Abstract: An indicator includes a case mountable in a gas filling passage of a pressure container; a valve element which is urged toward one side of the case connectable to the pressure container, the valve element being movable in the case to a position balanced with gas pressure in the pressure container; a seal member for ensuring gas tightness between the valve element and the case; and an indicating member slidable relative to the case between a position protruding outside the case and a position not protruding. The spring force and a gas pressure force may be equally balanced at first and second balanced positions of the valve element.

Abstract: A press molding device, which has a die 2, a punch 3 and a cushion ring constituted by a first cushion ring 5 and a second cushion ring 6, is characterized in that the first cushion ring 5 is disposed around the punch 3, the punch 3 has a void 3c which houses the second cushion ring 6, and the second cushion ring 6 is housed in the void 3c of the punch 3 and has a reinforcing structure 50 maintaining posture of the second cushion ring 6.

Abstract: The problem of a conventional press molder is insufficient rigidity of an annular cushion ring receiving inward force, which cannot prevent a lower portion of the cushion ring from deforming, i.e., bending and expanding outward. A press molder (1) according to the present invention comprises a die (2), a punch (3) and a cushion ring (5). The cushion ring (5) has a rib (51) which is a reinforcing structure so as to be prevented from being bent at the time of press molding, and the punch (3) is formed therein with a recess (31) which is a reinforcing structure a escape part so as to prevent the punch 3 from interfering with the rib (51) of the cushion ring (5).

Abstract: An indicator includes a case mountable in a gas filling passage of a pressure container; a valve element which is urged toward one side of the case connectable to the pressure container, the valve element being movable in the case to a position balanced with gas pressure in the pressure container; an O-ring serving as a seal member for ensuring gas tightness between the valve element and the case; and an indicating member slidable relative to the case between a position protruding outside the case and a position not protruding. The O-ring is arranged on the valve element so that the O-ring is in contact with the case to ensure gas tightness when the valve element is in a first balanced position while a gas pressure in the pressure container is e.g. 7 MPa or higher and the O-ring is out of contact with the case not to ensure gas tightness when the valve element is in a second balanced position while the gas pressure is less than e.g. 7 MPa.
