Abstract
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.
