Abstract

A sealing device for sealing between a valve body which is movably disposed in a valve box and which controls the flow of a fluid, and a tube which is connected to the valve box or is a part of the valve box and through which the fluid flows, is provided. The sealing device includes: a first seal portion which is a resin annular plate or film and is to be closely contacted with the outer surface of the valve body; and a cylindrical second seal portion which is formed from a material more flexible than that of the first seal portion, contacts the inner outer surface of the tube, and prevents the fluid from leaking from the tube. The first seal portion and the second seal portion are integrally joined. A flange joined to the first seal portion is formed on an edge of the second seal portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sealing device for sealing between a valve body that is movably disposed in a valve box and controls a flow of a fluid and a tube that is connected to the valve box or is a part of the valve box and through which the fluid flows, comprising:
a first seal portion which is a resin annular plate or film and is to be closely contacted with an outer surface of the valve body; and
a cylindrical second seal portion which is formed from a material more flexible than the material of the first seal portion, contacts an inner surface or an outer surface of the tube, and prevents the fluid from leaking from the tube,
wherein the first seal portion and the second seal portion are integrally joined,
a flange joined to the first seal portion is formed on an edge of the second seal portion and the flange protrudes inwards in the radial direction of the second seal portion,
in mounting the sealing device on a valve device comprising the valve body, the valve box, and the tube, the flange extends in a direction toward the valve body from the edge of the outer side of the flange, and
in a state equipped with the sealing device on the valve device, the flange extends along with the valve body from the edge of the outer side of the flange.

2. The sealing device according to claim 1 , wherein the entirety of the surface of the first seal portion on the opposite side of the surface to be closely contacted with the outer surface of the valve body is joined to the second seal portion.

3. A sealing assembly comprising:
the sealing device according to claim 1 ; and
a ring that is fixed to the tube and presses the second seal portion and the first seal portion toward the valve body and closely contacts the first seal portion with the outer surface of the valve body.

4. The sealing assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the ring fits into a peripheral groove formed on an inner peripheral surface or an outer peripheral surface of the tube.

5. The sealing assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising a spring disposed between the ring and the second seal portion, wherein the ring presses the second seal portion and the first seal portion toward the valve body via a restoring force of the spring.

6. The sealing assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising a cylindrical elastic body disposed between the ring and the second seal portion, wherein the ring presses the second seal portion and the first seal portion toward the valve body via a restoring force of the cylindrical elastic body.

7. The sealing assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the ring presses the second seal portion and the first seal portion toward the valve body via a restoring force of the second seal portion.
