Abstract
A seal is in the form of a continuous annular strip (3) of elastic material. The seal is intended for insertion between a housing (1) and a lid or cover (2). The surfaces of the sealing strip facing the housing and lid are provided with thicker areas in the form of beads (4). The beads are separated and rest independently liquid-tight against both the housing and the lid. One bead rests off the lid and against the housing and the other rests off the housing and against the lid.
