Abstract
An electrically conductive gasket for paint masking. In one embodiment of the present invention, the gasket includes a core, an electrically conductive cover that is applied to the core with adhesive. A film of material is attached to the outer surface of the electrically conductive cover which functions as a removable mask. The various embodiments of the gasket may be fabricated from materials capable of withstanding relatively high temperatures and may be provided in a variety of different shapes.
Claims30
A gasket assembly comprising:
- a core having a perimeter and an attachment face;
- an electrically conductive cover member on at least a portion of said core perimeter;
- and
- a disposable masking material removably adhered to at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member on at least a portion of said core perimeter apart from said attachment face to define an electrically conductive contact area such that when said disposable masking material is removed from said at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member, said contact area is exposed.

A gasket assembly comprising:
- a core having a perimeter and an attachment face;
- a sheet-like electrically conductive cover member having first and second end flaps extending around at least a portion of said core perimeter such that said end flaps are oriented adjacent the attachment face;
- and
- a masking material removably affixed to at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member on at least a portion of said core perimeter apart from said attachment face to define an electrically conductive contact area such that when said masking material is removed from said at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member, said contact area is exposed.
1 more element
A gasket assembly comprising:
- a core having a perimeter and an attachment face;
- an electrically conductive cover member extending around said core perimeter to form at least one electrically conductive end flap adjacent to said attachment face of said core;
- and
- a masking material removably affixed to at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member on at least a portion of said core perimeter apart from said attachment face to define an electrically conductive contact area such that when said masking material is removed from said at least a portion of said electrically conductive cover member, said contact area is exposed.
