  • Patent number: 10619725
    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

  • Patent number: 7086651
    Abstract: The invention relates to the application of a projection to a metal layer of a metallic cylinder-head gasket for an internal-combustion engine having at least one elastic metal sheet, which is provided with one opening or a plurality of adjacent openings depending on the number of combustion chambers of the internal-combustion engine, a bead being provided in the at least one elastic metal sheet around each opening, at a distance from the latter, so that a straight section of sheet metal is left clear in the region of the edge of the opening, for which bead a spring travel limiter or stopper, which runs coaxially with respect to the bead and is formed by the projection, is provided, the projection being produced from a mixture which contains a plastic with a high mineral filler content. A mixture of an elastomer in particular with a filler which has been surface-treated by means of a silane is used.
