Metal gasket.

摘要

The metal gasket (1) is formed of a metallic base plate (10) which has a plurarity of openings (11,12,13,14) and beads (15) formed therearound. The base plate (10) may include annular shims (20) welded on the base plate (10) around the openings (11) and a resilient sealing member (31,32) deposited on the base plate (10) surrounding the openings (11,12,13,14). The gasket (1) may be disposed in such a manner as to place tip ends (15a) of the beads (15) toward the cylinder block which causes a smaller displacement relative to the beads in comparison with the cylinder head. The resilient sealing member (31,32) may be arranged to have a section of different dimension between a portion located at a side facing the beads (15) and other portion at the opposite side thereof, or between a portion located at a junction where two of the beads meet and other portion.
