  • Publication number: 20220316596
    Abstract: An annular sealing device in a recess in a housing has a movable annular piston; and an annular inner periphery sealing lip adhered to part of a first edge along an inner periphery of the piston and that slides while in contact with the recess. The first edge has a first inner periphery edge with a first thickness; a second inner periphery edge adjoining the first inner periphery edge and with a thinner second thickness; and a third inner periphery edge adjoining the second inner periphery edge and with a thinner yet third thickness. The first, second, and third inner periphery edges are in this order from the outer periphery of the piston. The inner periphery sealing lip is adhered to the third inner periphery edge and part of the second inner periphery edge to cover a step formed by thickness differences between the second and third inner periphery edges.

  • Patent number: 9482292
    Abstract: A piston-integrated seal has a seal lip integrally provided in a clutch piston of a hydraulic clutch and directed to a hydraulic chamber side. In the seal lip, a main seal edge portion in a hydraulic chamber side and a sub seal edge portion in an anti-hydraulic chamber side are formed in a sliding portion in relation to the other sliding surface. In the main seal edge portion and the sub seal edge portion, an angle of an inclined surface in the hydraulic chamber side is smaller than an angle of an inclined surface in the anti-hydraulic chamber side in a un-installed state, and the angle of the inclined surface in the hydraulic chamber side in relation to the other sliding surface is approximately equal to the angle of the inclined surface in the anti-hydraulic chamber side in an installed state, thereby reducing friction difference in a sliding direction.

  • Patent number: 9221647
    Abstract: A sheet folding apparatus includes: a folded part forming unit that forms a folded part on the sheet by nipping a curved portion formed on a part of the sheet between an upstream first sheet conveying unit and a downstream second sheet conveying unit by holding a part of the sheet by the first sheet conveying unit and applying conveying force to the sheet to reverse the sheet upstream by the second sheet conveying unit; and a sheet leading end detection unit disposed downstream of or at almost same position as the second sheet conveying unit. The sheet is conveyed based on a detection timing of the sheet leading end detection unit such that the leading end of the sheet protrudes by a predetermined protrusion amount from the second sheet conveying unit immediately before applying conveying force to the sheet to reverse the sheet.
