Abstract
A rotary shaft is supported by a bearing surface of a bush body. The diameter of the rotary shaft is slightly smaller than that of the bearing surface of the bush body, thus defining a clearance therebetween. On both end sides of the bush body, seal portions elastically engage with the peripheral surface of the rotary shaft, and the outer surfaces of the seal portions extend within a range of thickness of the bush body so that end surfaces of the bush body and end surfaces of the seal portions are in contact with each other. Consequently, both sides of the clearance are sealed by inside surfaces of the seal portions.
