Patent attributes
A lid member 24 of a valve device 6 is detachably attached to a main body housing 21 fixed to a casing 5. A connection pipe is attached to the lid member 24. A pipe fitting 40 is connected to a pipe fixed to the casing 5. When the lid member 24 is mounted to the main body housing 21, the connection pipe is inserted in the pipe fitting 40 connected to the pipe 11. Thus, the lid member 24 can be mounted to the main body housing 21, with the lid member disposed at a fixed position relative to the main body housing 21. When the lid member 24 is detached from the main body housing 21, the connection pipe 25 is separated from the internal of the pipe fitting 40, and thus, the pipe 11 connected to the pipe fitting 40 does not move together with the lid member 24, and is maintained to be disposed at the fixed position in the casing 5. As a result, the pipe 11 can be prevented from hindering operation of an operator.
