In order to inhibit a gasket () adhered to a plate body such as a separator () of a fuel battery or the like from being adversely affected by an elution component from an adhesion means, the gasket has a main lip (), a back surface seal portion () formed in a back surface of the main lip and closely contacted with a separator (a plate body to be adhered) (), an adhesion portion () arranged in a position in an opposite side to a space (S) to be sealed with respect to the back surface seal portion () and adhered to a bottom portion () of a gasket installation groove () of the separator () via an adhesive agent (), and an adhesive agent sump () formed between the back surface seal portion () and the adhesion portion () and holding an excess adhesive agent ().

Gasket

Notchesare filled with part of an elastic material that is injection-molded in a region containing the notches, so that a plate memberis taken in by the notchesthrough the repulsive force of the elastic material. Thus, the plate memberis secured. Further, the elastic material filling the notchesenlarges the joined portion between the plate memberand the gasket. Accordingly, the gasketis firmly joined to the surface of the plate member, and can be prevented from being lifted up from the plate member. Thus, the plate memberis firmly secured to the separator main body
