Abstract:
A sealing apparatus main body includes a reinforcing ring and an elastic material portion which is attached to the reinforcing ring and formed of an elastic material. The elastic material portion has a side lip formed so as to contact a slinger from the inside, a radial lip formed so as to contact the slinger from an outer periphery side, and an outer peripheral annular projection being an annular projection which is arranged on an outer periphery side of the side lip and protrudes to the outside. The slinger has a fitting portion and a flange portion extending from an outer end portion of the fitting portion to the outer periphery side. The elastic material portion forms a labyrinth seal between the outer peripheral annular projection and the side lip between the elastic material portion and the flange portion of the slinger.

Claim (Index 1):
A sealing apparatus for sealing a space between an outer periphery side member and an inner periphery side member which is at least partially enclosed by the outer periphery side member, the outer periphery side member and the inner periphery side member being rotatable relative to each other with respect to an axis, the sealing apparatus being characterized by comprising:\n a sealing apparatus main body attached to the outer periphery side member; and an opposing portion having an annular shape around the axis that is provided on the inner periphery side member on one side in a direction of the axis of the sealing apparatus main body, wherein the sealing apparatus main body includes a reinforcing ring having an annular shape around the axis, and an elastic material portion having an annular shape around the axis which is attached to the reinforcing ring and formed of an elastic material, the elastic material portion includes a side lip formed so as to contact the opposing portion from the other side in the direction of the axis, a radial lip formed so as to contact the opposing portion from an outer periphery side, and an outer peripheral annular projection being a projection having an annular shape around the axis that is arranged on an outer periphery side of the side lip, and protrudes to one side in the direction of the axis, the outer peripheral annular projection is formed so as to form a gap between the outer peripheral annular projection and the opposing portion at a tip on one side in the direction of the axis, the opposing portion has an annular flange surface extending in a peripheral direction with respect to the axis, and the flange surface of the opposing portion and the elastic material portion of the sealing apparatus main body are formed so as to form a labyrinth seal between the outer peripheral annular projection and the side lip.
