Abstract: An air spring according to this invention enables easy and reliable adjustment of a space between stoppers. Specifically, an upper member (3) and a lower member (4) are secured to upper and lower ends of a bellows (2). Stopper faces (5) and (6) that come in contact with each other to limit the amount of displacement of the upper member (3) are formed on the upper member (3) and the lower member (4). A movable body (7) that can move vertically to adjust the height of the stopper face (6) is provided in the lower member (4). A holding body (8) is provided that holds the movable body (7) in a manner that enables vertical movement thereof. The movable body (7) is capable of relative rotation around a central axis (18) with respect to the holding body (8). On at least one of the movable body (7) and the holding body (8), tapers (32) and (41) are formed that are capable of sliding with respect to the other of the movable body (7) and the holding body (8).

Abstract: The present invention provides a rubber stopper that can set a shape suitable for mounting and set a desired stopper characteristic. Specifically, a holding fitting 3 fastened to one member by means of bolting is provided. A rubber section 4 that abuts against the other member is held by the holding fitting 3. The holding fitting 3 has a partition wall 8 to divide between a peripheral edge of a bolt hole 7 and a holding section 9 that holds the rubber section 4. A rubber side abutment surface 12 in the rubber section 4 protrudes from a top of the partition wall 8. A bored section 13 is formed near the partition wall 8 of the rubber section 4. The bored section 13 increases durability of the rubber section 4. A size of the rubber stopper 1 is reduced.
