277596, 277608, 277615, 277644, 277649
Abstract:

A gasket is provided having a body including at least one service aperture and an integrally formed sealing bead portion. In an embodiment, the sealing bead portion includes a first outwardly extending bead and a first concave channel opposite the first outwardly extending bead. The first concave channel is defined by a second outwardly extending bead and a third outwardly extending bead. In an alternative embodiment, the sealing bead portion includes an annular sealing member molded to the body, and the annular sealing member is opposite an outwardly projecting sealing bead. In a second alternative embodiment, the sealing bead portion includes an internal chamber filled with a pressurized gas. In a third alternative embodiment, the sealing bead portion defines a chamber filled a polymeric material.

Filed:

Nov 3, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/699901
Inventors:

Martin Novil - Northville MI, US
Yingjie Kong - Canton MI, US
Scott M. Anderson - Canton MI, US
Ronald W. Wangerow - Novi MI, US
Assignee:

Freudenberg-Nok General Partnership - Plymouth MI
International Classification:

F02F 11/00
F16J 15/08
US Classification:

277593, 277592, 277595
Abstract:

A sealing gasket assembly includes one or more carriers each having an offset flexible stopper portion spaced laterally outwardly away from an offset inner sealing portion that is adjacent an opening or other area requiring sealing between mating members adapted to be clamped together. An optional shim can be disposed adjacent to, and aligned with, the carrier. A resilient sealing material is applied to at least portions of the carrier and/or the shim, such as by screen printing, for example. The gasket assembly can be used advantageously in sealing applications such as those for cylinder heads and blocks, intake or exhaust manifolds, piping or other fluid conveying devices, housings, enclosures, or other situations where relative movement can occur between the members to be sealed to each other.

US Patent:

20090033039, Feb 5, 2009
Filed:

Jun 28, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/167975
Inventors:

Scott M. Anderson - Canton MI, US
Yingjie Kong - East Lyme CT, US
Martin Novil - Northville MI, US
Assignee:

Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership - Plymouth MI
International Classification:

F16J 15/08
US Classification:

277595
Abstract:

An asymmetric bead formed in a gasket is provided. The gasket defines a plane. The bead includes a first half emboss portion positioned at a first angle to the plane of the gasket. A bead top portion is positioned parallel to the plane of the gasket and is connected to the first half emboss portion. A second half emboss portion is positioned at a second angle to the plane of the gasket and is connected to the bead top portion. The first angle is greater than the second angle so that the length of the first half emboss portion is shorter than the second half emboss portion and therefore, has a smaller surface area being acted on by a higher pressure fluid on the first half emboss portion so that the forces acting on the first and second half emboss portions are equalized.
