Cylinder device and vehicle brake system
A cylinder device includes a regulation mechanism that regulates separation distance between a front piston and a rear piston. A spring seat member of the regulation mechanism includes a spring reception part that projects toward a retainer side to receive a rear end of a spring, a cup seal holding part that projects on an opposite side from the retainer to hold a cup seal arranged on the rear piston, and a projection part that projects on the opposite side from the retainer. The projection part becomes abuttable on the retainer by a stroke of the rear piston if the spring reception part and the cup seal holding part are installed reversely-oriented on the rear piston.

6. A vehicle brake system comprising the cylinder device according to claim 2 , wherein
the cylinder device is activated by an electric actuator to generate hydraulic pressure, and
the vehicle brake system further comprises a brake hydraulic pressure generator that generates the hydraulic pressure in response to an input from a driver and a hydraulic pressure controller that performs brake control using the brake hydraulic pressure outputted from the slave cylinder device.
7. The cylinder device according to claim 1 , wherein an enlarged diameter part is formed in an opening of the screw hole for inserting the projection part.
8. The cylinder device according to claim 7 , wherein the bolt is inserted in an insertion hole of the spring seat member via clearance and screwed in the screw hole, to press an insertion end of the bolt to contact on a bottom of the screw hole.
9. The cylinder device according to claim 7 , wherein
the screw hole includes a female screw part that is formed on an opening side and a straight part that is formed on a bottom side continuously from the female screw part, and
the bolt includes a male screw part that is screwed with the female screw part and an end part that is formed continuously from an end of the male screw part to be inserted in the straight part.
10. A vehicle brake system comprising the cylinder device according to claim 7 , wherein
the cylinder device is activated by an electric actuator to generate hydraulic pressure, and
the vehicle brake system further comprises a brake hydraulic pressure generator that generates the hydraulic pressure in response to an input from a driver and a hydraulic pressure controller that performs brake control using the brake hydraulic pressure outputted from the slave cylinder device.
11. The cylinder device according to claim 1 , wherein the bolt is inserted in an insertion hole of the spring seat member via clearance and screwed in the screw hole, to press an insertion end of the bolt to contact on a bottom of the screw hole.
12. The cylinder device according to claim 11 , wherein
