1. A damping device, including:

  • a cylindrical case member;

    a pin member which is inserted slidably in the case member; and

    a coil spring which is accommodated in the case member and through which the pin member is inserted,wherein an end portion of the case member includes;

    a hole forming portion which forms an insertion hole through which the pin member is inserted; and

    a slit which allows the hole forming portion to be deformed to be enlarged in size,wherein a tapered portion which slants with respect to an axial direction of the case member is formed on at least one of an outer circumferential surface of the pin member and an inner circumferential surface of the hole forming portion,wherein the outer circumferential surface of the pin member and the inner circumferential surface of the hole forming portion slide via the tapered portion as a result of a movement of the pin member in a direction of being pushed into the insertion hole from an inner side of the case member to thereby forcibly spread the insertion hole,wherein a wound end portion of the coil spring is supported by the end portion of the case member,wherein the end portion of the case member further includes a projecting portion which projects inwards of the case member axial direction, the projecting portion extending inside the coil spring, andwherein the projecting portion defines the inner circumferential surface of the hole forming portion.
