Abstract
Abstract The space between and surrounding aligned window openings of a vehicle cab and a camper carried thereby is sealed by an endless flexible member of sheet material of a length to surround the aligned window openings and of a width greater than the space therebetween. An endless resilient member is carried by the edge of each flexible member with each resilient member being of a length greater than the peripheral distance around the window opening adjacent thereto and adapted to snap therethrough and then retain a position outwardly thereof.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A sealing device for sealing the space between and surrounding aligned, spaced apart window openings at the rear of a vehicle cab and at the front of a camper carried thereby comprising: (a) an endless flexible member of sheet material of a length to surround both of said aligned window openings and of a width greater than the space therebetween so that it projects forwardly of the opening at the rear of the vehicle cab and rearwardly of the opening at the front of the camper, and (b) an endless resilient member carried by and extending along each edge of said endless flexible member with each said resilient member being of a length greater than the peripheral distance around the window opening adjacent thereto and being adapted to snap through said window opening adjacent thereto and then retain a position outwardly thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A sealing device for sealing the space between and surrounding aligned, spaced apart window openings at the rear of a vehicle cab and at the front of a camper carried thereby comprising: (a) an endless flexible member of sheet material of a length to surround both of said aligned window openings and of a width greater than the space therebetween so that it projects forwardly of the opening at the rear of the vehicle cab and rearwardly of the opening at the front of the camper, and (b) an endless resilient member carried by and extending along each edge of said endless flexible member with each said resilient member being of a length greater than the peripheral distance around the window opening adjacent thereto and being adapted to snap through said window opening adjacent thereto and then retain a position outwardly thereof.
