(Question 1)
Pressure Regulator
What Is Claimed Is:
1.

A pressure regulator comprising:an outer casing having an interior divided into two chambers

byapartition

wallinwhich

afluidcommunicationpassagecommunicating both the chambers is formed;
a diaphragm disposed in one chamber of the casing andreceiving, at one surface thereof, a fluid pressure to be regulated;a first valve unit including a valve body, operative by thediaphragm, and a valve seat operating in association with the valve
body;
a spring disposed in another chamber in the casing andapplying an urging force to another surface of the diaphragm tothereby open the first valve unit; anda second valve unit disposed in the another chamber in thecasing and configured to interrupt fluid communication through thefluidcommunicationpassageformedinthepartition

wall

in

accordance with displacement of the diaphragm.

2.

The pressure regulator according to claim 1, wherein thecasing is formed with a screw hole in which an adjusting screw isfitted so as to compress the spring.

Related Art (Background Art)An outboard motor is generally held in a tilted up state
about a tilt axis of a bracket assembly at a time when the outboard
motor is not in use. With a small outboard motor, the tilt-up
operation is manually performed by an operator. However, evensuch a small-sized outboard motor is relatively heavy, and in acertain case, it may be difficult to manually perform the tilt-up
operation. In order to obviate such defect, an outboard motor
equipped with an assist device, for example, a gas-assist cylinder
device, for assisting the manual tilt-up operation has been
proposed.
However, although the provision of such an assist device
facilitates the tilt up operation, it results in an increase in theoverall weight of the outboard motor as well as an increase in themanufacturing cost.
The present invention was conceived in consideration of thecircumstances mentioned above, and an object of the present
invention is to provide an outboard motor in which it is possible toeasily perform the manual tilt up operation without using any assist
device.

Linear Motion Guide Device
Description of the Preferred EmbodimentFig. 1 shows a linear motion guide device (or linear rollingmotion guide device) 1 according to one embodiment of the present
invention. The linear motion guide device 1 includes a guide rail 4
serving as a track member and a movable block 2 serving as a
movable member, the movable block 2 being supported by the guiderail 4 via a number of balls 3, 3, --.
The movable block 2 includes, as shown in Fig. 2, a movable
block body 6 and end plates 7 and 8 mounted to both longitudinalends of the movable block body 6. The movable block body 6 hassubstantially an inverted U-shaped cross section, and is provided
with a horizontal portion 6a, facing an upper surface of the guiderail 4, and a pair of leg portions 6b, 6b extending downward fromboth ends of the horizontal portion 6a so as to oppose to the lateralside surfaces of the guide rail 4. The paired leg portions 6b, 6b areformed, in inside surfaces thereof, with loaded ball rolling grooves 9
corresponding to ball rolling grooves 5 formed in the side surfaces 4aof the guide rail 4.
Guide portions 10 are formed linearly along the loaded ballrolling grooves 9 of the movable block body 6.
