ABSTRACT:
A gasket assembly and method of making same from at least two gasket structures provides a sufficiently leak-proof seal without the use of a fluid sealing or caulking medium. The first gasket has a contact area on a major surface which includes an array of peaks and valleys which is periodic in two dimensions. The second gasket has an end surface with a contact area which includes an array of valleys and peaks which is periodic in two dimensions. When the peaks and valleys on the contact area of the major surface of the first gasket are engaged with the valleys and peaks on the end surface of the second gasket, the peaks and valleys allow for shift along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, accommodating any misalignment of the gaskets within a predetermined stack-up error and thereby providing proper engagement to yield a substantially leak-proof seal.
