  • Patent number: 10544865
    Abstract: In a sealing device having a combination of a seal lip and a seal flange which slidably come into contact with each other, and having a thread groove in an axial end face of the seal flange, the seal lip installed to a not-rotating housing side slidably comes into contact with an axial end face of the seal flange in a rotating shaft side, and the thread groove achieves a fluid pumping action at the rotating time in an axial end face of the seal flange. The thread groove has an inner peripheral side inclined surface as a part of an inner surface thereof, and an angle formed between an inner peripheral surface of a leading end portion of the seal lip and the inner peripheral side inclined surface is set to a range of 0 degree±3 degrees. The sealing device can suppress generation of a static leakage.

  • Patent number: 9828053
    Abstract: To improve working efficiency of mounting components in a lower part of a vehicle body, a vehicle assembly line includes a supporting unit to support a vehicle body in a position such that the front direction of the vehicle body is perpendicular to the conveying direction. The supporting unit includes an upstream supporting member and a downstream supporting member provided upstream and downstream of the platform along the conveying direction, respectively. The centers of the support columns fixed to a platform, of the upstream supporting member and the downstream supporting member, are located upstream and downstream, respectively, with respect to a center line CLb of the platform extending in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the platform, and located apart from and opposite to each other across a center line CLa of the platform extending in the conveying direction, to provide a working space for mounting below the vehicle body supported by the carrier device.
