Patent ID: 8117749

Claim:
A process for producing a metallic gasket, which comprises making a thin metallic sheet into a solid figure having an inclined surface, thereby providing a bead region extended upwardly and downwardly over the inclined surface, and forming a sealing part made of a hardened rubber layer on a surface of the bead region, and forming a first sealing part that extends from an apex of the bead region down to an upperward position on the inclined surface, and forming a second sealing part that extends from a downward position on the inclined surface down to a flat bottom part, there being an application-interrupted zone between the first and second sealing parts and joining the sealing parts by a rubber material in a solution state that extends along the inclined surface from both of the sealing parts by allowing the rubber material in a solution state to flow down into the application-interrupted zone from the upperward position on the inclined surface and to join with the rubber material in a solution state formed at the downward position on the inclined surface, before drying and hardening of the material for making sealing parts.
