Cylindrical shock absorber with cover
First Claim
1. A cylindrical shock absorber with a cover comprises an oil pressure damper, a piston rod making a piston of the oil pressure damper to slide, a cushion spring supported on the piston rod side with one end thereof and supported on a spring seat provided freely to move in an axis direction and to rotate on an outer face of the oil pressure damper with other end thereof, an adjuster capable to freely move for adjusting in an axis direction integrally with the spring seat by rotating on the outer face of the oil pressure damper and the cover covering at least a part of the cushion spring provided integrally with the spring seat, wherein an elastic member is interposed between the spring seat and the adjuster on the outer face of the oil pressure damper.

Abstract
The shock absorber includes an oil pressure damper (1), a piston rod (2) and a cushion spring (3), wherein the cushion spring (3) contacts to the piston rod side with an end thereof and another end (6) thereof contacts to a spring receiving face (8) of a spring seat (7). Since the spring seat (7) is integrated with an adjuster (10) by engaging claws (9) with the adjuster (10) and is also integrated with a movable cover (20), the spring seat (7), the adjuster (10) and the movable cover (20) rotate and move to an axial direction as one body. Further, an O-ring (17) is provided in a space formed by an lower end face (15) of the spring receiving face (8) and an inner side arc portion of a flange (11) between an outer face of the oil pressure damper (1) and therewith, the lower end face (15) of the spring receiving surface (8) and the inner side arc portion (16) and is elastically supported by the O-ring (17) in a state that the space formed between the outer surface of the oil pressure damper (1) and therewith is buried in non-looseness.
