Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a reservoir tank ( 5 ) of the present invention, a hydraulic fluid movement deterring wall ( 26 ) is disposed integrally with an upper half body ( 9 ) and extending toward a radial direction center of a cylindrical upper half body neck section ( 24 ) on a curved portion at a boundary between an inner peripheral surface ( 24 a ) of the cylindrical upper half body neck section ( 24 ) and an inner surface ( 25 a 1 ) of a ceiling portion ( 25 a ) of an upper half body trunk section ( 25 ) or on the inner peripheral surface ( 24 a ) of the upper half body neck section ( 24 ). The movement of the hydraulic fluid frontward (toward a hydraulic fluid inlet ( 10 )) in a hydraulic fluid storage chamber 13 at a time when the reservoir tank ( 5 ) is tilted frontward is controlled by this hydraulic fluid movement deterring wall ( 26 ).
