Breather device and engine

Abstract

This breather device separates engine oil included in a blow-by gas. The breather device comprises a first route, an acceleration route, a branching route, and turn-back routes. The blow-by gas flows to the first route. The acceleration route is connected to a downstream side of the first route, and has a flow channel cross-sectional area smaller than that of the first route. The branching route is connected to a downstream side of the acceleration route, configured including a wall part orthogonal to the acceleration route, and branched into two routes by the wall part. The turn-back routes are connected to one route branching at the branching route, and are turned back so as to be parallel to the acceleration route and to head in the opposite direction from a progressing direction.
