Abstract
A metal bead gasket (11) with a sealing region (12) having at least one bead (9), at least one bracing region (13) having at least one recess (21) for receiving a bracing means (5), in particular a screw, and at least one intermediate region (14) which connects the sealing region (12) to the bracing region (13). The intermediate region (14) is configured to be more deformationally unstable perpendicularly to the bracing direction (4) than the sealing region (12) and/or the bracing region (13).
Claims16
A metal bead gasket (11) comprising:
- a sealing region (12) having at least one bead (9),
- at least one bracing region (13) having at least one through-hole (21) for receiving a bracing means (5), and
- at least one intermediate region (14) which connects the sealing region (12) to the bracing region (13),
- wherein at least two corrugations (15, 16) which ascend in the bracing direction (4) are formed in the intermediate region (14) whereby the intermediate region (14) is more deformationally unstable perpendicularly to the bracing direction (4) than the sealing region (12) and/or the bracing region (13), and
- wherein the intermediate region (14) comprises at least one web between the bracing region (13) and the sealing region (12), wherein a length (26) of the web is greater than a width (27) of the web.
