Abstract
There is disclosed a channel-shaped sealing strip incorporating a metal carrier covered with flexible material, the metal carrier comprising a series of side-by-side U-shaped elements each of which is connected to the next element by at least one connecting link. At least during the manufacturing process for the strip, adjacent elements are also connected by at least one other connection whose thickness is reduced compared with the connecting link and with the remainder of the metal; these other connections may, and advantageously do, break during the manufacturing process so that, in the finished strip, each U-shaped element is connected to the next element by the connecting link but is also spaced therefrom by distance pieces formed from the broken-off connections.
