Abstract
A seal device includes a first resilient seal ring having a first resilient seal portion and first and second seal portions; and a second resilient seal ring. The first resilient seal portion urges a first seal surface of the first seal ring against the second seal surface of the second seal ring. The second seal portion mates with the first retainer portion of the first seal ring, while the first seal portion is in a sealing relation with one component. The second resilient seal ring has a second resilient seal portion, and first and second seal portions. The second resilient seal portion urges a second seal surface of the second seal ring against the first seal surface of the first seal ring, while the second seal portion mates with the second retainer portion of the second seat ring.
Claims10
A seal device for effecting a seal between relatively rotating one component and the other component, said seal device comprising:
- (a) a first seal ring disposing a first seal surface on one end of said first seal ring and a first retainer portion on the opposite end of said first seal surface;
- (b) a second seal ring disposing a second seal surface at one end of said second seal ring and a second retainer portion on the opposite end of said second seal surface, the second seal surface being in a sealing relation with said first seal surface by opposing there against;
- (c) a first resilient seal ring having a first resilient seal portion, a second seal portion and a first seal portion, the first resilient seal portion urging said first seal surface of said first seal ring against said second seal surface of said second seal ring, the second seal portion being located on one end of said first resilient seal portion and mating with said first retainer portion of said first seal ring, the first seal portion being located on the other end of said first resilient seal portion and being in a sealing relation with said one component, said first resilient seal ring being made of a rubber resilient material;
- (d) a second resilient seal ring having a second resilient seal portion, a second seal portion and a first seal portion, the second resilient seal portion urging said second seal surface of said second seal ring against said first seal surface of said first seal ring, the second seal portion being located on one end of said second resilient seal portion and mating with said second retainer portion of said second seal ring, the first seal portion being located on the other end of said second resilient seal portion and being in a sealing relation with said other component, said second resilient seal ring being made of a rubber resilient material;
- (e) a first reinforcement ring having a first elastic portion, a first support portion and a second support portion, the first elastic portion providing a reinforcement to said first resilient seal portion, the first support portion providing a support to said first seal portion at one end of said first elastic portion, the second support portion providing a support to said second seal portion at the other end of said first elastic portion;
- and
- (f) a second reinforcement ring having a second elastic portion, a first support portion and a second support portion, the second elastic portion providing a reinforcement to said second resilient seal portion, the first support portion providing a support to said first seal portion at one end of said second elastic portion, the second support portion providing a support to said second seal portion at the other end of said second elastic portion.
