Abstract:
A gasket assembly (FIG.2) is formed from at least two carrier layers (18, 24) laminated together and formed with at least one opening (18) through the carrier corresponding to openings across a parting plane of two members (22, 28) to be sealed. An elastomeric seal (48) is molded to the carrier to define sealing beads on opposite sides of the carrier (12, 56) adjacent the opening with respective contact surfaces (14, 16) which engage the members to be scaled. The sealing contact surfaces (14, 16) are asymmetrically arranged contact surfaces are asymmetrically arranged relative to one another across the carrier to accommodate associated misalignment of the openings of the members to be sealed across the parting plane.
