1. A gear device installable between two counterpart members to transmit a rotational force while reducing a rotational speed at a predetermined speed reduction ratio, the gear device comprising:
a first member fixable to one of the counterpart members; a crankshaft; a second member configured to be fixable to the other counterpart member and formed with a through-hole, the second member being adapted to be relatively rotated with respect to the first member in interlocking relation with rotation of the crankshaft; and a cylindrical body disposed in the through-hole of the second member, wherein: the second member has a basal section and an end plate section fastened to the basal section, the through-hole includes a basal-section penetrating zone formed in the basal section and an end-plate penetrating zone formed in the end plate section, the end-plate penetrating zone of the through-hole of the second member has an inner peripheral surface formed with an outward groove, the cylindrical body has an outer peripheral surface formed with an inward groove in opposed relation to the outward groove of the second member, the inward groove having two wall surfaces opposed in an axial direction of the cylindrical body, the gear device is provided with an O-ring disposed to extend from an inside of the outward groove to an inside of the inward groove, and the outward groove has two wall surfaces opposed in an axial direction of the cylindrical body, one of the two wall surfaces on an opposite side of the basal section having a height dimension less than that of the other of the two wall surfaces, the two wall surfaces of the inward groove and the two wall surfaces of the outward groove being aligned in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical body, each of the two wall surfaces of the inward groove and each of the two wall surfaces of the outward groove being configured to contact the O-ring. |
