Abstract
A shaft part is coaxially provided within a pressure release port provided in a sealing plate sealed to an opening portion of a case for a condenser or a battery, a valve body closely fitted and fixed within the pressure release port has a seal lip which is directed toward the outside of a pressure container and is closely contacted with an outer peripheral surface of the shaft part with predetermined tensional force, and in the case that internal pressure of the case is increased more than a predetermined value, the seal lip is operated so as to open the valve, thereby releasing the internal pressure to the atmospheric air.
Claims4
A pressure release valve comprising:
- a tubular holding portion formed in a protruding manner in a sealing plate sealed in an opening portion of a pressure container and provided with a pressure release port in an inner periphery;
- and
- a valve body held in the tubular holding portion,
- wherein the valve body is integrally formed by a rubber-like elastic material in a reinforcing ring and has a seal lip which is closely contacted with said tubular holding portion by predetermined tensional force and is operated so as to open the valve by predetermined internal pressure within the pressure container and a locking portion to said tubular holding portion, and the locking state of the locking portion is cancelled at a time when predetermined pressure higher than valve opening pressure of said seal lip is applied.
A pressure release valve comprising:

- and
- a valve body held in the tubular holding portion,
- wherein the valve body is integrally formed by a rubber-like elastic material in a reinforcing ring and has a seal lip which is closely contacted with said tubular holding portion by predetermined tensional force and is operated so as to open the valve by predetermined internal pressure within the pressure container and a locking portion to said tubular holding portion, and the locking state of the locking portion is cancelled at a time when predetermined pressure higher than valve opening pressure of said seal lip is applied,
- the valve body having a base portion arranged so as to close an outer end opening portion of the pressure release port, the seal lip being extended from an outer periphery of said base portion so as to be closely contacted with an outer peripheral surface of the tubular holding portion, the locking portion being formed in a leading end of an elastic shaft part which is formed by a rubber-like elastic material so as to extend in an axial direction in an inner peripheral side of said seal lip from said base portion and being loosely inserted to the pressure release port, and a pressure passage being formed between said tubular holding portion and said base portion, and said elastic shaft part.
