Metallic laminate gasket with plates of different bead widths fixed together

摘要

This invention provides a metallic gasket which assures to impart a sufficient sealing function to an engine having a limited inter-bore space and can make the pressure applied around the bores uniform and keep the roundness of the bores intact. This metallic gasket is constructed from two base plates of an elastic material, beads on one base plate being larger in width than beads on the other plate, and is characterized in that the base plates are fixed together at their flat segments located closer to the center of the bores than to the center of the beads and along the circumference of the bores.
