A fluid sealing mechanism for sealing fluid being fed into a fluid
pressure pocket formed between sliding surfaces which are formed on the
opposing surfaces of an article being supported and a support for
supporting the article, wherein a ring groove being fitted with a
resilient ring for sealing fluid is made in the sliding surface of the
support. Under a state where a regulation ring for preventing the
resilient ring from jumping out of the ring groove is fitted over the
re-silient ring, the regulation ring is fitted in the ring groove along
with the resilient ring. When the fluid fed into the fluid pressure
pocket reaches a specified pressure, the regulation ring comes into
pressure contact with the sliding surface of the support along with the
resilient ring, thus preventing the resilient ring from jumping out.
