Patent number: 11920636Abstract: A sealing device is disposed between an inner member and an outer member of a rolling bearing that rotate relative to each other, and that acts to seal a gap between the inner member and the outer member. The sealing device includes an annular rigid part that is to be fixed to an inside of a hole of the outer member, the rigid part made from a rigid material; and an elastic part fixed to the rigid part, the elastic part made from an elastic material. The elastic part includes a seal lip having a truncated cone ring shape that is to be in slidable contact with the inner member or a member fixed to the inner member. Multiple bumps are formed on an inner peripheral surface of the seal lip, and are to be always in slidable contact with the inner member or the member fixed to the inner member. Clearances are provided between the seal lip and the inner member or the member fixed to the inner member in vicinities of the bumps.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Shohei Yamane, Hirofumi Miyano, Kento Akimoto

Patent number: 7354093Abstract: A vehicular window molding attached along a gap between a window opening edge of a vehicle body panel and an outer peripheral edge portion of a window pane arranged at the window opening. The vehicular window molding includes a molding main body portion attached to the outer peripheral edge portion of the window pane, a sealing lip portion projected from the molding main body portion to the vehicle body panel for shielding the gap from an exterior direction in a state in which the window molding is attached to the gap of the vehicle body panel and a folded-back lip portion folded back at a free end portion of the sealing lip portion to be brought into elastic contact with an outer face of the vehicle body panel. At least one of back faces of the sealing lip portion and the folded-back lip portion, sticking prevention means for preventing the back faces from sticking to each other is formed at a portion of overlapping the sealing lip portion and the folded-back lip portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2003Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignees: Tokai Kogyo Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Wato, Hirofumi Yamane, Koichi Sakamoto
