Woven tubular gaskets for sealing the space between an oven and oven door in a self-cleaning oven. A clip for securing an oven gasket to a surface on an oven comprises a shoulder for interfacing to the surface on the oven and securing the gasket to the surface, a first retaining member integrally formed on a first side of the shoulder for efficiently retaining the clip on the gasket, and a second retaining member integrally formed on a second side of the shoulder for further fixedly retaining the clip to the gasket. Oven gaskets described and claimed herein economically and efficiently seal the space between two surfaces and reduce the number of attaching clips necessary to securedly fix the gasket to the oven by providing mounting of the clips through a braided fiberglass sleeve and a knitted wire bulb of the gasket.

An oven gasket for sealing a space between two surfaces comprising: tubular bulb means for providing resilient support to the gasket, the tubular bulb means having a first radius; tubular resilient sealing means disposed around the tubular bulb means for providing a resilient seal between the two surfaces when the gasket is placed therebetween, the tubular resilient sealing means having a second radius larger than the first radius; and a plurality of individual clips secured to the gasket through the tubular resilient sealing means for securing the gasket to one of the surfaces, the individual clips further comprising shoulder means for interfacing with one of the two surfaces and securing the gasket to one of the two surfaces, first retaining means integrally formed on a first side of the shoulder means for fixedly retaining the clips to the gasket, and second retaining means integrally formed on a second side of the shoulder means for further fixedly retaining the clip to the gasket, the first and second retaining means each being further adapted to be bent substantially parallel to each other so as to provide radial rigidity to the clip when the clip is fixed to the gasket.
