Abstract
A static gasket (26) for use in sealing a clamped joint, such as an intake manifold (16) for an internal combustion V engine (10). The gasket (26) includes a metal core 28 having an embossment (40) formed therein. A layer of elastomeric sealing material (38) is applied to at least the embossment (40) on both sides of the core (28). A crown bead (46) is formed along the convex crest portion (44) of the embossment (40), whereas a pair of flanking beads (48) extend along either side of the embossment (40) adjacent its concave side. The gasket (26) is particularly adapted for sealing joints having inconsistently misaligned gaps at the sealing interface.
