Patent number: 7559555Abstract: The present invention provides a seal ring which can be prevented from being broken by an expansion and a shock applied thereto when the seal ring is fitted on a rotary shaft and does not have a configurative disadvantage such as a burr. Therefore no post-processing is required. The present invention also provides materials of the seal ring and a method of manufacturing the seal ring. The seal ring is made of resin and having two abutments confronting each other and a gate mark formed in an injection molding operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2004Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: NTN CorporationInventors: Eiichirou Shimazu, Keitarou Emura, Masaki Egami

Patent number: 7494129Abstract: The invention relates to a piston ring comprising a slit forming a joint, a bearing surface, an inner peripheral surface, and upper and lower flanks extending thereinbetween. An inconstant cross-sectional interruption is provided in the region of the inner peripheral surface and, seen from the peripheral direction, is larger in the region of the joint than in the region which diametrically opposes the joint. The wall thickness of the inventive piston ring varies in the peripheral direction and is smaller in the region of the joint than in the region which diametrically opposes the joint. The relation between the wall thickness and the cross-sectional interruption is always such that the piston ring has a constant torsional angle, seen over the periphery.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2004Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Federal Mogul Burscheid GmbHInventors: Claus Breuer, Richard Mittler

Patent number: 6845681Abstract: A front end of a starter motor housing is sealed by a resilient seal member disposed between a bearing and a front end wall of the housing. A shaft carrying a pinion at its front end is rotatably and slidably supported by the bearing in an over hang fashion. The seal member is a cup-shaped ring having a circular outer wall, a bottom wall and a center hole. A sealing lip slidably contacting the rotating shaft is formed around the center hole. The circular outer wall of the seal member is tightly and hermetically held between an outer ring of the bearing and front end wall of the housing, so that the seal member is not displaced in the axial direction. The bottom wall is S-shaped forming a depressed portion facing the bearing to provide more space for retaining lubricant therein.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2002Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Mitsuhiro Murata, Shinji Usami

Patent number: 6631908Abstract: A compression piston ring includes a ring gap defined by facing first and second end faces; a ring back situated diametrically opposite the ring gap; first and fourth quadrants extending from opposite sides of the ring gap and second and third quadrants extending from opposite sides of the ring back to the respective first and fourth quadrants. The first end face is situated in the first quadrant and the second end face is situated in the fourth quadrant. The wall thickness of the compression piston ring is reduced exclusively in the first and fourth quadrants.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2001Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Federal-Mogul Burscheid GbmHInventors: Richard Mittler, Mario Solia

Patent number: 6419234Abstract: The present invention relates to an oil sealing ring, especially that used in piston of internal combustion engine or compressor. This oil sealing ring comprises a base ring (2) with a split. An elastic ring (3) is provided in the inner circumference surface of the base ring. A radially outward annular flange (18) is provided in the outer circumference surface of the base ring. An axially upward annular projecting part (19) is provided in the area beyond the outer circumference surface of the projecting part (19). The splits of said disc ring (1) and said base ring (2) are respectively staggered from each other. This oil sealing ring can effectively prevent the leakage of the oil and the gas.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1999Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Inventor: Xiuming Yu

Patent number: 6367808Abstract: A sealing ring, in particular for a piston rod with a circular cross-section, which has a height in the axial direction as well as a surface oriented towards a sliding surface, with the surface being executed to extend cylindrically over a part of the height in order to form a sealing surface and being executed to become wider along a further part. The sealing ring has a high sealing action in the axial direction so that a majority of the gas flows out between the piston rod and the sealing surface so that a gas storage arises.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 1997Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Sulzer-Burckhardt AGInventor: Norbert Feistel
