Abstract: In order to improve an intermediate plate for mounting between housing parts of a fluid-operated control unit, in particular a transmission unit, comprising a central unit of plate-shaped configuration and, on both sides of the central unit, a sealing system for sealing between the central unit and the housing part opposite thereto in each case, said sealing system comprising sealing elements arranged on the respective side of the central unit and extending around cutouts, in such a way that said intermediate plate allows complex fluid routing, it is proposed that the central unit comprise a fluid routing plate extending in a plate plane and having at least one fluid routing channel extending in the plate plane and comprise cover plates arranged on both sides of the fluid routing plate and having cutouts as accesses to the at least one fluid routing channel, that an intermediate sealing system sealing the at least one fluid routing channel be provided between the respective cover plate and the fluid routing p

Abstract: Cylinder head gasket with a gasket plate formed by at least one layer of sheet metal and at least one combustion chamber aperture which is enclosed by a sealing device serving the purpose of sealing the combustion chamber, wherein in order to reduce any warpages of an engine block and/or of a cylinder head a supporting device is provided radially outside the sealing device on the gasket plate; so that the supporting device can be produced in a material-saving and procedurally reliable manner, the supporting device has an area of the sheet-metal layer which is thickened by way of embossing and does not enclose any of the apertures of the gasket to be sealed completely or almost completely and has at least one embossed supporting bead with a meandering shape or a two-dimensional pattern of cup-like recesses and associated elevations.
