Abstract: In a sealing arrangement, in particular for the connection of a manifold to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, a flat support (1, 3) has at least one sealing element in the form of a ring element (17) that forms a mold seal. The support (1, 3) and ring element (17) form a unit that holds the ring element captively on the support (1, 3).

Abstract: A sealing arrangement, in particular for pipe connections to the exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, with a sealing support and at least one sealing element in the form of a ring element (25) that forms a mold seal, is characterized in that a holding device (27) that produces a frictional connection between sealing support and ring element (25) is provided to secure the latter captively to the sealing support.

Abstract: Flat gasket with a gasket plate comprising at least one sheet metal layer, in which fluid passage openings, screw holes adjacent to these and elastically deformable sealing elements enclosing the fluid passage openings are formed. On the one hand, to impede as little as possible sliding movements of the components to be arranged on either side of the flat gasket relative to one another and to the flat gasket, and, on the other hand, to create a fixed point for the assembled flat gasket, the flat gasket is designed such that the gasket plate has for at least a first one of its fluid passage openings in the area of a screw hole adjacent to this opening a spring element which is capable of elastic deformation perpendicularly to the gasket plate, and that the gasket plate has for at least a second one of its fluid passage openings adjacent thereto a screw hole which is without a spring element.
