Abstract: The first corner portion elastically deforms in application of load such that the angle of the first corner portion changes depending on the pressing force from the first member. In this case, the first corner portion can move toward the outside of the inner periphery portion of the main body portion while the angle changes. The second corner portion has the same function as that of the first corner portion, and it can move toward the outside of the outer periphery portion of the main body portion while the angle changes depending on the pressing force from the second member in the elastic deformation of the second corner portion. As a result, the spring can prevent generation of hysteresis in load characteristics without increasing the number of parts, and enables height adjustment of the spring.

Abstract: A spring, provided between a first member and a second member, includes a main body portion having a hole portion; a cylindrical portion provided at the radially inner circumference and the radially outer circumference of the main body portion; and a corner portion formed at a boundary portion between the main body portion and the cylindrical portion; in which the main body portion is extended to a crossing direction with respect to a direction along suppress strength provided from the first member and the second member, the cylindrical portion has an abutting portion protruding from each circumference of the main body portion toward one of the first member and the second member and abutting thereat, the corner portions can be elastically deformed while varying angles thereof according to the suppression strength, and the corner portion defines a tangent line along the main body portion, and at least one of tangent lines of the corner portions makes a predetermined angle with respect to a straight line betwee

Abstract: A suspension device is equipped with a damper including a piston portion, a suspension spring, an upper seat, and a spring. The spring is arranged between the piston portion and the upper seat and is an elastic member for receiving a load from the damper. The spring has load characteristics in which hysteresis does not occur, whereby a dynamic spring constant can be small. Therefore, transmission of vibrations in a high-frequency range and an infinitesimal amplitude range is decreased. The spring has a main body that functions as a disc spring portion. Therefore, the spring constant in a direction perpendicular to an axis line of the damper is large, whereby stiffness in the direction perpendicular to the axis line is increased. As a result, ride quality is improved, and stable handling is obtained.
