Abstract

A piston section includes a valve seat that forms a first compression-side oil path through which oil flows in accordance with relative movement of a piston rod against a first cylinder, a first compression-side valve section that performs opening-closing of the first compression-side oil path of the valve seat, an inner annular section annularly formed as projecting in the axial direction of the valve seat from the valve seat toward the first compression-side valve, and an extending section that extends in the radial direction of the valve seat from an outer side of the inner annular section to a position at the inner side from a second oil path opening of the first compression-side oil path and projects in the axial direction from the valve seat toward the first compression-side valve section.

Claims (29)

1. A pressure buffer device, comprising:

a cylinder that stores fluid;

a rod that moves in a cylinder axial direction with an end part thereof on one side located in the cylinder and an end part thereof on the other side projected from an opening of the cylinder; and

a damping force generating section that generates damping force for relative movement of the rod against the cylinder, wherein

the damping force generating section including a channel forming section that forms a channel through which the fluid flows in accordance with the relative movement of the rod against the cylinder, a valve that performs opening-closing of the channel of the channel forming section, an annular projecting section that is annularly formed as projecting in an axial direction of the channel forming section from the channel forming section toward the valve, and an extending section that extends in a radial direction of the channel forming section from an outer side of the annular projecting section,

an outermost end of the extending section in the radial direction is provided at a radially inner side of an innermost portion of a channel opening of the channel, and

the extending section projects in the axial direction from the channel forming section toward the valve.

2. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 , wherein projection height of the extending section in the axial direction is equal to or higher than the annular projecting section.

3. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 , wherein projection height of the extending section in the axial direction is lower than the annular projecting section.

4. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 , wherein the damping force generating section further includes a projecting section that is formed in the radial direction from the outer side of the extending section toward between the channel openings of the channel as having projection height being lower than the extending section.

5. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 , wherein the extending section further includes a cutout section that is concaved in the axial direction as extending in a circumferential direction of the channel forming section.

6. The pressure buffer device according to claim 5 , wherein the cutout section is concaved to a midpoint of height in the axial direction of the extending section.

7. A pressure buffer device, comprising:

a cylinder that stores fluid;

a rod that moves in a cylinder axial direction with an end part thereof on one side located in the cylinder and an end part thereof on the other side projected from an opening of the cylinder; and

a damping force generating section that generates damping force for relative movement of the rod against the cylinder,

the damping force generating section including a channel forming section that forms a channel through which the fluid flows in accordance with the relative movement of the rod against the cylinder, a valve that performs opening-closing of the channel of the channel forming section, an annular projecting section that is annularly formed as projecting in an axial direction of the channel forming section from the channel forming section toward the valve, and an extending section that extends in a radial direction of the channel forming section further outward from an outer side of the annular projecting section and projection height thereof from the channel forming section is lower than the annular projecting section.

8. The pressure buffer device according to claim 7 , further comprising an outer annular projecting section that is annularly formed as projecting in the axial direction toward the valve at the outer side of the extending section of the radial direction,

wherein the extending section is formed as extending to the outer annular projecting section.

9. The pressure buffer device according to claim 7 , further comprising an outer annular projecting section that is annularly formed as projecting in the axial direction toward the valve at the outer side of the extending section of the radial direction,

wherein the extending section is formed as being apart from the outer annular projecting section.

10. The pressure buffer device according to claim 7 , wherein the extending section includes a cutout section that is concaved in the axial direction as extending in a circumferential direction of the channel forming section.

11. A damping force generating member, comprising:

a channel forming section that forms a channel through which fluid flows in accordance with relative movement of a rod against a cylinder;

an annular projecting section that is annularly formed as projecting in an axial direction of the channel forming section;

an extending section that extends in a radial direction of the channel forming section from an outer side of the annular projecting section; and

an outer annular projecting section that is annularly formed as projecting in the axial direction at a radially outer side of the extending section, wherein

an outermost end of the extending section in the radial direction is provided at a radially inner side of an innermost portion of a channel opening of the channel, and

the extending section projects in the axial direction from the channel forming section.
