Abstract
A breather device includes: a breather path with a first end open to the atmosphere and a second end in communication with the inside of a housing; and a valve mechanism that blocks the first end of the breather path when the water pressure of water flowing toward the breather path acts on the valve mechanism, but that otherwise leaves the first end of the breather path open.
