  • Patent number: 7900935
    Abstract: To reduce a shaft insertion load and prevent extrusion of a seal ring to the low pressure side, a sealing device has a seal ring in an installation groove formed on a shaft to have a tapered groove bottom section and a backup ring having a tapered section corresponding to the tapered groove bottom section, a gap is provided between a side wall surface at the low-pressure side of the mounting groove and a side end surface of the backup ring, a peripheral surface of the backup ring at the opposite side of the tapered section has a tapered surface which comes closer to a peripheral surface of a housing at the low-pressure side, and the tapered section is formed to have a two-staged taper.

  • Patent number: 7473382
    Abstract: A seal molding material for cell electrolytic solution, which comprises an EPDM composition comprising a peroxide-crosslinkable EPDM and an organic peroxide, the seal molding material being for use at the electrode site of a nickel-hydrogen cell, wherein the EPDM composition comprises preferably 100 parts by weight of a peroxide-crosslinkable EPDM, 10 to 150 parts by weight of a filler and 1 to 8 parts by weight of an organic peroxide, and not more than 40 parts by weight of hydrocarbon-based oil can be further contained. The seal material molded from the seal molding material for cell electrolytic solution has a sufficient durability against a potassium hydroxide-based electrolytic solution and a longer life, and is free from any deterioration, when energized at the electrode site of a nickel-hydrogen cell.

  • Publication number: 20060232066
    Abstract: A pipe connector device able to simply and effectively seal connected members even when using a seal member through which a gas easily permeates is provided. A connector device 1 provides flow paths 7a and 9a for carrying a pressurized gas, is formed by first and second connection members 7 and 9 connected to each other, an O-ring 11 for sealing sealing surfaces S1 and S2 of the connection members 7 and 9, and a material more resistant to permeation of gas through it than the O-ring 11, and has a backup ring 13 having a support surface 13S for supporting the O-ring 11 receiving a pressure difference between the insides and outsides of the connection members 7 and 9 and a tapered surface 19T on which a distance between the sealing surfaces S1 and S2 at a fit position of the backup ring 13 gradually decreases toward a non gas pressurization side.
