Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/144628
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A tolerance ring (8) having a ring shape which circles almost the entire circumference in a predetermined direction and provided with protrusions (81). The curvature radius of ends (82, 83) in the circling direction is set to be less than the curvature radius of the portion other than the ends (82, 83) in the circling direction, and this enables an object to be press-fitted to be easily press-fitted. Also, when inserting the tolerance ring (8) into the connection section of a carriage, the insertion can be performed without damaging the wall surface of the connection section. As a result, the occurrence of contamination caused by the insertion of the tolerance ring can be reduced.
