  • Publication number: 20070295403
    Abstract: A liquid exhaust valve gear provided at an upper space at inside of a hermetically sealed vessel for containing a liquid for making a gas flow in and out to and from outside, and shutting off a leakage of the liquid from the hermetically sealed vessel, including a housing divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber by being partitioned by a partition plate having an opening portion, and a float slidably contained at inside of the lower chamber and moved up by receiving a buoyancy from the liquid at inside of the hermetically sealed vessel, in which the upper chamber is opened with an exhaust port communicating with outside of the hermetically sealed vessel at a peripheral wall thereof, and an upper end portion of the float is provided with valve means for closing the opening portion of the partition plate in accordance with moving up the float, further, a partition wall in a cylindrical shape is provided to extend in an upper direction from a peripheral edge of the opening portion at inside of the upper

  • Patent number: 6827098
    Abstract: The first seal seat is disposed in a first passage of a case. The first float valve body is disposed in the case and closes the first seal seat in response to the liquid level of the fuel. The second seal seat is disposed vertically above the first seal seat, in a second passage of the case. The second valve body is disposed on one side of the second seal seat communicating to the outside of the second passage, with being resiliently urged upwards from below. The second float is disposed in the case and regulates an upper end position of the second valve body to open the second valve seat in response to movement of the liquid level of fuel at least until the liquid level is higher than the liquid level at which the first float valve body closes the first seal seat.
