A plate-like fluid container for conducting a fluid, usable for regulating the temperature of an electrochemical system such as batteries, battery stacks and the like, and, in particular traction batteries, having a metallic baseplate and a metallic channel plate adjacent to the baseplate. The channel plate includes at least one channel for conducting the fluid, and the baseplate for thermal contact with the electrochemical system that includes at least one indentation directed toward the channel plate where within the baseplate is welded to the channel plate, with the weld seam on the side of the baseplate facing away from the channel plate.

Plate-like fluid container

Flat gaskets for internal combustion engines are described. The flat gaskets may be used in internal combustion engines, in particular in engines with liners.

Transmission control devices may have two control boxes, and a planar transmission control plate disposed between the two control boxes. The transmission control plate seals the intermediate space between the two control boxes or the channel portions and borings thereof in the form of a flat gasket. The plate also makes available throughflow-openings between channels or borings in the control boxes for a fluid, the fluid in the channels controlling the function of a transmission. The sealing function is achieved by embossed beads and/or partial coatings.

Transmission control device

A transmission control device has two mutually oppositely arranged counter-components, for example control boxes, and a planar transmission control plate, which is arranged between the two counter-components. The transmission control plate seals the clearance between the two counter-components or their channel portions and bores in the form of a flat seal. The plate also provides through-openings between channels or bores, respectively, in the opposing counter-components, where the fluid in the channels controls the function of a transmission. The sealing function is realized by stamped beads and/or partial coatings. Transmission control plates therefore have fluid through-flow openings so the fluid can flow through from one side of the plate to the other side of the plate. Additional functional elements can be present in the through-flow openings, for example valve elements which stop the through-flow in one direction or combined valve-orifice elements, which restrict the through-flow in one or both directions.

A flat gasket with at least one extended carrier layer is described. Such flat gaskets are for instance used as transmission plates or also as cylinder head gaskets. They are also used in the area of the exhaust line of a combustion engine. The at least one extended carrier layer has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The layer also has a passage opening for a fluid which penetrates the carrier layer. The circumferential edge of each of the two surfaces has one or several projections which encircle the passage opening at least in sections and protrude into the passage opening. A functional element is arranged in the passage opening, which is held by the one or several projections in the passage opening.

Flat gasket

The invention relates to a sealing system consisting of a first part and a second part and at least a passage opening extending in both parts, in particular a passage opening for fluids such as hot combustion gases from combustion engines as well as a corresponding metallic flat gasket such that the sealing system comprises or consists of a first part and a second part with the first part and the second part being compressed against each other at a joint contact surface and comprising at least one passage opening in the contact surface, which protrudes into the first and/or second part, an annular groove, which is delimited by the first and the second part and which encircles the passage opening, with the first and second part in the area at least radially outside of the groove come to rest one on the other.

Sealing system

The invention relates to a flat seal such as those that are used in motor vehicle construction in particular. Such flat seals can be used for example as seals in the exhaust tract of internal combustion engines, as cylinder head gaskets, or also as hydraulic system control plates. Hydraulic system control plates, such as transmission control plates for example, always have a sealing function in addition to a fluid control function simultaneously.

A mounting device with one metallic base plate, from which a plurality of mounting eyelets protrude. The mounting device is obtainable by incising a plurality of arc-shaped eyelet blanks while leaving two connection sections per eyelet blank into the surface of the base plate and production of the mounting eyelets by bending the eyelet blanks out of the base plate around a bending edge in the area of the connection sections. At least part of the eyelet blanks are arranged as groups of eyelet blanks with the latter being nested to each other. Preferably, the groups of eyelet blanks are arranged rotated relative to each other.

Mounting device

The invention relates to a metallic flat gasket with at least one metallic gasket layer, which is mainly flat and shows a first and second surface, wherein a plane of the gasket runs centered between said flat areas, wherein a camber is formed within the gasket layer, which protrudes over the first surface of the gasket layer and which has a larger length than width, wherein the camber possesses a first level given by a virtual level, which runs in parallel to the plane of the gasket through the foot of the camber on the first surface of the gasket layer and a second level, given by a further virtual, which runs through the highest point of the camber and also parallel to the plane of the gasket of the gasket layer, wherein the camber possesses a slope area that ascends between the two levels. The slope area is provided with an undulating structure such that it comprises at least two waves each with a wave crest and a wave trough.

Metallic flat gasket

The invention relates to a metallic flat gasket () with at least one gasket layer (), in which at least one through opening () is present, which is surrounded by a sealing area (), in which at least one elastically deformable element () surrounding the through opening () is arranged, and an optional, at least one functional area () with at least one elastically deformable sealing or supporting element (), which does not separately surround a single through-opening, where outside of the at least one sealing area () and the optional at least one functional area () on at least one of the surfaces () of at least one of the gasket layers () an area is surface structured in such a way that the gasket layer () in this area has a thickness that is larger than the original thickness of the gasket layer (). The surface structured area () covers the at least one surface () outside of the sealing () and the functional area () at least in regions and the surface structure is formed by alternating depressions () and protrusions () which run on at least one cohort of essentially parallel, straight virtual lines extending over the total area of the structured area ().

The present invention relates to a mounting device having a metallic base plate, from which multiple projections project, and a method for manufacturing this mounting device. The mounting device may be obtained by cutting multiple hook preforms into the surface of the base plate while leaving at least one bending edge per hook preform. Furthermore, hook-like projections are manufactured by bending the hook preforms out of the base plate around the bending edge and possibly lateral protrusions are manufactured on the projections or these are twisted.

The present invention thus relates to a mounting device having a metallic base plate, on which multiple fastening elements are provided, from each of which at least a partial area projects above the base plate. The mounting device is obtainable by incising fastening element blanks into the surface of the metallic base plate while leaving one connection edge per blank in such a way that they each have a web-shaped base area, which comprises the connection edge on one end, and a head area adjoining the base area, which projects laterally beyond the neighboring base area on at least one side. At least one partial area of the blanks is bent out of the base plate around at least one bending edge located in the base area. The projecting edge of the head area adjoining the base area runs at an angle between 0&#xb0; and 70&#xb0; in relation to the plane of the base plate after the fastening elements are bent out of the base plate. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing this mounting device.

Mounting device and method for producing

The present invention relates to a mounting device having a metallic base plate, from which multiple fastening projections project, as well as a method for producing this mounting device. The mounting device is obtainable by incising multiple tab blanks into the surface of the base plate while leaving at least one connection section per tab blank. The fastening projections are produced by bending the tab blanks out of the base plate, multiple fastening projections forming a group and the fastening projections within the group being bent in such a way that sections lying distal from the base plate are inclined toward the interior of the group and a section lying between the connection section and inwardly inclined section projects toward the exterior of the group.

A gasket has sealing layer(s) with beads which are assigned to passage opening(s), and stopper layer(s) with a stopper which limits the resilience of the bead(s). The stopper is composed of a plurality of directly successive ridge-shaped elevations and groove-shaped depressions, both being trapezoidal in cross section and both being formed in on both sides of the stopper layer, with setting angles of the trapezium flanks. The trapezoidal elevations of the one side are situated opposite the trapezoidal depressions of the other side. A cross section (Q) which is delimited by opposing trapezium flanks which are adjacent to one another is the same or greater than a cross section (Q) which is delimited between the opposing depressions of the two sides.
