Patent number: 11513021Abstract: A physical quantity measuring device includes a cylindrical case, a cap member, and a sealing member. The cap member covers a circumferential portion of a through-hole of the cylindrical case, while the sealing member provides a seal between the through-hole and the cap member. The cap member is pivotally supported by an attachment target portion of a lid member so that the cap member is rotatable between a first orientation and a second orientation. A cap member engagement portion is insertable into an engagement-portion insertion hole in the first orientation and is engageable with the attachment target portion in the second orientation. A linear member of the sealing member is located, in the first orientation, in a region in a rotation direction from the first orientation to the second orientation. The linear member prevents loss of the cap member and is replaceable, together with the seal member, if damaged.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: NAGANO KEIKI CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuaki Kawase, Yuri Sugahara
