Fireworthy sealants may have a variety of compositions and be made by a variety of techniques. In certain implementations, a fireworthy sealant may include a body comprised of a cured, tacky, soft, deformable non-adhesive gel. The gel body may have an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter, wherein the upper and lower surfaces of the gel body, in an uncompressed state, define a body thickness. The sealant may, in an uncompressed state, be dimensioned to fit in a first opening between a wall and an aircraft component surface and deformable when under compression to fit in a second opening, smaller than the first opening. The sealant may be flame retardant and produce low smoke density and low smoke toxicity.

Thermal interfaces or joints including stepped gaskets and/or shims therein and their methods of making and using are described herein.

The invention relates to a seal for a dishwasher adapted to be interposed between a peripheral edge of an opening of a tub for cookware and a door for closing said opening. The seal comprises a metal part adapted to be connected to the peripheral edge of the opening, a first part, made of polymeric material, integrally connected to the metal part and a second part, made of polymeric material, associated with the first part and adapted to be contacted by the door when the door is arranged in a position for closing the opening.

The present disclosure relates to a seal for sealing an inner chamber of a housing from an exterior of the housing, comprising at least one sealing layer that has: at least two rigid sealing layer portions having a respective support element, wherein the rigid sealing layer portions are interconnected by a flexible sealing layer portion, which consists of or comprises at least in part an elastomer; and at least one sealing contour, which extends continuously over the different sealing layer portions, wherein the support elements each comprise, in an end region adjoining the flexible sealing layer portion, at least one through-opening, through which the elastomer of the flexible sealing layer portion extends, and the end region of each support element is coined in at least one first end-side coining region and is enclosed by the elastomer in the first end-side coining region at least in some regions.

A compressor may include a shell, first and second scroll members, a floating seal, a muffler plate, and a wear ring. The shell defines a discharge chamber and a suction chamber. The floating seal may sealingly engage the second scroll member. The muffler plate defines the discharge chamber and the suction chamber. The wear ring may sealingly engage the muffler plate and the floating seal such that the wear ring, the muffler plate, and the floating seal fluidly isolate the discharge chamber from the suction chamber. The muffler plate may include an axially facing surface that contacts the wear ring. The axially facing surface may include an annular recess. The wear ring may at least partially cover the annular recess. The annular recess may provide clearance between the muffler plate and the wear ring to allow the wear ring to deflect relative to the muffler plate during compressor operation.

A rubber-metal laminate that includes a metal member; and a rubber layer provided on the metal member, wherein the rubber layer has a 100%-modulus value in accordance with JIS K6251 of 8.5 MPa or more and a thickness of 80 μm or more. A gasket that includes the rubber-metal laminate.

An object is to provide a metal gasket that can form a wide contact width for a counterpart sealing face and that can achieve excellent sealing properties even when a blow hole is generated in the counterpart sealing face, and the object is achieved by a metal gasket having a bead portion to be in contact with a counterpart sealing face to form a sealing portion, formed on a gasket main body. The bead portion includes an arc portion that is convex toward the counterpart sealing face and hem-rising portions that each obliquely rise from the gasket main body toward the arc portion, on both hems of the arc portion. A connection portion between the arc portion and the hem-rising portion is formed to be convex toward a convex side of the bead portion. Plastic distortion for an overall width of the arc portion is lower than that of the connection portion. A contact pressure distribution in the arc portion in a compression state has a shape that is flat and wide in a width direction of the arc portion.

A vehicle pressure medium device in which a pressure medium flows, has a multilayer design which has at least two mutually contacting layers. A groove-shaped recess is arranged between a first chamber into which a first flow opening opens and a second chamber into which a second flow opening opens when viewed on a plane parallel to the layers. The groove-shaped recess has at least one opening for a fluidic connection between the first chamber and the second chamber on a plane parallel to the layers. A group of molded seals is provided for mounting between the two layers. A fluidic connection is either produced between the first chamber and the second chamber or not depending on the molded seals which are mounted between the two layers and each of which is selected from the group of molded seals.

A gasket and a sealing structure that are capable of stabilizing posture of the gasket installed in a narrow space. A gasket main body has: an annular lip portion pressed by a facing surface of a second member facing a first member so that the lip portion is in close contact with the facing surface while being bent inward; a first annular protrusion in close contact with an end surface of the mount portion facing the second member; and a second annular protrusion provided inward with respect to the first annular protrusion and in close contact with the end surface.

A functional element is provided which comprises a functional layer with at least one filter portion, a covering part on each side of the functional layer, at least one fluid passage in the functional element which passes through a passage area of the at least one filter portion, and a sealing segment which surrounds the passage area in a circumferentially closed manner with sealing material of the sealing segment permeating the filter portion to provide a seal in the filter portion and between the covering parts and the filter portion.
