Abstract
A cap which is so constructed that parts manufacture and product assembly are facilitated. The construction is such that a cap for a master cylinder reservoir connects a cover cap and a body cap with each other and a diaphragm is disposed in a space formed therebetween to provide a valve function. The cover cap has a concentric cylindrical portion and an annular protrusion, while the body cap has a funnel portion at its center and an annular disc portion at the periphery of the funnel portion. The diaphragm is fitted between the inner periphery of annular protrusion of the cover cap and the outer periphery of the funnel portion of the body cap. The diaphragm forms a suction valve and an exhaust valve together with the cylindrical portion and the annular disc portion, respectively.
