Abstract
The oil tightness between a union and a seat portion on the outer side surface of a caliper is maintained by a copper packing. A rubber packing is provided on the outside of the copper packing so as to prevent water drops from adhering to the copper packing. As a result, copper ions never dissolves into the water drops, so that the aluminum caliper is prevented from corroding.
Claims3
A pressure oil lead-in portion of a hydraulic apparatus comprising:
- an aluminum body including a cylindrical portion having a threaded oil passage hole therein and a seat portion about said hole;
- a pressure oil feeding/discharging pipe adapted to supply pressurized oil from a source thereof;
- an annular union provided at one end of said pressure oil feeding/discharging pipe, said union having a oil path therethrough in communication with said pressure oil feeding/discharging pipe;
- bolting means for fixing said union to said seat portion, said bolting means being engageable with said threads provided in said oil passage hole, said bolting means having a rod portion with a bore therethrough to form an oil path in communication with said oil passage hole and with said oil path of said union;
- a copper packing having an opening therethrough to allow said rod portion to pass therethrough and thereby permit the flow of pressure oil between said union and said oil passage hole, said copper packing being disposed between said seat portion and said union such that said copper packing is in oil-tight sealing contact with said seat portion and said union;
- and
- means for preventing water from coming into contact with said copper packing.
