Abstract
A gasket generally includes a base member having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a top member having an inner surface and an outer surface. The gasket also has first and second oppositely-disposed lateral members curving generally inwardly relative to each other and connecting the base member to the top member such that a spaced distance separates the base member's inner surface from the top member's inner surface. The first and second lateral members, base member, and top member collectively define a generally trapezoidal profile with four generally rounded corner portions at about the intersections of the first and second lateral members with the base member and top member.
