  • Publication number: 20230322035
    Abstract: This shock absorber includes an outer cylinder, and a bracket having a pair of extension parts. The outer cylinder has an opening and into which the inner cylinder is inserted and fixed. The pair of extension parts extend outward in a radial direction of the outer cylinder from different positions spaced apart in a circumferential direction of the outer cylinder. A hole portion and a reduced-rigidity part are provided in the pair of extension parts. The hole portion is provided at a position facing an attachment hole of an attachment member disposed between the pair of extension parts. The reduced-rigidity part is disposed at a disposition position on the outer cylinder side of the hole portion at the same position as the hole portion in the axial direction of the outer cylinder. The reduced-rigidity part has a lower rigidity than a position different from the disposition position.

  • Publication number: 20160301051
    Abstract: Provided is an assembled battery which can secure airtightness of a flow passage without a need of precise alignment when the flow passage is configured to discharge a gas released from a gas discharge valve and regardless of expansion/contraction of a battery. A battery holder includes a main body member which abuts on a wide surface of a battery housing in the direction of a thickness and an upper member of which one end is fixed to an upper end of the main body member and the other end abuts on an upper surface of the battery housing and is extended in the direction of the thickness. The upper member is formed to surround the gas discharge valve, and abuts on a lower surface of a gas conduit member to form a gas passage from the gas discharge valve to the gas conduit member.
