Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
Cylinder head gasket for internal-combustion engines comprising at least one fiber layer of a soft material having pores which are enriched with an impregnating agent to increase the cross-sectional density of the soft material and edges which are bordered by a casing wherein the fiber layer is impregnated only outside of the region of the casing so that the pores of said fiber layer underneath said casing are free of impregnating agent and the fiber layer underneath said casing is more compressible than the remainder of the fiber layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
Cylinder head gasket for internal-combustion engines comprising at least one fiber layer of a soft material having pores which are enriched with an impregnating agent to increase the cross-sectional density of the soft material and edges which are bordered by a casing wherein the fiber layer is impregnated only outside of the region of the casing so that the pores of said fiber layer underneath said casing are free of impregnating agent and the fiber layer underneath said casing is more compressible than the remainder of the fiber layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The gasket as defined in claim 1 wherein the soft material is reinforced with a metal insert embedded in its interior.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The gasket as defined in claim 1 wherein the impregnating agent is produced from a liquid which consists essentially of an organic, synthetic, completely polymerizable liquid that does not contain any volatile agents.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The gasket as defined in claim 1 wherein the gasket has a passage for a combustion chamber and the casing has a U-shaped cross section to protect the edges of said passage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
The gasket as defined in claim 4 wherein the arms of the U lie on opposing planar surfaces of the gasket and the base of the U lies against the interior surface of said passage.
