ABSTRACT:
A gasket assembly comprising a main gasket body and a sealing insert member retained within an opening in the body is disclosed, as is a method of making the assembly. The sealing insert member, which may comprise a sealing grommet or the like, is provided with a plurality of star-like deformable tabs at the outer periphery thereof, with each of the tabs initially formed in a generally dished configuration. The opening in the gasket body which receives the insert member includes a plurality of tab-receiving apertures at the outer edge thereof, with each of the deformable tabs respectively received within one of the apertures. Upon positioning of the insert member within the opening, each of the deformable tabs is deformed, such as by swaging between associated punches, whereby each tab is flattened and urged into engagement with the associated gasket body for retention of the sealing insert member in position.
