Abstract
Abstract A joint between a manhole riser and a pipe feeding into the manhole includes a resilient gasket embedded in the riser and projecting radially into the opening through the wall of the riser to provide a seal against the outer surface of the intersecting pipe. Wire hoops are received in continuous grooves in the gasket to both stretch it outwardly and resist rolling of the gasket as the intersecting pipe is installed. Additionally, the opening through the riser wall includes an annular, inwardly projecting shoulder designed to support the intersecting pipe should the pipe shift with the respect to the riser, to thereby avoid the loss of seal that would result if the gasket itself supported the entire shear load.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
An integrally formed resilient gasket comprising: a. a substantially triangular main section, b. a first apex of said substantially triangular main section defining a sealing portion of said resilient gasket, c. an outer lip extending from a second apex of said main section, d. said outer lip and an outer face of said main section extending between said first and second apexes defining a first groove, e. an inner lip extending from a third apex of said main section, f. said inner lip and an inner face of said main section extending between said first and third apexes defining a second groove, and g. an anchoring lip projecting from said second apex in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of projection of said outer lip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
An integrally formed resilient gasket comprising: a. a substantially triangular main section, b. a first apex of said substantially triangular main section defining a sealing portion of said resilient gasket, c. an outer lip extending from a second apex of said main section, d. said outer lip and an outer face of said main section extending between said first and second apexes defining a first groove, e. an inner lip extending from a third apex of said main section, f. said inner lip and an inner face of said main section extending between said first and third apexes defining a second groove, and g. an anchoring lip projecting from said second apex in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of projection of said outer lip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The gasket of claim 1 wherein: a. said outer face of said substantially triangular main section is substantially convex at a point adjacent said first apex.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
