Abstract: A fixing bracket for a pressurized fluid buffer device such as a shock absorber or the like is formed as a single piece U-shaped bracket having a circular body portion for surrounding an outer cylinder of the shock absorber and opposed mounting flange portions for attachment to a vehicular chassis. At a location axially outward of the location of bolt holes for attaching the fixing bracket, opposes pairs of projected tooth portions are provided oriented toward each other to contact an exposed portion of the outer cylinder. According to this structure, during vehicle bouncing, for examples the tooth portions are urged to wedge, or bite into the outer cylinder for counteracting forces in a separation direction of the flange portions. Thus, strength is improved while installation processing is reduced. Further, according to this arrangement both manufacturing and installation costs may be significantly reduced while structural features and design flexibility are improved.
