Abstract
Abstract A method of making a flat gasket comprising a non-woven mat having opposite faces, including the steps of impregnating the mat with a polymerizable liquid impregnating agent and applying to at least one part of at least one mat face a coating containing a polymerizable polymer material. The coating is applied to the impregnated mat prior to polymerization of the impregnating agent. The impregnating agent and the coating are simultaneously polymerized in one operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
In a method of making a flat gasket comprising a non-woven mat having opposite faces, including the steps of impregnating the mat with a polymerizable liquid impregnating agent, applying to at least one part of at least one mat face a coating containing a polymerizable polymer material, the improvement wherein the coating is applied to the impregnated mat prior to polymerization of the impregnating agent and simultaneously polymerizing the impregnating agent and the coating in one operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
In a method of making a flat gasket comprising a non-woven mat having opposite faces, including the steps of impregnating the mat with a polymerizable liquid impregnating agent, applying to at least one part of at least one mat face a coating containing a polymerizable polymer material, the improvement wherein the coating is applied to the impregnated mat prior to polymerization of the impregnating agent and simultaneously polymerizing the impregnating agent and the coating in one operation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said coating has a polymer component consisting exclusively of said impregnating agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said coating has a polymer component comprising 50 to 100% by weight of a polymerizable polymer and 0 to 50% by weight of said impregnating agent mixed with said polymerizable polymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said coating includes 0.5 to 10% by weight of at least one auxiliary material selected from the group consisting of anit-aging agents, anti-ozone agents, polymerizing agents, polymerizing catalysts and softeners.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said coating includes 5 to 50% by weight of at least one substance selected from the group consisting of substances reducing the frictional coefficient of the coating, reducing tackiness of the coating, increasing the strength of the coating and increasing the frictional coefficient of the coating.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the step of applying the coating includes the step of applying the coating by a pattern printing process.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the step of applying the coating includes the step of applying the coating by a screen printing process.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
53 words
A method as defined in claim 5, wherein said selected substances are applied to the gasket mat prior to polymerization of said impregnating agent, whereby the unpolymerized impregnating agent binds the substances and subsequent to polymerization the impregnating agent forms a coating with said substances in a surface zone of said gasket mat.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
51 words
In a flat gasket including a non-woven mat having opposite faces, said mat including a polymerized impregnating agent, a coating including a polymerized polymer component covering at least one part of at least one mat face, the improvement wherein said polymerized polymer includes, at least in part, said polymerized impregnating agent.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
51 words
In a flat gasket including a non-woven mat having opposite faces, said mat including a polymerized impregnating agent, a coating including a polymerized polymer component covering at least one part of at least one mat face, the improvement wherein said polymerized polymer includes, at least in part, said polymerized impregnating agent.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
A flat gasket as defined in claim 9, wherein said polymer component consists exclusively of said impregnating agent.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
37 words
A flat gasket as defined in claim 9, wherein said polymer component comprises 50 to 100% by weight of a polymerizable polymer and 0 to 50% by weight of said impregnating agent mixed with said polymerizable polymer.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
39 words
A flat gasket as defined in claim 9, wherein said coating includes 0.5 to 10% by weight of at least one auxiiliary material selected from the group consisting of anti-aging agents, anti-ozone agents, polymerizing agents, polymerizing catalysts and softeners.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
55 words
A flat gasket as defined in claim 9, wherein said coating includes 5 to 50% by weight of at least one substance selected from the group consisting of substances reducing the frictional coefficient of the coating, reducing tackiness of the coating, increasing the strength of the coating and increasing the frictional coefficient of the coating.
