Abstract
Abstract A high temperature gasket structure particularly useful in automotive carburetors but useful in other applications in which the gasket body is formed from a special type of semirigid asbestos board having a minimal elastomeric binder content, and with the bolt hole areas densified in part by embedded steel washers in the gasket body to minimize carburetor flange flexing and maintain high torque retention under heat. The gasket structure is intended to serve as a heat insulator and as a partial sound and vibration dampener and can be formed, when required, with upstanding beads to further minimize flexing of the carburetor flange while maintaining a seal.

The method of making a high temperature gasket from semi-rigid asbestos board or the like which consists in taking two or more semi-rigid asbestos board blanks, having a plurality of bolt holes therethrough, placing one above the other with the bolt holes aligned and interposing between the two, a high temperature resistance adhesive and a metal washer at each of said bolt holes, and then compacting the laminate whereby the density of the semi-rigid asbestos board blanks is increased and the density of the blanks in the bolt hole areas is increased even more due to the interposition of the metal washer.
