An elastomeric gasket is disposed between the flange and the engine to form a static seal thereat. An elastomeric, noise-suppressing pad is bonded to an outer surface of the cover and to a plate, overlying the pad.

SUMMARY OF THIS INVENTION An object of this invention is to provide a cover assembly for an engine which substantially suppresses noise levels during engine operation. The cover assembly comprises a cover having a peripheral flange formed thereon and attached to the engine, an elastomeric gasket compressed between the flange and the engine to form a static seal thereat and at least one elastomeric, noise-suppressing pad bonded between the cover and an outer plate.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. I is a transverse, cross sectional view of an antinoise rocker arm cover assembly attached to an engine; and
FIG. 2 illustrates a modification of the rocker arm cover.
FIG. 1 illustrates a rocker arm cover assembly removably attached to the cylinder head or block of an internal combustion engine 11. The cover completely encloses the rocker arms and attendant mechanisms (not shown) to protect them against damage and to prevent the egress of lubricating oil therefrom. A cover, which may constitute die-cast aluminum or the like, comprises vertical sidewalls l2 and a top wall 113. The top wall preferably forms a inverted V-shape to define a longitudinally extending ridge 14 on the cover assembly.
An inverted U-shaped flange 15 extends transversely from the sidewalls and circumvents the cover assembly. The flange comprises vertically disposed and parallel inner and outer legs 16 and. 17 which define a continuous channel 18 having an elastomeric gasket l9 disposed therein. A plurality of attaching means, such as cap screws 20, project through the flange and the gasket for compressing the gasket to form a static seal thereat, completely around the cover assembly. The predetermined degree of compression imparted to the gasket by the cap screws is precisely achieved by stop means comprising the extremities of the legs which are drawn into abutting engagement with a top planar surface 21 of the engine.
FIG. 1 further illustrates an elastomeric, noisesuppressing pad means 22 bonded to an outer surface of cover 13 by a standard bonding agent. The pad means may comprise a continuous sheet of elastomeric material, such as fifty durometer nitrile rubber. The
transverse end portions of the pad means terminate closely adjacent to sidewalls 12 of the cover and extend longitudinally thereon substantially the full length of the cover.
A steel plate 23, substantially coterminous with respect to pad means 22 and preferably overhanging the transverse ends thereof, is bonded to an outer surface of the pad means in isolated relationship relative to the cover. In the preferred embodiment, the first and second wall thicknesses of cover top wall 13 and pad means 22, respectively, are substantially equal (e.g., one-eighth of an inch) and the third wall thickness of plate 23 is substantially one-half of each of such first and second thicknesses (e.g., one-sixteenth of an inch). In another embodiment, the above first thickness is substantially two times the second wall thickness whereas the second wall thickness is substantially two times the third wall thickness.
FIG. 2 illustrates a modification of the FIG. I cover assembly embodiment wherein like numerals are em ployed to depict corresponding structures. In this embodiment, the pad means constitutes an endless elastomeric strip 22a extending longitudinally of the cover closely adjacent the sidewalls 12 and extending transversely at opposite ends of the cover in inwardly marginally spaced relation to the plate 23. A substantially enclosed opening 24 is thus defined centrally of the strip which extends substantially the full length of the cover assembly. Although the above cover assembly embodiment is particularly useful for rocker arm cover applications, it should be understood that the teachings of this invention can be also applied to timing gear covers, oil pans and the like.
