Abstract
Longitudinally multi-tubular elastomeric glands, and in certain embodiments elastomeric gland and mount systems, are provided for the gland or system to be combined with relatively movable bodies to close off a movement tolerance space between the bodies, the gland being characterized longitudinally laterally centrally by including in the structure thereof a generally octagonal wall member wherein a pair of forward and rearward side walls of the octagonal wall member produce an I-beam aspect with an intermediate strut wall of the gland, inside the octagonal wall member, having the intermediate strut wall flanked on opposite sides thereof by another pair of side walls of the octagonal wall member and by structure in the gland for supporting the octagonal wall member at the latter two side walls and transmitting and relieving thrust against the octagonal wall member as prescribed by the relative movement of the bodies.
