An elastomeric insert is positioned within the tube.

A preferred material for the elastomeric gasket is neoprene.

The elastomeric bushing can also includes an optional integral elastomeric heat shield which protects the shear hub.

A biocompatible porous elastomeric liner is preferably affixed to the interior of the deformable member with an elastomeric adhesive.

An elastomeric gasket may be assembled or compression molded onto the metal shell.

The protective hood has a peripheral edge, to which the elastomeric gasket is attached directly.

An elastomeric seal (16) disposed in the bore of the inner member (2) provides a fluid tight seal between the conduit (47) and the inner member (2).

The invention comprises a vibration damper apparatus of the type comprising a hub (14), an inertial ring (16) and an elastomer insert (18) located between the hub and the inertial ring.

A protective combination wearable by a firefighter or by an emergency worker comprises a face mask, a fluid-impervious protective hood, and a fluid-impervious, elastomeric gasket.

An elastomeric insert is positioned within the tube.

Preferably, the liner is formed of an elastomeric material.

A preferred material for the elastomeric gasket is neoprene.

In particular aspects, the packer device has a swellable elastomeric packer element.

The sealing member (4) is a post-cured perfluoro elastomer packing.

The elastomeric bushing can also includes an optional integral elastomeric heat shield which protects the shear hub.
