Publication number: 20240125400Abstract: Included are: a cylindrical body (cylindrical portion 16) provided with a shaft portion (18); and a first valve body (11) that is in close contact with the shaft portion to close an opening portion (22) of the cylindrical body, and is separated from the shaft portion when pressure (P) in the cylindrical body rises to a threshold (Pth) or higher by gas that has entered the cylindrical body, to release the gas from the cylindrical body to the outside. The valve body includes a closing portion (40) that receives the pressure (P) of the gas in the cylindrical body. The pressure received by the closing portion (40) serves as a valve opening force. As a result, the discharge characteristics of the gas filling a case are improved to enhance a pressure regulation function.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: NIPPON CHEMI-CON CORPORATIONInventors: Ryoichi Yasuda, Ikufumi Honda, Atsushi Koga, Hiroshi Komatsu, Satoru Tsumeda, Shin Watanabe
