A vent assembly has a housing defining a cavity, a first end, a second end, and a coupling structure towards the second end. A mounting surface is positioned between the first end and the second end within the cavity and defines a valve opening and a vent opening. A vent is coupled to the mounting surface across the vent opening, and an umbrella valve is sealably disposed on the mounting surface across a valve opening.

A ventilation component (1) includes a gas-permeable membrane (10), a ventilation valve (20), and a structural member (30). The ventilation component (1) is to be attached to a housing (2) having a ventilation opening (5). The ventilation valve (20) includes an elastic body, and is opened and closed by elastic deformation of the elastic body. The structural member (30) supports the gas-permeable membrane (10) and the ventilation valve (20). In an attached state where the ventilation component (1) is attached to the housing (2), ventilation between an inside of the housing (2) and an outside of the housing (2) is carried out via the gas-permeable membrane (10), and the ventilation valve (20) is opened to discharge a gas inside the housing 2 to the outside of the housing 2 when a difference between a pressure inside the housing (2) and a pressure outside the housing (2) is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. The elastic body included in the ventilation valve (20) is formed of a rubber whose rate of change in breaking strength is 95% to 120%.

A breather device includes an intake path configured to communicate between an interior space of a target case and an exterior space, an exhaust path configured to communicate between the interior space and the exterior space and at least partially separated from the intake path, an intake valve inserted in the intake path and configured to allow outside air to flow into the interior space only when an internal pressure Pi is lower, at least by a fixed extent, than an external pressure Po, and an exhaust valve inserted in the exhaust path and configured to allow gas within the interior space to flow toward the exterior space only when the internal pressure Pi is higher, at least by a fixed extent, than the external pressure Po, and a water stop filter disposed downstream of the intake valve in an intake air flowing direction in the intake path.

A ventilation control valve for a fuel tank is disposed in a ventilation passage which communicates an inside and an outside of a fuel tank. The ventilation control valve includes a float that floats on a liquid level of a fuel and moves up and down. The ventilation control valve includes a valve mechanism which switches a passage sectional area of the ventilation passage in conjunction with the float to an open state and a restricted state in which the passage sectional area is restricted from the opened state. The float has a volume chamber in which volume changes in accordance with a vertical movement of the float. A control gap as a flow rate adjusting mechanism is formed between the cylindrical wall of the float and the cylindrical wall of a case. Due to the control gap, the volume chamber functions as a damper.

A drainage device includes a conduit extending from a bottom end toward a top end and a valve coupled to the conduit. The valve includes a first stop having an opening and an obstruction within the conduit. The obstruction, in a first configuration, may be spaced apart from the opening, enabling fluid to flow through the first stop and through the conduit. The obstruction, in a second configuration, may block the opening to prevent fluid flow through the first stop and through the conduit. The obstruction may move from the first configuration to the second configuration in response to (1) fluid pressure acting in a direction from the bottom end toward the top end of the conduit, or (2) when a fluid having a higher density than the obstruction is disposed within the valve.

A ventilation component 1 includes a ventilation path 10 for allowing ventilation between an inner space 2u and an outer space 2s of a housing 2. The ventilation path 10 is a path for allowing ventilation between the internal space 2u and the outer space 2s when the ventilation component 1 is attached to an edge 2f. The ventilation component 1 includes a supporting portion 12, a gas-permeable membrane 11, a protruding portion 13, and a sealing member 14. The supporting portion 12 surrounds the ventilation path 10. The gas-permeable membrane 11 is bonded to the supporting portion 12 and closes the ventilation path 10 in a ventilatable manner. The protruding portion 13 is a part having a tubular shape, the part being arranged to protrude from the supporting portion 12 and surround one end of the ventilation path 10, the part being configured to be in contact with the edge 2f when the ventilation component 1 is attached to the edge 2f. The ventilation component 1 satisfies requirements 2.5≤Gs/Gt≤5.0 and 1.0≤{(Gs−Gt)/2}/Lt≤3.0.

A controllable gas-storage-form gas supply tube device includes a three way tube having a first opening, a second opening and a third opening; an electric control valve device installed in the three way tube for controlling connections of the three openings; an input tube, a close form air storage tube and a draining tube are connected to the first, second and third openings, respectively. When the electric control valve device is at a first position, the third opening is closed and the first and second openings are communicated so that gas from the input tube flows to the close form air storage tube and is stored therein. When the electric control valve device is at a second position, the first opening is closed, and the second and third openings are communicated so that gas in the close form air storage tube flow to the draining tube.
