Abstract
A tubular article useful for bundling wire or cables or for creating a seal between two surfaces, such as an oven and an oven door, is provided with externally applied attachment clips. The clips are formed from separate pieces of wire, each of which is bent at an acute angle at its mid-point to form a head portion and a pair of shoulders which fit into an aperture on one of the surfaces to be sealed. The clip further includes crossed intermediate portions followed by transversely extending base legs. The base legs are passed through the wall of the gasket and clinched so that they extend back towards the crossed portions. Gaskets are disclosed comprised of yarn, such as glass fiber yarn, interbraided with stainless steel wire. The spacing between clips may be varied to accommodate variations in aperture spacing and/or to provide tubular articles which are braided and are capable of varying in diameter at different locations along surfaces to which they are attached.
