Abstract:
A generally planar preformed sealing disk (1), comprising a contour (3) that is associated with a receptacle in a component (9), a recess is shaped in the component, which recess is complementary to the contour (3), characterized in that the disk (1, 101) comprises a permanently deformable material, said disk can be positioned on a flange (7) adjacent to the component (9), and can be centered on said flange (7) via the component (9), said recess (15, 115) of the component (9) being adjacent to the flange(7), and at least two tab shaped securing parts (12, 112), which in their preformed, original positions extend out of the plane of the disk and toward the component (9) are disposed on the disk (1, 101), and the end (14, 124) of the tab shaped securing parts (12, 112), in their preformed, original position, extend at most as far as a line describing the contour (3), and the at least two securing parts (12, 112) being deformable by direct engagement with an assembly tool (19) perpendicularly to the plane of the flange and upon deformation are deformed past the contour into the inside of the recess (15, 115) for a positive engagement with the component (9).
