ABSTRACT:
A sealing structure for providing a relatively leak-proof seal between the junction of two gaskets which are disposed at an angle relative to one another is disclosed. A first gasket is interposed between two pieces of a first component of a vehicle engine or other device. When the two pieces are assembled together, the first component defines a surface adapted to mate with a corresponding surface formed on a second component of the device. An edge of the first gasket extends beyond the mating surface of the first component. The edge of the first gasket includes a plurality of outwardly extending projections formed integrally therewith. A second gasket is interposed between the mating surfaces of the first and second components. The second gasket includes a plurality of recesses formed in a face thereof, each of which corresponds to one of the projections formed in the first gasket. When the first and second components are assembled together, the projections formed on the edge of the first gasket extend into and engage the recesses formed in the face of the second gasket. The cooperation of the first and second gaskets prevents the formation of a flat surface abutment therebetween so as to provide a relatively leak-proof seal.
