ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a first vent filter member which includes: an elastomer member made of a thermoplastic elastomer to which a water-repellent film can be fixed by fusion and having a cylindrical form whose one end part serves as an opening for insertion of a mounting part of a base; a water-repellent film thermally fusion-bonded to the other end part of the elastomer member; and a covering cap which protects the water-repellent film and has been fitted and fixed to the elastomer member in such a manner that a vent passageway is formed between the elastomer member and the covering cap, and a second vent filter member which includes: an elastomer member made of a thermoplastic elastomer to which a water-repellent film can be fixed by fusion and having a disk form which has on one side thereof a tapered insertional part to be inserted into a mounting part, is blocked on the other side with a mist barrier cover, and has a sealing/fixing part on the outer periphery thereof and a vent passageway extending from said one side to the outer periphery of said other side; and a water-repellent film fixed by fusion to the elastomer member somewhere in the vent passageway so as to block the vent passageway therewith. These vent filter members can be easily mounted, are less apt to suffer a decrease in breathing function caused by watertightness and water-repellent-film fouling, and are highly reliable.
