A gasket made of a plastic material for refrigerator chests, including an inner door and an outer door, rigidly connected to each other by a foamed material injected in the hollow space between them for insulating purposes, in which the inner door is profiled along one or more sides with a groove is profiled alone one or more sides with a groove next to an extremity thereof overlaying the outer door, wherein the groove functions as a seat to receive an appropriate fastener for the gasket and the latter is fitted with a bellows-type section made of a soft plastic material capable of providing a closing seal between the inner door and the chest, and a base from which the fastener extends to the inner door, the gasket base being made of a rigid plastic material shaped by co-extrusion with the soft plastic material of the bellows-type portion and presents a substantially horizontal, flat or slightly curved configuration in the portion where the base overlays the extremity of the inner door, while presenting a substantially oblique or vertical configuration in the extremity, and wherein the portion of the base is externally overlaid, on the same side of the outer door, by a layer of soft material coextruded with the rigid material of the base, from which a sealing element extends so as to operatively rest against the outer door, the soft layer forming a portion of the lateral wall of the bellows-type portion.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A gasket made of a soft material for refrigerator chests, comprising:an inner door and an outer door rigidly connected to each other by injecting a foamed material into the hollow space formed between said inner and outer doors for thermal insulating purposes before coupling, wherein said inner door has a groove in an area next to an extremity thereof overlaying said outer door and wherein said groove comprises a seat;a fastener for said gasket, said fastener being located in said seat and including a bellows-type portion made of a soft plastic material for producing a tight seal between the door and the chest, said gasket including a base from which said fastener extends, wherein said base of said gasket comprises a rigid plastic material shaped by co-extrusion with said soft plastic material of said bellows-type portion, and is substantially flat where said base overlays the extremity of said inner door, said base having an extremity with one of a substantially oblique configuration and a vertical configuration in a portion of said base wherein a layer of soft material is co-extruded with the rigid material from said base, and wherein one of said oblique configuration and said vertical configuration is externally overlaid, on a same side of the inner door, by said layer made of a soft material co-extruded with the rigid material of said base;a sealing element projecting from said co-extruded layer and contacting said outer door, wherein said extruded layer comprises a lateral wall of said bellows-type portion.
