Patent number: 6588765Abstract: A monolayer metal gasket is disclosed, which may be kept against deformation around a bolt hole and further made stable in sealing stress around a gas hole between mating surfaces of confronting components. A first extra thickness around the gas hole is provided by turning back a part of a metallic sheet on a major flat of the metallic sheet, with leaving a space open between them to form a folded construction having elasticity. A second extra thickness around a bolt hole is a closely layered construction of nearly rigid body little to be deformed. When the monolayer metal gasket is squeezed between the mating surfaces of the confronting components, a clearance between the mating surfaces may be regulated to a preselected distance by virtue of the second extra thickness that is little to be deformed.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2001Date of Patent: July 8, 2003Assignee: Nippon Thompson Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Hiramatsu, Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Kazuya Yoshijima

Patent number: 6575473Abstract: In a metallic gasket having a metallic sheet made with a recess surrounding around a diverse type of hole, in which an elastic sealing member is installed, a relation between the recess and the elastic sealing member in their cross sections and also configurations is so specified as to use the elastic sealing member within a range of elastic limit inherent in the elastic sealing member, thereby improving the sealing performance of the metallic gasket. The elastic sealing member is smaller than the recess in their cross section perpendicular to the major side of the metallic sheet. Thus, the elastic sealing member, when the metallic gasket is squeezed, may serve its useful function within the range of inherent elastic limit.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Nippon Gasket Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Tsuyoshi Hiramatsu, Kazuya Yoshijima

The elastic sealing member installed in the recess formed around the hole such as combustion hole and so on is composed of a top extending above a major side of the metallic sheet, and a bottom having a cross section reaching widthwise opposing side surfaces of the recess. The elastic sealing member is made not more than the recess in their cross section perpendicular to the major side of the metallic sheet. Thus, the elastic sealing member, when the metallic gasket is squeezed, may serve its useful function within the range of inherent elastic limit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2001Publication date: March 7, 2002Applicant: NIPPON GASKET CO., LTDInventors: Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Tsuyoshi Hiramatsu, 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
