Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A combination oil ring includes a pair of upper and lower side rails and a spacer expander arranged therebetween, the spacer expander including a plurality of upper pieces and lower pieces alternately arranged in a circumferential direction with the pieces axially and circumferentially apart from each other, a coupling piece coupling pieces adjacent to each other, and flange portions formed standing at inner circumferential-side end portions of the upper pieces and the lower pieces so as to press the side rails, and a through hole being formed in the flange portions, wherein side rail support portions that project axially are formed at portions in the circumferential direction of outer circumferential-side end portions of the upper pieces and the lower pieces.

The invention claimed is: 1. A combination oil ring comprising a pair of upper and lower side rails and a spacer expander arranged there between, the spacer expander including a plurality of upper pieces and lower pieces alternately arranged in a circumferential direction with the pieces axially and circumferentially apart from each other, a coupling piece coupling an upper piece and a lower piece adjacent to each other, and a flange portion formed standing at an inner circumferential-side end portion of each of the upper pieces and the lower pieces so as to press the side rails, and a through hole being formed in the flange portion, wherein a side rail support portion of the spacer expander is formed at an end portion in the circumferential direction of an outer circumferential-side end portion of each of the upper pieces and the lower pieces; wherein a length of the side rail support portion in the circumferential direction is shorter than a length of each of the upper pieces and the lower pieces in the circumferential direction so as to form spaces between each of the upper pieces of the spacer expander and the upper side rail, and between each of the lower pieces of the spacer expander and the lower side rail, at portions other than side rail support portions in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential-side end portions; wherein a length of the side rail support portion in a radial direction is shorter than a length of the upper pieces and the lower pieces except flange portions in the radial direction; wherein each of the upper pieces and the lower pieces, other than the side rail support portions, radially extends inward from an outer circumferential-side edge to a base portion of the flange portion in a continuous flat plane perpendicular to an axial direction. 2. The combination oil ring according to claim 1 , wherein a portion other than the side rail support portion in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential-side end portion of each of the upper pieces and the lower pieces of the spacer expander projects to an axially opposite side from the side rail support portion. 3. The combination oil ring according to claim 2 , wherein the portion other than the side rail support portion in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential-side end portion of each of the upper pieces and the lower pieces of the spacer expander has a radial through hole on an inner circumferential side thereof. 4. The combination oil ring according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the side rail support portion in the radial direction is less than half of that of upper and lower pieces except flange portions in the radial direction.
