A gas-permeable plug is adapted to be inserted in an insertion hole formed
through a part of a casing in an inward-outward direction. The
gas-permeable plug has a plug body and a permeable sheet including
therein countless minute permeable pores. The plug body is injection
molded from a material having rubber-like elasticity and the permeable
sheet is integrally bonded to a sheet bonding portion by an anchor
operation such that when the plug body is injection molded, at the sheet
bonding portion, a part of a heat-melted liquid resin enters the minute
permeable pores and/or the permeable gaps in irregular directions by the
injection molding pressure and is solidified.
