主权项

1. A gasket comprising:
a main body defining a first aperture; a first retention tab extending from the main body at the first aperture, a first portion of the first retention tab extending directly from the main body in a direction away from the first aperture at an acute angle as measured between an inner surface of the first portion facing the first aperture and a plane extending parallel to the main body, the first portion of the first retention tab extending at an obtuse angle as measured between the plane and an outer surface of the first portion opposite to the inner surface; a second retention tab extending from the main body at the first aperture, a first portion of the second retention tab extending directly from the main body in a direction away from the first aperture at an acute angle as measured between an inner surface of the first portion facing the first aperture and the plane extending parallel to the main body, the first portion of the second retention tab extending at an obtuse angle as measured between the plane and an outer surface of the first portion opposite to the inner surface; a third retention tab extending from the main body at the first aperture, a first portion of the third retention tab extending directly from the main body in a direction away from the first aperture at an acute angle as measured between an inner surface of the first portion facing the first aperture and the plane extending parallel to the main body, the first portion of the third retention tab extending at an obtuse angle as measured between the plane and an outer surface of the first portion opposite to the inner surface; a second aperture defined by the main body; fourth, fifth, and sixth retention tabs extending from the main body at the second aperture, the fourth, fifth, and sixth retention tabs are at least substantially similar to the first, second, and third retention tabs respectively; and a third aperture defined by the main body between the first and second apertures.
