  • Patent number: 10041595
    Abstract: In order to prevent gaps from occurring in corner sections in a section where three surfaces are joined together, comprising the combination of a housing, grommet and cover, or the like, thereby improve sealing, a seal structure, which is provided with a housing in which a notch-shaped grommet-mounting section is disposed, a grommet, a cover and a metal substrate gasket, is provided, wherein the grommet is provided with a seal projection, and the seal projection forms a protruding section due to a portion of the seal projection protruding toward the metal substrate gasket when the seal projection makes intimate contact with the inner surface of the grommet-mounting section. The metal substrate gasket is provided with two seal lines and a groove-shaped recess between the seal lines. When nipped, the protruding section of the seal projection is tightly compressed inside the groove-shaped recess in the metal substrate gasket.

  • Patent number: 8276479
    Abstract: To perform exhaustion to regulate pressure in a case with surely recovering liquid in the case without draining it, even when the pressure in the case rises rapidly, a breather for regulating internal pressure in a case by performing exhaustion to the outside when the internal pressure exceeds predetermined pressure thereby reducing the internal pressure, includes an exhaust passage leading from the inside of the case to the outside; a liquid recovery passage for recovering liquid discharged from the inside of the case to the inside of the case; and a discharge valve means which opens when the internal pressure in the case exceeds the predetermined pressure, wherein the liquid recovery passage is provided at the atmosphere side beyond the discharge valve means, and a recovery valve means is provided in the liquid recovery passage.
