Patent number: 10520088Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a metal gasket capable of limiting the loss of axial bolt fastening force even if a peripheral creased section is formed as an anti-saline intrusion measure; and a metal gasket, which has relatively small curved sections with a radius of curvature of not more than 20 mm on the outer edge and which is capable of limiting loss of axial bolt fastening force even when a peripheral creased section is formed over the entire perimeter of the metal gasket as an anti-saline intrusion measure. Said problem is solved by a metal gasket, which is disposed between the abutting surfaces of two members and has, on a metal base plate: bolt holes into which bolts are inserted; a bead that is to the inside of the bolt holes and is for sealing between the abutting surfaces; and a peripheral creased section configured by bending the perimeter of the metal base plate in one direction so that no gap in which saline can accumulate is formed between the abutting surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Watanabe, Ryoko Saito, Isao Tanji, Shinya Nakaoka

Patent number: 10514099Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily remove a carrier film when removing the carrier film from a gasket body in a carrier-film-equipped gasket, which includes a combination of a rubber-only type gasket body and a resinous carrier film that retains the gasket body, even if the gasket body is adhered to the carrier film. To fulfill the object, a step for peeling, against an adhesive force, the carrier film from the gasket body in a state in which the gasket body is fixed to a base, is carried out. As a preliminary step of the peeling step, the gasket body is pressed from the carrier film side by a pressing device thereby to decrease the adhesion area between the gasket body and the carrier film, and the peeling step is carried out in a state in which the adhesion area has been decreased.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Takuro Nishimura, Hajime Yui, Kenichi Oba
