally molded tabs. The body is sized to be slidably received in the groove. The tabs are adapted to engage and then snap past a lip formed on the free end of the inner sidewall and then to be received in the enlarged area of the groove so as to retain the gasket in the groove while permitting rotation of the gasket.
