  • Patent number: 11427690
    Abstract: An air filter medium includes a first porous PTFE membrane and a second porous PTFE membrane. The air filter medium has a first main surface and a second main surface, and the first porous PTFE membrane and the second porous PTFE membrane are arranged so that an air flow moving from the first main surface to the second main surface passes through the first porous PTFE membrane and subsequently through the second porous PTFE membrane. A proportion of areas occupied by the plurality of nodes on a surface of the first porous PTFE membrane is in the range of 1.5 to 3.0% and an average of the areas of the plurality of nodes is 200 ?m2 or more.

  • Patent number: 9120059
    Abstract: A ventilation unit (1A) includes: a ventilation member (2) configured to be attached to an opening (11) of a housing (10), the ventilation member (2) including a water-proof gas-permeable membrane (4) for covering the opening (11); a sealing member (6) configured to seal a gap between the housing (10) and the ventilation member (2); and an annular partition wall member (7A) defining an inner space in which the ventilation member (2) is fitted. The partition wall member (7A) is configured to keep in contact with the housing (10), and blocks a clearance formed outside the sealing member (6) and between a peripheral portion of the ventilation member (2) and the housing (10) when the ventilation member (2) is attached to the opening (11) of the housing (10).
