Patent number: 12117081Abstract: Provided is a gasket mounting structure capable of preventing a gasket from being mounted in a wrong direction. The gasket mounting structure is configured such that, when a jig 200 is inserted into a gasket 100 from a large-diameter inner peripheral surface portion 124 side, a small-diameter outer peripheral surface portion 210 is press-fitted into an inner peripheral surface of a seal projection 122 to result in a state in which the gasket 100 is held by the jig 200 and, when the jig 200 is inserted into the gasket 100 from a small-diameter inner peripheral surface portion 123 side, the small-diameter outer peripheral surface portion 210 does not reach a position at which the small-diameter outer peripheral surface portion 210 can come into contact with the seal projection 122.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2021Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventor: Masasuke Uchiyama

Patent number: 11933404Abstract: A sealing device includes a reinforcing ring formed annularly around an axis and an elastic body part that is formed from an elastic body attached to the reinforcing ring and that is formed annularly around the axis. The reinforcing ring includes a tubular portion having a cylindrical shape around the axis and a flange projecting annularly from an outer end portion of the tubular portion to an inner periphery side. The elastic body part includes a lip portion that is an annular portion covering the flange from an outer side, projecting from the flange toward the outer side in a direction of the axis, and projecting toward the inner periphery side in a radial direction. The lip portion includes a seal lip portion that is an annular portion projecting toward the outer side in the direction of the axis and a secondary lip portion that is an annular portion projecting toward an inner side in the direction of the axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventor: Masasuke Uchiyama

Publication number: 20220333689Abstract: A gasket is provided that can be easily assembled into an annular gap. The gasket is inserted from one end side toward the other end side of a shaft member into an annular gap between a housing and a shaft member at least partially inserted into the housing. The gasket includes a cylindrical main body portion inserted into the housing and fixed to the housing, and a seal portion extending from an inner peripheral surface of the main body portion and abutting on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft member. The seal portion is composed of a protrusion extending in the entire circumferential direction and protruding inward in the radial direction at an intermediate portion in the insertion direction in the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Akihiro AKIYAMA, Masasuke UCHIYAMA

Publication number: 20210164570Abstract: A sealing apparatus using a gasket in which a gasket main body is integrally formed with a reinforcing ring, the gasket main body has a one-end-side seal bead and an other-end-side seal bead which are positioned on one end side and another end side of the reinforcing ring in an axial direction and are oriented in directions facing away from each other in the axial direction, the one-end-side seal bead is closely contacted on a bottom surfaced of an attachment recessed part formed in a housing, and the other-end-side seal bead is closely contacted on a cover which closes the attachment recessed part of the housing, wherein in a state of being attached in the attachment recessed part with the cover removed from the housing, at least a part of an outer peripheral portion of the gasket serves as a supportable portion by providing a flange consecutively provided on an outer periphery side of the reinforcing ring.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2019Publication date: June 3, 2021Applicant: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Takuya AMANO, Masasuke UCHIYAMA, Yuki NAKAGAWA

Patent number: 10612660Abstract: The invention provides a gasket having sealing lips in axial both ends of a gasket body in which a reinforcing ring is embedded. The gasket, has a structure in which the gasket body is displaced to the one axial side within the mounting groove when pressure acts on the gasket because the rigidity of a second sealing lip is set to be higher than the rigidity of a first sealing lip or a reinforcing ring is disposed closer to the one axial side within the gasket body. Furthermore, a seal bead which is brought into close contact to the bottom surface of the mounting groove when mounted is provided in the gasket body and a space portion surrounded by the second sealing lip, the seal bead, and the bottom surface and the other side surface of the mounting groove when mounted is provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Tokunori Yanagi, Masasuke Uchiyama, Takuya Amano, Yuki Nakagawa, Naoki Hagiwara
