  • Patent number: 10167985
    Abstract: One embodiment discloses a pressure buffer device, which includes a pipe-shaped member that stores fluid, and a partitioning member that is movably provided in the pipe-shaped member to partition its space into a first space and a second space. The pressure buffer device further includes a fluid reservoir portion that is arranged at the a radial outer side of the pipe-shaped member to store fluid, and a communication path that is arranged at a radial outer side of the fluid reservoir portion to communicate between the first space and the second space.

  • Patent number: 10030735
    Abstract: A hydraulic damping device includes a cylinder 11, a cylinder 12, a piston 30 that partitions a space in the cylinder 11, a piston rod 20 that is connected to the piston 30, a bottom valve 40 that separates the interior of the cylinder 11 from a reservoir chamber R and has a communication passage of a liquid between the interior of the cylinder 11 and the reservoir chamber R, and a check valve mechanism 50 that is disposed in a radial direction of an area where movement of the piston 30 in the cylinder 11 is restricted or an area extended axially on an outer side of the cylinder 11, and permits a flow in one direction between the interior of the cylinder 11 and the reservoir chamber R caused by the movement of the piston 30 and restricts the flow in the other direction.

  • Publication number: 20170058987
    Abstract: A pressure damping device includes a cylinder, a partitioning section, a flow channel formation section, a valve section a bypass channel and a throttle section. The flow channel formation section forms a flow channel, through which the fluid flows, in conjunction with a movement of the partitioning section. The valve section controls a flow of the fluid in the flow channel of the flow channel formation section. The bypass channel forms a flow of the fluid that bypasses the flow of the fluid flowing through the flow channel while opening the valve section. The throttle section that throttles the flow of the fluid through the bypass channel further on an outer side than the valve section with respect to the flow channel formation section.

  • Patent number: 9499021
    Abstract: An elastic sheet includes: a seating portion by which the coil spring is supported and which has a circular arc shape in a view from the axial direction, one circumferential side of the seating portion being a side of entry of the coil spring; and a pair of sidewall portions extending from respective width-wise opposite ends of the seating portion toward the coil spring side, at least one of the sidewall portions has a wire contact surface that contacts a wire forming the coil spring and an inclined surface inclined so as to approach the spring bearing as the inclined surface extends widthwise outward from the wire contact surface, and a radius of curvature of the wire contact surface at least at a side closest to the inclined surface is smaller than a radius of the wire.
