Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sliding bearing includes: an upper casing; a synthetic resin-made lower casing which is superposed on the upper casing so as to be rotatable about an axis in a circumferential direction relative to the upper casing; a synthetic resin-made sliding bearing piece disposed in an annular space between the upper casing and the lower casing; and a synthetic resin-made seal member for sealing respective other annular end portions, communicating with the outside, of a gap on an inner peripheral side and a gap on an outer peripheral side in a radial direction between the upper casing and the lower casing, the gap and the gap respectively communicating with the annular space at their one annular end portions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A synthetic resin-made thrust sliding bearing comprising: a synthetic resin-made upper casing; a synthetic resin-made lower casing superposed on said upper casing so as to be rotatable about an axis relative to said upper casing; a synthetic resin-made sliding bearing piece disposed between the upper casing and the lower casing; and a synthetic resin-made seal member integrally having a flexible inner peripheral-side annular seal portion for sealing a gap between radially inner peripheral sides of said upper casing and said lower casing, a flexible outer peripheral-side annular seal portion for sealing a gap between radially outer peripheral sides of said upper casing and said lower casing, and a connecting portion disposed in a recessed groove of the lower casing for connecting the inner peripheral-side annular seal portion and the outer peripheral-side annular seal portion to each other. 2. The synthetic resin-made sliding bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion integrally has a columnar portion disposed in a hole portion of the lower casing. 3. A synthetic resin-made sliding bearing comprising: a synthetic resin-made upper casing; a synthetic resin-made lower casing superposed on said upper casing so as to be rotatable about an axis relative to said upper casing; a synthetic resin-made sliding bearing piece disposed between the upper casing and the lower casing; and a synthetic resin-made seal member integrally having a flexible inner peripheral-side annular seal portion for sealing a gap between radially inner peripheral sides of said upper casing and said lower casing, a flexible outer peripheral-side annular seal portion for sealing a gap between radially outer peripheral sides of said upper casing and said lower casing, and a plurality of connecting portions respectively disposed in a plurality of recessed grooves of the lower casing for connecting the inner peripheral-side annular seal portion and the outer peripheral-side annular seal portion to each other. 4. The synthetic resin-made sliding bearing according to claim 3 , wherein the connecting portion integrally has a columnar portion disposed in a hole portion of the lower casing.
