20110181001 | SEALING STRUCTURE USING METAL GASKET - A metal gasket has a primary bead formed on an area positioned between a cylinder bore and a cooling water passage. A second bead is formed on an area corresponding to an opening of one or more cooling passages. A base member of the metal gasket comprises bead plates that have a rubber coating layer. The base member also comprises a shim member disposed between the bead plates. The primary bead is formed by defining a space respectively between the bead plates and the shim member. The secondary bead is formed by defining a space on a given area between the bead plates. | 07-28-2011 |
20090311551 | Connecting Structure of Metal Plates - Provided is a connecting structure in which it is difficult for a crack to occur, even if a connection location is set in a portion on which concentrated tensile stress may occur. Laminated metal plates are concurrently punched out downward in shape of tongue piece. A depth of punch-out is not smaller than a total thickness of the laminated metal plates. A tongue piece portion is punched out in shape of cantilever beam while a central connection portion is left behind. The tongue piece portion is bent downward in the out-of-plane direction at a connection portion linking to the central connection portion in order that a location of the tongue piece portion in the extension direction on its way is parallel to a bend line. The tongue piece portion is configured to widen in width gradually toward a front end thereof. | 12-17-2009 |
20090045590 | METALLIC GASKET - A metallic gasket including a base plate having a convex metal bead formed, by bending the base plate, between a combustion chamber opening and on the outer periphery portion of the base plate, and a first thickness-increased portion formed thicker than the remaining portions of the base plate to provide a difference in thickness, by which a surface pressure is made to concentrate on the first thickness-increased portion to seal a joint between a cylinder head and a cylinder block when the metallic gasket is disposed between the joint surfaces of the cylinder head and the cylinder block and fastened by clamping bolts. An elastic sealing material is fixed to the convex portion of the metal bead and filled in a concave portion on the reverse side of the base plate to form a rubber bead, and the sealing material is deformed under compression in the through-thickness direction in cooperation with the deformation of the metal bead when the gasket is fastened with clamping bolts. This gasket reduces production cost and preserves a stable sealing performance for extended periods of time. | 02-19-2009 |
