Provided is an internal pressure adjustment member to be attached to an outer surface of a housing, the member having high air permeability even when a differential pressure that can be generated between the inside and the outside of a housing to which the internal pressure adjustment member is attached is small, and inhibiting damage to the member and a reduction in the air permeability of the member due to coming soil and mud. The internal pressure adjustment member includes: a filter portion including a net-like or mesh-like support layer and first and second porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes laminated on the support layer such that the support layer is interposed therebetween, the first porous PTFE membrane being exposed on one surface of the filter portion, the second porous PTFE membrane being exposed on another surface of the filter portion; and an adhesive portion, formed on the one surface of the filter portion, for attaching the filter portion to the outer surface of the housing. The first porous PTFE membrane and the second porous PTFE membrane each have an average pore diameter of 2.0 &#x3bc;m or more, the filter portion has a thickness of 140 &#x3bc;m or less, and the filter portion has a density of 0.60 g/cmor less.

Infernal pressure adjustment member and electrical component for transport equipment

A method of manufacturing a support member, which includes a tubular-shaped tubular part and a coupling part coupling one portion and another portion of an inner circumferential surface of the tubular part to support a ventilation membrane, includes filling a fixed mold and a movable mold with a thermoplastic material or a thermosetting material, wherein the thermoplastic material or the thermosetting material is injected from a gate in the coupling part to be charged from the coupling part toward the cylindrical part.

Method for manufacturing supporting body

A ventilation housing of the present disclosure includes: a housing; and a ventilation assembly. The housing includes a tubular projection extending to project from an outer surface and internally having a first space communicating the inside and the outside of the housing. The ventilation assembly includes: an internal member being a tubular body having an opening at a first end portion and an opening at a second end portion; a gas-permeable membrane covering the opening at the first end portion of the internal member; and an external member being a tubular body having a bottom, the external member being joined to the internal member with the internal member inserted in the interior of the external member from the first end portion side. The ventilation assembly is fixed to the projection with the projection inserted in the opening at the second end portion of the internal member to make an inner peripheral surface of the internal member and an outer peripheral surface of the projection abut each other. The ventilation assembly has a second space serving as a ventilation path connecting the gas-permeable membrane and the outside of the ventilation assembly in the inside of the internal member, the inside of the external member, and/or an interspace between the internal member and the external member joined together. A height Hof the internal member is 6 to 10 mm. A ratio of the height Hof the internal member to a height Hof the projection is 1.00 to 1.70. The ventilation housing of the present disclosure exhibits excellent performance in terms of moisture permeation between the inside and the outside of the housing and is capable of reducing dropping of the ventilation assembly from the projection of the housing.

Ventilation housing

A ventilation housing includes a housing and ventilation component. A housing tubular projecting part has a communicating hole between housing inner and outer spaces. The ventilation component has: an attachment member over the projecting part with a contacting inner surface; an attachment member supported ventilation body covering a hole end portion between the inner and outer spaces; and a covering member including peripheral and top parts over the attachment member. At least one ventilation path connects the ventilation body and the outer space. A first contact part between an attachment member outer surface outermost protruding portion and covering member peripheral part inner surface is closer to the inner space than an end portion on the outer space side in a second contact part being a contact portion between the housing projecting part outer surface and the attachment member inner surface.
