Metal gasket
A metal gasket includes an outer ring that is formed in a substantially C-shaped cross-section having an opening in a circumferential direction and an inner ring that is disposed inside the outer ring, wherein the inner ring is configured in a polygonal shape of a cross section, and a pair of corner portions opposing to each other in the inner ring are disposed on inner circumferential faces on the both sides of the opening in the outer ring.
1. A metal gasket comprising an outer ring that is formed in a substantially C-shaped cross-section in a longitudinal direction having an opening in a circumferential direction and an inner ring that is arranged in a fitting state inside the outer ring,
wherein said inner ring is a quadrangular shape cross-section in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of corner portions opposing to each other in the inner ring are disposed on inner circumferential face on the both sides of said opening in said outer ring and in contact with said outer ring.
2. The metal gasket as defined in claim 1 , wherein said quadrangular shape cross-section is a hollow cross-section.
3. The metal gasket as defined in claim 1 , wherein said corner portions are in an arc shape.
4. The metal gasket as defined in claim 1 , wherein a metal of said inner ring is harder than a metal of said outer ring.
5. The metal gasket as defined in claim 1 , wherein a soft layer is disposed on at least a surface on an outer circumferential side of said outer ring.
6. The metal gasket as defined in claim 2 , wherein said corner portions are in an arc shape.
7. The metal gasket as defined in claim 2 , wherein a metal of said inner ring is harder than a metal of said outer ring.
8. The metal gasket as defined in claim 3 , wherein a metal of said inner ring is harder than a metal of said outer ring.
9. The metal gasket as defined in claim 2 , wherein a soft layer is disposed on at least a surface on an outer circumferential side of said outer ring.
10. The metal gasket as defined in claim 3 , wherein a soft layer is disposed on at least a surface on an outer circumferential side of said outer ring.
11. The metal gasket as defined in claim 4 , wherein a soft layer is disposed on at least a surface on an outer circumferential side of said outer ring.
