Abstract:
A sealing apparatus includes a sealing apparatus body attached to an outer ring of a hub bearing, and a slinger attached to a hub, and the sealing apparatus body includes a reinforcement ring and an elastic body portion. The elastic body portion includes seal lips contacting the slinger, and a labyrinth lip forming a gap from the slinger. The slinger includes a slinger cylinder portion, a slinger flange portion, a slinger bent portion, and a slinger extended portion, and the slinger bent portion and the slinger extended portion form a labyrinth seal L 1 , having gaps between the elastic body portion and the outer ring.

Claim (Index 1):
A sealing apparatus that seals a space between an outer peripheral side member having a ring shape and an inner peripheral side member having a ring shape and at least partially enclosed by the outer peripheral side member, the outer peripheral side member and the inner peripheral side member being each relatively rotatable about an axis line in a bearing, the sealing apparatus comprising:\n a sealing apparatus body attached to the outer peripheral side member; and a slinger having a ring shape, having a center at the axis line, positioned on an outer side of the sealing apparatus body, and attached to the inner peripheral side member, the sealing apparatus body including a reinforcement ring having a ring shape and having a center at the axis line, and an elastic body portion having a ring shape, having a center at the axis line, formed of an elastic body, and attached to the reinforcement ring, the elastic body portion including a seal lip contacting the slinger, and a labyrinth lip forming a gap between the labyrinth lip and the slinger, the slinger including a slinger cylinder portion attached to the inner peripheral side member, a slinger flange portion extending from an end portion of the slinger cylinder portion on the outer side to an outer peripheral side, a slinger bent portion having a ring shape, extending from an end portion of the slinger flange portion on the outer peripheral side to an inner side, bent, and returning, and a slinger extended portion extending from an end portion of the slinger bent portion on the outer peripheral side to the outer peripheral side along the outer peripheral side member, bent, and extending to the inner side along an outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral side member, and the slinger bent portion and the slinger extended portion form a labyrinth seal, having a gap between the elastic body portion and the outer peripheral side member.
