  • Patent number: 8733763
    Abstract: A manifold gasket includes a carrier frame with a plurality of media-conveying openings corresponding to openings communicating between two parts to be clamped, such as an intake manifold and a cylinder head. Elastomeric sealing material is molded to the carrier frame about the openings to seal the openings when clamped. A compression limiting device is disposed on the carrier frame and is isolated from direct contact with the carrier frame by intervening elastomeric bonding material to limit compression of said elastomeric sealing material when the gasket is clamped between the head and block. The elastomeric bonding material renders the compression limiting device free-floating relative to the carrier frame.

  • Publication number: 20070024009
    Abstract: The gasket assembly includes a gasket layer and a separately formed shim layer. The shim layer and gasket layer are formed with at least one media-conveying opening that correspond to media-conveying passages communicating between first and second members to be clamped together and sealed by the gasket at the joint between members. The shim layer has an adhesive layer applied to its back surface 36 to enable the shim layer 14 to be adhered to original clamping face of the one of the first or second members in order to build up the surface or to cover up damage on the clamping face that could impair proper sealing with the gasket.
