A chicane (/ʃɪˈkeɪn/) is a serpentine curve in a road, added by design rather than dictated by geography. Chicanes add extra turns and are used both in motor racing and on roads and streets to slow traffic for safety. For example, one form of chicane is a short, shallow S-shaped turn that requires the driver to turn slightly left and then slightly right to continue on the road, requiring the driver to reduce speed. The word chicane is derived from the French verb chicaner, which means "to create difficulties" or "to dispute pointlessly", "quibble".
Wheel bearings with sealing devices, including gutters and chicanes.
To provide a wheel bearing which combines a satisfactory sealing function and a large pitch circle diameter from the viewpoints of technical performance and monetary cost. A wheel bearing (10) includes a sealing device (66) including at least an outer structure (76) and an inner structure (78) that together define a baffle passage (S) having an inlet (E). The outer structure (76) defines an annular gutter (82) that opens radially outward. An inlet (E) of the baffle passage (S) and a shrink-fit portion (80) of the outer structure (76) are located on each axial side of the gutter (82). The shrink-fit portion (80) of the outer structure (76) is located on one side of a reference plane (PE) of the outer ring (20) that is perpendicular to the rotation axis (XX) and tangent to an end wall (70) of the outer ring (20) opposite the baffle passage (S) and the gutter (82).
