Patent number: 11187325Abstract: A sealing device in which diameter expansion of an inserted first back-up ring is suppressed. The sealing device includes a seal ring mounted in a rectangular mounting groove, the first back-up ring, and a second back-up ring. The first back-up ring has an end surface contacting an opposing-sealing-fluid-side side surface of the mounting groove. The second back-up ring has an end surface contacting the seal ring. A contact surface in an inner peripheral end of second back-up ring is perpendicular to the axis to contact an opposing-sealing-fluid-side side surface of the mounting groove. The inner diameter of the first back-up ring is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the contact surface portion of the second back-up ring, and the outer diameter of the first back-up ring is set to be smaller than the inner diameter of a housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Shuji Yoshitsune, Kota Henmi

Publication number: 20060226610Abstract: In a gasket for sealing a gap between a throttle body and an intake manifold that are assembled obliquely to each other, sealing performance is stabilized by preventing the gasket from falling or being caught. A gasket (1) with a substantially pentagonal cross-section is set in an installation groove (21) before a throttle body (20) and an intake manifold (30) are assembled. The gasket (1) is then brought to be in contact only with a close-contact surface (31) of the intake manifold, to which surface, with a throttle body (20) assembled to an intake manifold (30), the gasket (1) in the installation groove is in close contact. After that the throttle body (20) is assembled to the intake manifold (30) by making the gasket (1) to be in sliding contact with the close-contact surface (31).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2004Publication date: October 12, 2006Inventors: Takashi Nakao, Shuji Yoshitsune, Yoshiaki Yamamoto, Masao Ino
