Title: Kenichi Sekioka: Innovator in Metal Gasket Technology
Introduction
Kenichi Sekioka is a prominent inventor based in Osaka-fu, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of gasket technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His innovative designs focus on enhancing the performance and reliability of metal gaskets used in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a metal gasket that features a shim laid on a bead plate around bore apertures. This design varies the radial width of the shim along the peripheries of the bore apertures to compensate for sealing stress circumferentially. The metal gasket consists of a bead plate with beads around its bore apertures and a shim that includes annular areas defining bore apertures and bridges connecting adjoining annular areas. The shim's radial width is adjusted to match the sealing stress distribution around the bore apertures.
Another notable patent is for a monolayer metal gasket. This invention regulates sealing stress by varying the radial width of a core plate around bore apertures. The core plate is designed to be narrow at areas neighboring tightening holes while remaining wide at other sections. This innovative approach allows for better compensation of sealing stress around the bore apertures.
