Patent number: 8714564Abstract: A cylinder head gasket 1 has gasket base plates 4 and 5 including: combustion chamber holes 7; a water hole 9 formed in a manner adjusted to the position of a cooling liquid path 3b formed in a cylinder block; and full beads 4a and 5a surrounding the combustion chamber holes. Neighboring full beads are formed at locations distant from each other. Furthermore, two coupling beads 4b and 5b are provided at locations having disposed therebetween a centerline connecting the centers of the neighboring combustion chamber holes, and the two coupling beads 4b and 5b branch out from one full bead and join the other full bead and protrude in the same direction as the full beads. The water hole is disposed outside an area surrounded by the full beads and the coupling beads.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2011Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignees: Nippon Gasket Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomoyoshi Ogaeri, Shigeo Kiyoi, Masaki Chiba, Kazuya Yoshijima

Publication number: 20130187344Abstract: A cylinder head gasket 1 comprises gasket base plates 4 and 5 including: a plurality of combustion chamber holes 7; a water hole 9 formed in a manner adjusted to the position of a cooling liquid path 3b formed in a cylinder block; and full beads 4a and 5a surrounding the combustion chamber holes. The neighboring full beads are formed at locations distant from each other. Furthermore, two coupling beads 4b and 5b are provided at locations having disposed therebetween a centerline connecting the centers of the neighboring combustion chamber holes, and the two coupling beads 4b and 5b branch out from one full bead and join the other full bead and protrude in the same direction as the full beads. The water hole is disposed outside an area surrounded by the full beads and the coupling beads. When the neighboring full beads are distant from each other, cooling liquid can be blocked from flowing into an area formed between the full beads.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2011Publication date: July 25, 2013Inventors: Tomoyoshi Ogaeri, Shigeo Kiyoi, Masaki Chiba, Kazuya Yoshijima

Patent number: 6702297Abstract: A metal gasket used in an engine with a chain case, using a foam-rubber seal member shaped to withstand in practical use and having excellent long-lasting reliability and excellent durability. A total constitutive plate of the metal gasket is extended along the chain case to form an extended part. This extended part has a chain case hole. The foam-rubber seal member seals a chain case opening and a three-surface joining portion defined by the chain case, a cylinder block and a cylinder head. The foam-rubber seal member is a separate and distinct member and is a sheet-like and loop-like combination of layers of foam rubber and a metal core plate interposed between these foam rubber layers.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Nippon Gasket Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Furuta, Hiroshi Uemura, Tomoyoshi Ogaeri

Publication number: 20020050687Abstract: Occurrence of cracking in a metal plate serving as a constituent plate is prevented by improving heat extraction and cooling characteristics, for instance, in the peripheries of cylinder bores which encounter a high-temperature fluid. To this end, a stopper plate, which has bore openings and either or both surfaces of which are coated with a sealing coating material, is provided with sealing coating material lacking portions formed in the vicinity of the bore openings in one surface thereof. The sealing coating material lacking portions are for speeding up extraction of heat from the peripheries of the bore openings.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2001Publication date: May 2, 2002Applicant: NIPPON GASKET COMPANY LTD.Inventors: Tomoyoshi Ogaeri, Naoki Ii, Kazuhiro Kida, Minoru Teranishi, Kazuya Yoshijima

Patent number: 6336639Abstract: A metal gasket is disclosed which is used arranged between a cylinder block and a cylinder head. The metal gasket comprises carrier plates having thereon beads, and a stopper plate overlaid on the carrier plates and provided with folded constructions, which are each composed of a folded flange area and its counterpart area confronting each other so as to provide a gap of a preselected interval between them. The gaps exert elasticity on the folded flange areas continuously whenever the gasket is squeezed and loaded due to engine operation whereby the folded constructions may compensate for intolerable clearance that might occur owing to the distortion in fatigue of the cylinder block with respect to the gasket, with resulting in improving sealing performance of the gasket.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1999Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: Nippon Gasket Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Ishida, Yutaka Furuta, Tomoyoshi Ogaeri, Tsuyoshi Hiramatsu, Naoki Ii

Patent number: 6164662Abstract: An engine gasket flattens the surface pressure occurring around holes, prevents the occurrence of impressions in and damage to a cylinder block and a cylinder head, and secures a stable sealing performance. This metal gasket has elastic metal plates and an intermediate metal plate interposed between these elastic metal plates. The elastic metal plates are provided with full beads along the circumferences of the holes so that the ridge portions of the full beads contact the intermediate metal plate. The intermediate plate has, on regions which are between the holes and full beads of the elastic metal plates, half beads extending toward the elastic metal plates. The elastic metal plates are folded back along the circumferences of the holes.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1998Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: Nippon Gasket Co. Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Uemura, Tomoyoshi Ogaeri, Kenji Ishida, Kunitoshi Inoue
