Abstract: A sealing shield assembly for a rolling bearing has at least one ring with a seat comprising at least one essentially reinforcing member and an anchoring device made of an elastomeric material for securing the enforcing member in the bearing seat. The reinforcing member includes a peripheral annular sleeve portion shaped like a cylindrical sleeve, and an anchoring device which includes a radially elastically compressible sleeve section made of an elastomeric material.

The prinipal characteristic of the sealing assembly lies in the fact that it includes an annular sealing element having a sleeve-like lip on which is mounted a resilient element and radially from which extends an annular projection which can slide on one of the sliding surfaces, and a root zone from which extends a second lip independent of and substantially parallel to the first lip and able to slide on the other of the sliding surfaces.

Portions of reduced cross section divide the annular lip into first and second sections operable to engage with corresponding sealing surfaces on one of the members and having sufficient flexibility to hingedly connect the sections to one another and to the root portion.
