Abstract: When a carrier film is removed from a gasket body of a carrier-film-equipped gasket, in order to easily remove the gasket body adhering to the carrier film from the carrier film, the adhesion area of the gasket body and the carrier film is reduced as a preliminary process of a peeling process of peeling the carrier film from the gasket body against adhesive force in a state where the gasket body is fixed to a base, and then the peeling process is implemented in the state where the adhesion area is reduced. When the gasket body is pressed from the carrier film side with a pressing protrusion portion of a pressing portion, the pressing is performed after the positioning on the plane is performed with positioning means by recess/projection engagement provided beforehand between the pressing portion and the carrier-film-equipped gasket.

Abstract: A film-integrated gasket is provided in which a gasket body is supported by a gasket support body formed of a resin film and a film thickness t2 at a position where the gasket body is supported is set to be smaller than a film thickness t1 at an adjacent position thereto so as to satisfy a demand for low reaction force by reducing the compression ratio in the thickness directional in mounting. The film-integrated gasket can be provided with a portion compressed in the thickness direction at the position where the gasket body is supported, so that the portion sets a thickness difference. The film-integrated gasket can alternatively be provided with a portion where a plurality of resin films is stacked at an adjacent position to the position where the gasket main body is supported, so that the portion sets a thickness difference.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention provides gasket for a fuel battery provided in a fuel battery cell in which an intermediate part including an MEA is interposed between a pair of separators, and structured such that each of a gasket main body retained to one separator of the pair of separators and a gasket main body retained to the other separator comes into contact with the intermediate part at positions where they overlap planarly, wherein bank portions for fixed size stop according to a gasket thickness are integrally formed in both sides or one side in a width direction of both the gasket main bodies. The bank portions for fixed size stop are preferably supported by convex portions which are provided in the separators. Therefore, it is possible to inhibit gasket main bodies from being compressed beyond supposition in the case that contact portions of the gasket main bodies are compressed.

The method includes: a step for forming, on a surface of a substrate by means of screen printing, a coating layer of a paste for forming a gasket; and a step for hardening the coating layer by pressing, at a predetermined height, a coating layer correction member to the coating layer. The cross-sectional shape of the coating layer formed on the surface of the substrate is corrected by means of the coating layer correction member, and in such state, the coating layer hardens to be a gasket, thereby forming a gasket having a highly accurate cross-sectional shape.
