参照)。Conventional technology The cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and the cylinder head cover that covers the top surface of the cylinder head are sealed by a frame-shaped sealing member made of rubber or the like, but when a camshaft bearing surface is machined on the cylinder head, In this case, a semicircular notch with approximately the same diameter as the bearing surface is formed as a machined hole in the wall of the cylinder head surface end or rear end. Since then, a sealing member equipped with a semicircular plug has been used.

た場合でも全く同様に生じる。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the sealing member 21 as described above, when the cylinder head cover 23 is tightened, compressive force is applied as shown by the arrow in FIG.
There is a problem that 5a is deformed as if being pulled toward the inner circumference. That is, the sealing performance between the corner portion 25a and the inner circumferential surface of the cutout portion 26 is likely to deteriorate, and there is a possibility that the lubricating oil inside may ooze out from the corner portion 25a. Furthermore, this problem is
Even when the semicircular plug 25 is configured separately from the gasket body 24, the same problem occurs.

独立した形状に形成しても良い。The semicircular plug 6 has a semicircular shape with a diameter approximately equal to that of the notch 5, and has flange portions 7 extending from both sides of the semicylindrical surface 6a toward the outer circumference, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It is designed to fit relatively tightly into the notch 5 as shown in FIG. A pair of seal protrusions 8 are formed on the semi-cylindrical surface 6a to improve sealing performance with the inner circumferential surface of the notch 5. Further, on both sides of the semicircular plug 6, the outer peripheral portion is a semicircular thick portion 9, and the inner peripheral portion is relatively concave. A pair of ribs 10 are formed on both surfaces by partially expanding the thickness. The rib 10 is
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, it extends obliquely in a straight line from the center of the semicircle toward the vicinity of the corner 6b of the semicircular plug 6, and is formed symmetrically. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the pair of ribs 10 are continuous with each other at the center of the semicircle, but as shown in FIG. 5, they may be formed into separate and independent shapes. .

め、角部6b部分が半径方向外周側へ強く押圧される。In this way, the gasket body 4 is attached to the cylinder head cover 3.
In the compressed state, the compressive force is transmitted to the upper surface of the semicircular plug 6 through the gasket body 4, and tends to deform the semicircular plug 6. In the above configuration, the force applied to the semicircular center of the semicircular plug 6 is the fourth
As shown by the arrow in the figure, the energy is transmitted obliquely toward the vicinity of the corner 6b via the linearly extending rib 10. Therefore, the corner portion 6b portion is strongly pressed toward the outer peripheral side in the radial direction.
また同時に、半円形プラグ6中央部における上下方向の
撓み量が小さくなり、角部6bを内周側へ引っ張ろうと
する力がそれだけ弱められる。At the same time, the amount of deflection in the vertical direction at the center of the semicircular plug 6 is reduced, and the force that tries to pull the corner 6b toward the inner circumference is weakened accordingly.
従って、角部6bにおける面圧を十分に確保することが
でき、シール性の低下が防止される。Therefore, sufficient surface pressure can be ensured at the corner portion 6b, and deterioration in sealing performance can be prevented.

れぞれ半円形プラグ6の角部6b近傍に位置している。Next, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a semicircular plug 6 is used as a rib.
A band-shaped metal plate 12 is embedded inside. The band-shaped metal plate 12 has a gently curved inverted V shape, and has a central portion 12.
a is located at the center of the semicircle, and both ends 12b are located near the corners 6b of the semicircular plug 6, respectively.
そして、特にこの実施例では、上記帯状金属板12が適

へ押圧することができる。In this embodiment, similarly to the embodiment described above, the pressing force applied to the center of the semicircle is transmitted to the vicinity of the corner 6b via the band-shaped metal plate I2, and the corner 6b is moved toward the outer circumferential side in the radial direction. Can be pressed.

As it tries to go upward, the corner 6b of the semicircular plug 6
can be pressed diagonally upward, and it is possible to more reliably prevent the sealing performance from deteriorating at the corner 6b.
