Abstract: A plastic component, usable in a combustion engine, is made by forming an elastomeric seal onto at least one support element. The support element, complete with the seal, is placed in a cavity or fixture of a plastic injection mold, and the plastic component is created only by forming plastic material onto the support element. The finished plastic component with the molded-on seal is removed from the cavity.

Abstract: A device for measuring the permeability of fluids and/or vapors through elastomeric seal bodies comprising a container incorporating a recess for holding a test medium, the recess being covered and closed off by a lid by way of screws fastening the lid to said container, wherein the seal body is positionable between the end face of the container and the face of the lid, both surfaces being places so as to face each other, and lockable in position by way of screws using a predetermined load force, and the test medium is measurable as it passes to the exterior through the remaining material thickness of the seal body through a seal gap between the front faces.

Abstract: A ring seal assembly includes a rubber ring seal and a carrying frame which extends about a periphery of the ring seal. The carrying frame has mounting lugs which extend from the carrying frame and are embedded in the ring seal during molding of the seal. The ring seal can be handled and transported via the carrying frame and positioned for installation in a sealing end use application. The lugs are separable from the carrying frame with the application of a suitable braking force to enable selective detachment of the carrying frame from the ring seal.

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).

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.

Abstract: Method for producing a support element for an elastomer seal, in which a base body or segments for a base body are punched out with a pre-determinable geometry from a narrow strip having a width substantially corresponding to the maximal width of the base body or of the corresponding segments.

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.

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.

Abstract: Process for production of a metal reinforced sealing element, in which a metal carrier element is provided with several cutouts, the remaining material is subjected to a pressure forming process, with material deformation in the cutouts, to create a selectable contour of the carrier element, and subsequently a sealing profile is introduced in the formed contour.

Abstract: Process for creating one or more sealed chambers between flat supporting elements interlinked by studs in a gasket, such that the studs are thinner than the cross-section of the supporting elements and have staggered, facing embossed areas, and such that each of the sealed chambers is situated toward the margins of the supporting elements.

Abstract: A casing cover (1, 10, 20) for an internal-combustion engine, particularly valve covers or oil pans, for being mounted detachably and fluid-tight to the engine block (5, 13, 21), having a peripheral edge that is profiled to receive an elastomer seal (3, 12) at the edge (2, 11) of the casing cover (1, 10, 20). The cover is provided with an axial extension (7, 14) that is oriented in the direction of the engine block (5, 13, 21) and is disposed at an inner portion of the edge (2, 11) of the casing cover (1, 10, 20). The extension is positioned to project axially beyond the sealing surface (4, 15), an engine block wherein the casing cover is inserted so the casing cover is at least positioned correctly on the engine block.
