- the thickness of the bowl-shaped portion 13 is substantially the same as or slightly larger. Therefore, in this predetermined fastening state, the hook-like portion 13 is maintained in a state where the fastening pressure due to the fastening does not act.
- the stepped floor portion 22 of the stepped shape portion 24 and the upper end surface 11b of the cylindrical portion 11 are pressed against each other in a surface contact state, and thus the cylinder head 2 has no inner wall as described above. Nevertheless, there is no concern that the upper portion 11a of the cylindrical portion 11 will fall inward due to the contact resistance and the regulating action of the surface contact portion. Moreover, since the outer peripheral part 11d of the cylindrical part 11 is fastened from the state close
- the cross-sectional shape of the upper portion 11a is a mountain shape
- the clearance with the inner peripheral wall portion 23 becomes large, so that it tends to fall down both inside and outside at the time of fastening, and the compression posture collapses.

- the volume (cross-sectional area) of the protrusion 14 is increased, or If the shape is such that it suddenly rises from the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 11, the compression reaction force of the projection 14 increases during the insertion and insertion, and the intermediate portion of the cylindrical portion 11 projects inward. . Since this becomes a starting point of buckling of the cylindrical part 11 by the fastening pressure at the time of fastening, in this embodiment, the distance (A) between the skirt parts 14a and 14a is the protrusion height (A) of the top part 14b.
- the axial cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 14 is a gentle mountain shape that gradually rises from the skirt 14a to the top 14b. Accordingly, the protrusion 14 is easily crushed during the insertion and attachment, and does not become the starting point of the buckling. Moreover, since the protrusion 14 is intermittently formed in the outer peripheral part 11d of the cylindrical part 11 along the circumferential direction, the cylinder head 2 and the cylinder head cover 3 can be used in addition to alleviating the resistance during the insertion and mounting. When the cylindrical portion 11 is compressed in the fastening direction, air is not caught in the corner portions of the inner peripheral wall portion 23 and the stepped floor portion 22, whereby the self-sealing property is improved. It will not be damaged.
- FIG. 4 shows an example in which one member as the two seal target members to be fastened to each other is the cylinder head cover 3 and the other member is the cylinder head 2.
- the cylinder head 2 is made of an aluminum casting as described above, and the upper end opening is formed in a flange shape.

- the shape has a portion 34.
- the stepped floor portion 32 and the flat shape portion 21 of the cylinder head 2 are formed so as to be in parallel with each other when the cylinder head cover 3 and the cylinder head 2 are fastened.
- the part corresponding to the part 2L includes a virtual seal line part 3L which is set by design over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction.
- the cylinder head cover 3 is turned upside down so that the step-shaped portion 34 faces upward.
- the rubber gasket 1 is also turned upside down from the state shown in FIG. 2, and the cylindrical portion 11 is inserted into the step shape portion 34 from the upper portion 11a.
- the protrusion 14 is formed on the outer peripheral portion 11 d of the cylindrical portion 11, the protrusion 14 is brought into pressure contact with the inner peripheral wall portion 33 of the step-shaped portion 34, so that the inner diameter direction of the cylindrical portion 11 is reached.
- the insertion is performed so as to compress in the height direction of the protrusion 14.
- the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 14 is the same as that described above, the insertion resistance is eased in the same manner as described above, and the tubular portion 11 falls when the gasket 1 is compressed thereafter. It becomes difficult and insertion and installation work is done smoothly.
- the cylinder head cover 3 is fastened to the cylinder head 2 by fastening means such as bolts (not shown) as described above.
- the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 indicates that the cylinder head cover 3 and the cylinder head 2 are fastened in a predetermined fastened state, as in FIG. Accordingly, the rubber gasket 1 is interposed between the cylinder head cover 3 and the cylinder head 2 in the predetermined fastening state as described above, and the cylindrical portion 11 is compressed in the fastening direction, and the cylindrical portion 11 is also compressed.
- the cylindrical wall portion is widened in the thickness direction, and the outer peripheral portion 11 d is pressed against the inner peripheral wall portion 33 of the step-shaped portion 34.
- the distance (gap) D between the portion 35 located outside the step shape portion 34 of the cylinder head cover 3 and the portion located outside the seal line portion 2L in the flat shape portion 21 of the cylinder head 2 is as described above.
- the thickness of the bowl-shaped portion 13 is substantially the same as or slightly larger. Therefore, in the predetermined fastening state, the hook-like portion 13 is maintained in a state where the fastening pressure due to the fastening does not act, as described above.
- the stepped floor portion 32 of the stepped shape portion 34 and the upper end surface 11b of the cylindrical portion 11 are pressed against each other in a surface contact state, so the cylinder head cover 3 does not have the inner wall as described above. Nevertheless, as described above, there is no concern that the upper portion 11a of the cylindrical portion 11 will fall inward due to the contact resistance and the regulating action of the surface contact portion. Moreover, since the outer peripheral part 11d of the cylindrical part 11 is fastened from the state close
- the shape or the like of the protrusion 14 is appropriately determined in terms of design in consideration of the function of preventing separation or dropout and the occurrence of a buckling start point.
- 7 and 8 show another example of how the protrusions 14 are formed.
- the example of FIG. 7 is common to the above example in that the protrusions 14 are intermittently formed on the outer peripheral part 11d of the cylindrical part 11 along the circumferential direction, but the function of preventing separation or dropout is enhanced. Therefore, it differs in that the length along the circumferential direction of each protrusion 14 is larger than that in the above example.
- the occupation ratio along the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral portion 11d of the protrusion 14 is increased from the example shown in FIG. In the example of FIG.
- the protrusion 14 is formed on the outer peripheral portion 11d of the cylindrical portion 11 in a state of being continuous over the entire periphery, and further, the function of preventing separation or dropout is enhanced.

- the modification examples shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 can be applied to the examples shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, respectively.
- the rubber gasket 1 according to the present invention has been described as being interposed between the cylinder head 2 and the cylinder head cover 3 of the internal combustion engine. It may be interposed between two members to be sealed of an internal combustion engine component or another industrial machine. Therefore, it is needless to say that the shape of the rubber gasket 1 is not limited to a circular shape as illustrated, but an annular body having a shape corresponding to an application target.
- one of the two members to be sealed is a synthetic resin molded body and the other is made of metal (including a cast product) and a high-pressure fluid circulates in the space to be sealed, it is extremely useful. However, it is possible to apply to the case where both are made of the same material.
- the example in which the elastomer constituting the rubber gasket is made of rubber has been described, but it goes without saying that the rubber gasket may be constituted by the other elastomer.

Abstract
Description
ここで、シールライン部とは、互いに締結される2部材におけるシール対象部位の設計的中心部分を意味し、従って、ガスケットにもこれに対応する設計的なシールライン部が存在することになる。
尚、芯材13としては、本ラバーガスケットを構成するエラストマーより硬度のある板材であれば良く、例えば、金属板や合成樹脂板等が用いられる。
尚、ラバーガスケット1を、射出成型以外の公知の成型方法によっても得ることができることは言うまでもない。
その他の構成は、前記例と同様であるから、共通部分に同一の符号を付し、その説明を割愛する。また、図5及び図6に示す変形例を、図7及び図8に示す例のそれぞれに適用することはもとより可能である。
