Method of forming a gasket with enhanced sealing characteristics

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of forming a gasket with an accurately aligned and deposited sealing bead and embossment arrangement. The method comprises providing a deformable gasket body having two spaced apart major surfaces. The next step involves applying a relatively incompressible sealing material against one of the major surfaces on the gasket body with sufficient pressure and in a manner deforming both of the major surfaces of the gasket body. The deformation of the gasket body defines an embossment comprising a projection extending outwardly from one major surface and a substantially corresponding indentation extending inwardly from the other major surface. Besides creating an embossment sealing, …
