Abstract

A pressure gas container includes a liner to store a gas, a reinforcing layer provided on an outer side of the liner, a boss attached to the liner, and an attachment attached to an outer surface of the liner. The boss has an opening through which the gas is introduced into the liner and through which the gas inside the liner is released. The attachment is to support the liner rotatably when the reinforcing layer is provided. At least one of the boss and the attachment has a gas release channel that allows communication between a gap formed between the outer side and an inner side of the reinforcing layer and a space outside the pressure gas container to release the gas having permeated through the liner and present in the gap between the liner and the reinforcing layer to the space.

Claims (14)

1. A pressure gas container comprising:

a liner to store a gas thereinside;

a reinforcing layer provided on an outer side of the liner;

a boss attached to the liner, the boss having an opening through which the gas is introduced into the liner and through which the gas inside the liner is released; and

an attachment attached to an outer surface of the liner, the attachment being used to support the liner such that the liner is rotatable when the reinforcing layer is provided, at least one of the boss and the attachment having an accumulated gas release channel that allows communication between a gap formed between the outer side of the liner and an inner side of the reinforcing layer and a space outside the pressure gas container so as to release the gas having permeated through the liner and present in the gap between the liner and the reinforcing layer to the space outside the pressure gas container,

wherein the attachment has the accumulated gas release channel, and

wherein the attachment has a recessed gas vent passage that is formed at a position opposite the outer surface of the liner, radially extends from the accumulated gas release channel at the center, and communicates with the accumulated gas release channel.

2. The pressure gas container according to claim 1 ,

wherein a gas permeation member that allows the gas in the gap between the liner and the reinforcing layer to permeate therethrough is disposed in the accumulated gas release channel.

3. The pressure gas container according to claim 1 ,

wherein a plug that suppresses releasing of the gas is disposed in the accumulated gas release channel.

4. A vehicle comprising:
