Abstract

An air-permeable cover includes a substrate having a plurality of holes. The substrate has a first surface on which one end of each of the plurality of holes is open, and the first surface has a plurality of first protruding portions. The plurality of first protruding portions is arranged in regions between the plurality of holes on the first surface in accordance with an arrangement of the plurality of holes.

Claims (52)

1. An air-permeable cover comprising:

a substrate having a plurality of holes,

the substrate having a first surface on which one end of each of the plurality of holes is open, and the first surface having a plurality of first protruding portions,

the substrate having a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface, the second surface having a plurality of second protruding portions,

the plurality of first protruding portions being arranged in regions between the plurality of holes on the first surface in accordance with an arrangement of the plurality of holes,

the plurality of second protruding portions being arranged in regions between the plurality of holes on the second surface in accordance with the arrangement of the plurality of holes, and

the substrate including the plurality of first protruding portion and the plurality of second protruding portions being integrally formed as a one-piece member.

2. The air-permeable cover of claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of holes and the plurality of first protruding portions are regularly arranged in two dimensions.

3. The air-permeable cover of claim 2 , wherein

when an arrangement pitch of the plurality of holes is h and an arrangement pitch of the plurality of first protruding portions is a,

nh=ma

where n and m are integers equal to or greater than 1.

4. The air-permeable cover of claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of first protruding portions each have a top rounded.

5. The air-permeable cover of claim 2 , wherein

the plurality of first protruding portions each have a top rounded.

6. The air-permeable cover of claim 3 , wherein

the plurality of first protruding portions each have a top rounded.

7. The air-permeable cover of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate has a base that has the plurality of first protruding portions thereon, and

the top of each of the plurality of first protruding portions has a height that is equal to or higher than 20% of a thickness of the base.

8. The air-permeable cover of claim 2 , wherein

the substrate has a base that has the plurality of first protruding portions thereon, and

the top of each of the plurality of first protruding portions has a height that is equal to or higher than 20% of a thickness of the base.

9. The air-permeable cover of claim 4 , wherein

the substrate has a base that has the plurality of first protruding portions thereon, and

the top of each of the plurality of first protruding portions has a height that is equal to or higher than 20% of a thickness of the base.

10. A perforated member comprising:

a substrate having a plurality of holes,

the substrate having a first surface on which one end of each of the plurality of holes is open, and the first surface having a plurality of first protruding portions,

the plurality of first protruding portions being arranged in regions between the plurality of holes on the first surface in accordance with an arrangement of the plurality of holes,

the plurality of holes each having an opening edge rounded, and

the substrate having a thickness that changes along a circumferential direction of at least a part of each of the plurality of holes.

11. A perforated member comprising:

a substrate having a plurality of holes,

the substrate having a first surface on which one end of each of the plurality of holes is open, and the first surface having a plurality of first protruding portions,

the plurality of first protruding portions being arranged in regions between the plurality of holes on the first surface in accordance with an arrangement of the plurality of holes,

the plurality of holes each having an area that changes along a normal direction of the first surface,

at least a part of an inner wall surface of each of the plurality of holes at a position where the area is the smallest being configured as a curved surface expanding toward an inside of each of the plurality of holes, and

the substrate having a thickness that changes along a circumferential direction of at least a part of each of the plurality of holes.

12. A perforated member comprising:

a substrate having a plurality of holes,

the substrate having a first surface on which one end of each of the plurality of holes is open, and the first surface having a plurality of first protruding portions,

the plurality of first protruding portions being arranged in regions between the plurality of holes on the first surface in accordance with an arrangement of the plurality of holes, and

the substrate having a thickness that changes along a circumferential direction of at least a part of each of the plurality of holes.

13. An air-permeable member including the perforated member of claim 10 .

14. An air-permeable member including the perforated member of claim 11 .

15. An air-permeable member including the perforated member of claim 12 .

16. An air-permeable cover including the air-permeable member of claim 13 .

17. An air-permeable cover including the air-permeable member of claim 14 .

18. An air-permeable cover including the air-permeable member of claim 15 .
