Patent ID: 7441525

Claim:
A cylinder head cover for a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, said cover having at least one connecting element for securing the cylinder head cover to the cylinder head and a sealing element disposed between the cylinder head cover and the cylinder head, wherein: the sealing element includes a circumferential annular separating lip that extends into the gap between the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover, the separating lip is integrallv formed with a sealing body of the sealing element and is composed of a sealing material which achieves an effective decoupling of vibrations between the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover, the at least one connecting element is associated with a connecting region of the cylinder head cover and the sealing element is associated with a sealing region of the cylinder head cover; the connecting region and the sealing region are formed independently of each other and are spatially separated, and the force vector of an attachment force transmitted by the at least one connecting element and the force vector of a sealing force transmitted by the sealing element form an angle with each other.
