- the second embankment rib is formed on the inclined surface on the atmosphere side, the further away from the lip edge, the less the possibility of contact with the inner member. Even if the seal lip is worn, the second embankment rib is less likely to contact the inner member. From another viewpoint, it is possible to increase the height of the second embankment rib with respect to the inclined surface on the atmosphere side, and to improve the efficiency of moving the liquid by the air flow.

Abstract
Description
図1に示すように、本発明の第1実施形態に係る密封装置1は、ハウジング(外側部材)2と、回転軸(内側部材)4との間に配置され、ハウジング2と回転軸4との間の間隙を封止する。ハウジング2には軸孔2Aが形成されており、軸孔2A内に回転軸4が配置されている。ハウジング2の内部空間には、液体すなわち潤滑剤であるオイルが配置されている。回転軸4は円柱状であり、軸孔2Aは断面円形であり、密封装置1は環状であるが、図1においては、それらの左半分のみが示されている。
図5は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る密封装置のシールリップ20の内周面の展開図である。図6は、図5のVI-VI線に相当するシールリップ20の断面図である。図5以降の図面において、すでに説明した構成要素を示すため、同一の符号が使用され、それらの構成要素については詳細には説明しない。
図7は、本発明の第3の実施形態に係る密封装置のシールリップ20の内周面の展開図である。
以上、本発明の実施形態を説明したが、上記の説明は本発明を限定するものではなく、本発明の技術的範囲において、構成要素の削除、追加、置換を含む様々な変形例が考えられる。
