ABSTRACT:
A gasket includes an internal stiffener wire which maintains the semi-rigid shape of the gasket while it is in storage or during the process of its installation between two workpieces. Rigid compression limiter rings are attached to the wire by a tack weld or by semi-open loops formed in the wire. The loops mate with peripheral grooves in the rings. Each ring is secured within a side opening in each loop with a sliding or snap-fit connection. The rings may be loosely held within the loops to allow the rings to self align themselves with positioning pins provided in an injection mold which subsequently forms the gasket material around the wire and rings.
