Patent ID: 8231101

Claim:
A valve and resin cylinder housing therefor being formed of a resin including glass fibers, comprising: a receiving opening structure of a joint for working fluid comprising a resin providing a tensile elongation of 50%-400% and a tensile strength of 50 MPa-200 MPa, the receiving opening structure being configured as a one-piece construction that is affixed to the resin cylinder housing and comprises a head portion comprising terminal end portions that abut outer peripheral portions of the resin cylinder housing and a nut portion on one end of the receiving opening structure that abuts outermost peripheral portions of the resin cylinder housing relatively adjacent the outer peripheral portions abutted by the terminal end portions so as to extend entirely continuously and uninterrupted from the resin cylinder housing, and a base portion continuous with the head portion and positioned on an opposite end of the receiving opening structure, the base portion, nut portion and head portions each comprising a respective diameter, the diameter of the base portion being smaller than the diameter of the head portion, and portions of the receiving opening structure intermediate the base portion and the nut portion comprising a diameter smaller than the nut portion diameter so that the nut portion comprises a larger relative diameter portion that substantially overlaps the outer peripheral surface of the resin cylinder housing at a point of abutment therewith, the nut portion being entirely horizontally and vertically spaced from the terminal end portions of the head portion that abut outer peripheral portions of the resin cylinder housing.
