Sealing Boundary Gasket For Compression Between Flanged Portions Of Two Mating Metal Members
US Patent:
3936059, Feb 3, 1976
Filed:
Mar 21, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/560571
Inventors:
Alexander L. Gordon - Worcester MA
Assignee:
Federal-Mogul Corporation - Southfield MI
International Classification:
B65D 5306, F16J 1502
US Classification:
277166
Abstract:
A sealing boundary gasket for compression between flanged portions of two mating metal members each of which has two longitudinal flat side portions that lie in different planes from each other and end portions that join the side portions. A one-piece integrally molded elastomeric gasket is provided having two lengthwise strip portions that are generally planar and two end strip portions. Each bolt opening is encircled by a flexible gasket portion that extends inwardly from the longitudinal portions and is readily flexed to a different plane therefrom. Each opening is provided with a circular rib which, as seen in cross section, is wedge-shaped; for example, its thinnest portion may face the outside of the gasket and its thickest portion may face directly to the inside of the gasket. Preferably, one side of one surface of the gasket is flat and the other one is ribbed. In some form of the invention the end strip portions, as molded, are arcuate and match the arc of the arcuate end portions of the mating metal members between which they are to lie.
Gasket With Heat Insulating Properties
US Patent:
3944235, Mar 16, 1976
Filed:
Jan 17, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/542078
Inventors:
Alexander L. Gordon - Worcester MA
Assignee:
Federal-Mogul Corporation - Southfield MI
International Classification:
F02F 1100
US Classification:
277 22
Abstract:
A gasket with heat-insulating properties is provided for such uses as for mounting a carburetor on an internal-combustion-engine casting. A thick core of heat-insulating resin, such as phenolic resin, is sandwiched between two thin cutout sheets of resilient gasket material. The core provides the heat insulation, and the gasket material provides the resilience needed to assure sealing on rough surfaces. Heat-dissipating fins or the like may also be provided, as well as rings of heat-insulating material which can surround the bolts used to hold the carburetor in place. The core is molded to shape, while the gasket material may be cut out to shape and secured to it by a thermo-setting resin, such as a nitrile-rubber-phenolic-resin material.
