    Abstract: A rod having a substantially-cylindrical shape with both ends being covered is provided to a lid body, which covers an upper end surface of a case having a bottomed substantially-cylindrical shape, the rod protruding in the case. A first hole is formed in a portion of a side surface of the rod, which is exposed to the inside of the case. Further, an air vent pit (passage) is formed in the lid body, and a second hole is formed in a portion of the side surface of the rod, which is exposed to the inside of the air vent pit. A moving member moves along the rod from a first position at which the moving member does not cover the first hole and a second position at which the moving member covers the first hole.

    Abstract: Inside a tank body storing a liquid, a return filter is provided protruding downward from an upper surface of the tank body, and a substantially plate-like (plate-shaped) float is also provided that is inserted into the tank body and floats in accordance with change in a liquid surface of the liquid stored in the tank body. The float is provided with an opening larger than a diameter of a filter case, and in a plan view, the float is disposed between the tank body and the filter case.

    Abstract: When air inside a filter device is purged, filtered liquid can be discharged together with air to the outside of the filter device. A casing is provided inside a tank, a filter element is provided inside the casing, and a lid is provided so as to cover the upper face of the casing and the upper face of the tank. A first through-hole is formed in the substantially center of an upper plate that covers the upper end face of a filtration member of a filter element and is abutted with the lower face of the lid; in a plan view, a second through-hole, in which a first opening being one end is disposed at a position overlapped with the first through-hole, and a second opening being the other end is disposed between the side face of the tank and the side face of the casing, is formed in the lid; and the first through-hole and the second through-hole communicate with the hollow portion of the filtration member and space that is inside the tank and outside the casing.

    Abstract: When a lid covers an opening portion formed at an upper end of a filter case with a bottomed substantially cylindrical shape inside which a filter element is disposed, the internal space between the lid and the filter case is formed. A bypass flow path connecting the internal space and outside space is formed in the lid, and a relief valve disposed moveably between a position closing the bypass flow path and a position opening the bypass flow path includes an air bleeder formed from a porous material.

    Abstract: A liquid is made to flow into a filter case from a tangential direction at any point on a side surface of the filter case and produces a swirling flow. Bubbles collected in a center of the swirling flow are retained by a retainer plate, thereby removing the bubbles from the liquid. A filter element filters the liquid from which the bubbles were removed.
