  • Patent number: 9719464
    Abstract: A flat gasket has a functional layer with at least one media through-opening and at least one combustion chamber through-opening. A second layer, which is separate from the functional layer. The second layer has a media through-opening that corresponds to the media through-opening in the functional layer and a combustion chamber through-opening that corresponds to the combustion chamber through-opening in the functional layer. The functional layer has at least one combustion chamber sealing bead, which is preferably a full bead, for each combustion chamber through-opening. The second layer has an outer boundary sealing bead and an elastomer sealing profile for each media through-opening.

  • Publication number: 20120306162
    Abstract: A gasket for sealing off between two components of the exhaust line of a combustion engine includes an upper spring-elastic metal layer, a lower spring-elastic metal layer and an insert which is arranged between the upper and the lower metal layer. The gasket has at least one through-opening, and the upper and the lower layer on the sealing surface each have at least one bead which surrounds the at least one though-opening. The upper and the lower metal layers in the region adjoining the at least one through-opening are positively or materially interconnected.

  • Patent number: 7690657
    Abstract: A gasket for installation between components, that under operating conditions are subjected to temperature-dependent relative motions, in particular a cylinder head gasket for an internal combustion engine, built from multiple individual seal packets, of which a least one is assigned to each component and that at least under operating conditions a gliding relative motion is given solely between contact surfaces of the individual seal packets.

  • Publication number: 20100007095
    Abstract: A metal-elastomer cylinder head gasket has, in addition to one or more sealing layers made of metal, at least one combustion chamber seal and an elastomer seal which runs around the combustion chamber seal. Through ducts which are arranged in the plane of the cylinder head gasket, I addition, for example in the case of the engine block being filled with cooling fluid, a degassing is made possible, so that a discharging of air and/or gas remaining in the system is made possible into a fluid passage by means of the ducts.

  • Publication number: 20020063395
    Abstract: A cylinder head gasket includes a metal gasket plate; a lubricant aperture provided in the plate for serving as a passage for a lubricant; a lubricant aperture seal surrounding the lubricant aperture and being of a lubricant-resistant material; a coolant aperture provided in the plate for serving as a passage for a coolant; a coolant aperture seal surrounding the coolant aperture and being of a coolant-resistant material; and a single coupling agent coating provided on the plate. The coupling agent coating is of a material which bonds the lubricant aperture seal and the coolant aperture seal to the plate.
