A seal cover for closing an annular opening portion having locking projections provided on an outer peripheral surface includes a fitting portion having a seal ring (example of a sealing member) fit on an outer peripheral surface and locking portions configured to be pushed and resiliently deformed by the locking projections and move over the locking projections to be locked to the locking projections when the fitting portion is fit into the opening portion. Tapered surfaces for delaying a time point when the locking portions are maximally resiliently deformed from a time point when the seal ring is maximally compressed when the fitting portion is fit and inserted into the opening portion are formed on front end parts of the locking portions in a connecting direction.

Sealing Plug
20220381343 · 2022-12-01 ·

A sealing plug for sealing a hole in a plate to be sealed comprising: an operating part; a base body comprising a neck ring and a tapered ring, the neck ring comprises an annular sealing surface on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and the base body is configured to be movable towards or away from the operating part around a bottom part of the tapered ring; an upper support lip; and a lower support lip; the sealing plug is configured to seal the hole in the plate to be sealed through the annular sealing surface. The sealing plug forms a sealing structure by means of press fitting between a hole edge of the plate to be sealed and the annular sealing surface on the outer circumferential surface of the neck ring. The sealing structure of the sealing plug is irrelevant with the deformation of the upper support lip, and therefore does not affect an insertion force required to insert the sealing plug into the hole. The amount of interference between the hole edge of the plate to be sealed and the annular sealing surface of the sealing plug may be adjusted according to the requirement for a waterproof pressure.

SEALING STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A sufficient sealing property of a through hole is ensured. A sealing structure includes a cylindrically-shaped body part inserted into the through hole, formed of a thin plate of a first thickness, one end of the body part being open and another end of the body part being closed, a tapered part connected to the opened one end of the body part and including a diameter gradually expanding outward as a distance from the body part increases, and a first bent part connected to the tapered part, formed of a thin plate thinner than the first thickness, and bent inward so that a protruding part protruding outward elastically abuts against an inner peripheral surface of the through hole.

Light weight hole plug

A hole plug includes a main body having an inner surface, a perimeter, and which further includes a center axis that is substantially perpendicular to the inner surface and defines an axial direction. Additionally, a securing member extends axially from the inner surface and includes a base directly secured to the inner surface of the main body and a cantilevered protuberance at least partially axially spaced from the inner surface. Furthermore, the protuberance at least partially extends along a circumferential path that is a parallel curve of the perimeter positioned inward from the perimeter.
