GASKET BETWEEN OPPOSING SEALING SURFACES

摘要

The invention pertains to a flange gasket that consists of a bottom plate and a peripheral collar integrally formed thereon and is arranged between opposing sealing surfaces, namely between a housing that is provided with a flange and a mounting plate. The invention proposes to at least sectionally form pockets on the peripheral collar in order to attach the flange gasket to the flange in a captive fashion. Sealing lips are provided in openings in the flange gasket and aligned with the through-openings of the flange and the mounting plate, wherein said sealing lips initially hold the fixing screws inserted therein and seal the through-openings against environmental influences when the screws are tightened.
