  • Patent number: 8235016
    Abstract: A housing part has a sealing surface around the housing part which is to be fastened by means of a seal to another housing part in a sealing manner. At least one fastening opening is provided for the guiding through of fastening elements, in order to seal the housing part on another housing part. At the at least one fastening opening, a ring-shaped projection is arranged which projects over the sealing surface and defines a minimum distance between the sealing surface of the housing part and sealing surface on the other housing part.

  • Patent number: 7771641
    Abstract: A lid component part of an internal combustion engine with integrated elastic seal, such as, for example, is provided to a cylinder head gasket or oil pan and a process for its manufacture. The component part exhibits a circumferential flange area for the arranging of the integrated seal. The component part is based on a plastic-material, while the seal essentially comprises an organic elastomer material. The component part and the seal are chemically bonded with one another. The seal is applied by injection molding onto the component part.

  • Publication number: 20100166965
    Abstract: The seal comprises a two-dimensional support, to which on one-side or both-sides an elastomer is applied by means of an injection molding process. The elastomer of the seal consists of at least one elastomer material. For the manufacture, a support is provided which is continuously fed to a pick apparatus, which cyclically applies on one or both sides an organic elastomer material as seal to the support. Subsequently, the seal is punched free.

  • Publication number: 20100019459
    Abstract: A flat seal with increased wear resistance with respect to relative movements and local excess pressure includes a base support plate provided with profiling on both sides in the region of the fastening of the seal, which profilings lead to the surface being enlarge in this region and hence the forces being reduced, and also cause an increase in the friction or even a toothing effect with the pressed-on flanges. The profilings can lie freely or can be additionally coated or filled with an elastomer material. Through the local separation of functions which is thus achieved between sealing effect and fastening effect, a flat seal is provided which shows less wear and is therefore able to function for longer, without additional elements or costly processing steps being necessary.

  • Publication number: 20090302551
    Abstract: A flat seal of a metal support with elastomer coating has areas which are usually stressed particularly intensively by local excess pressures and relative movements. Function elements are provided in these areas which relieve the stress of the seal. The function elements can be foils of metal or plastic which are glued on one side or on both sides. Alternatively, a flat metal or plastic element can be inserted into a free-stamped recess of the metal support of the seal and clamped in or glued on there. In both cases, by hardness, structuring and/or thickness of the function element, it is brought about that the forces occurring on the seal do not exceed the permissible material limits. Thereby, an excessive wear of the flat seal is prevented in applications having a high stress.

  • Patent number: 7458586
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing sealing cover (1, 10, 15, 18) for detachable liquid-tight fixing to an internal combustion engine, comprising an add-on piece (24) which is firmly connected to the housing, extending through the cover when in a mounted position. Said cover consists of a metallic or polymer support element (2) made of a single layer and is provided with an opening (25) for the add-on piece (24), wherein a seal (23) is arranged in said opening. Said seal comprises a sealing lip(3, 11) extending axially on the edge (26) of the opening (25) and a sealing lip (5, 12, 16, 19) extending radially in relation to the seal of the add-on piece (24). The radially extending sealing lip (5, 12, 16, 19) is retained in the opening (25) in an angularly and radially displaceable manner with respect to the support element (2).

  • Patent number: 7441525
    Abstract: A cover for a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine having a connecting element for attachment the cylinder head and a sealing element arranged between the cylinder head cover and the cylinder head. The connecting element is associated with a connecting area, and the sealing element is associated with a sealing area. The connecting area and the sealing area are constructed independently of each other and are spatially separated from each other, and the force vectors of the connecting force transmitted by the connecting element and the sealing force transmitted by the sealing element form an angle with each other.

  • Patent number: 7281508
    Abstract: A rocker cover assembly for a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine includes a rock cover, a gasket element and a stabilizing core. The gasket element is disposed between the rocker cover and the cylinder head, and includes a sealing material. The stabilizing core is inserted in the gasket element and surrounded at least essentially completely by the sealing material of the gasket element. The stabilizing core is isolated from the rocker cover such that the sealing material of the gasket element is arranged between the stabilizing core and the rocker cover.
