A steering device includes a rack shaft, a pair of tie rods, a rack housing portion, a pinion gear provided on one end side of the rack housing portion, a first supporting portion configured to support the one end side of the rack housing portion, and a second supporting portion configured to support the other end side of the rack housing portion. The second supporting portion is movable in an axial direction of the rack housing portion from a proper position where the second supporting portion fixes the rack housing portion by being mounted on the vehicle body to an escaping position on the side of the pinion gear. The escaping position is a position where a distance from a tip of the tie rod on the other end side of the rack housing portion to the second supporting portion is equal to or longer than a length of twice the entire length of the tie rod.
A steering device includes a rack housing portion housing a rack shaft, a pinion gear provided on one end side of the rack housing portion, a first supporting portion provided on the rack housing portion to support the one end side of the rack housing portion, and a second supporting portion provided on the rack housing portion to support the other end side of the rack housing portion. The second supporting portion includes a first vehicle body mounting portion and a second vehicle body mounting portion provided to project outwardly of the rack housing portion, the first and second vehicle body mounting portions being mounted on a vehicle body. The first and second vehicle body mounting portions are arranged to be shifted in an axial direction of the rack housing portion so as not to overlap in the axial direction.

This cylinder device (100, 200) is provided with: a cylinder (1) from one end of which a piston rod (1a) extends; a cover member (7, 70) of cylindrical shape for protecting the piston rod (1a), having an expandable bellows portion (7a, 70a) and a small-diameter portion (7b, 70b) of inside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the bellows portion (7a, 70a); and a cap member (6) fitted onto the cylinder (1), and furnished at the outer periphery with a protrusion (6a) that locks the small-diameter portion (7b, 70b) of the cover member (7, 70). A bulging portion (7d, 70d) that bulges diametrically outward is formed in the small-diameter portion (7b, 70b) of the cover member (7, 70).
B60G 15/07 - Resilient suspensions characterised by arrangement, location, or type of combined spring and vibration- damper, e.g. telescopic type having mechanical spring and fluid damper the damper being connected to the stub axle and the spring being arranged around the damper
F16J 15/52 - Sealings between relatively-movable members, by means of a sealing without relatively-moving surfaces, e.g. fluid-tight sealings for transmitting motion through a wall by means of sealing bellows or diaphragms
Provided is a cylinder device comprising a piston rod inserted in a cylinder so as to be capable of moving forward and backward. The piston rod has: a rod section extending to the outside of the cylinder; and a piston connected to an end of the rod section and moving in a slidable manner within the cylinder. The rod section has: an in-rod space formed within the rod section and communicating with the piston-side chamber of the cylinder; a first communication passage for connecting the in-rod space and the rod-side chamber of the cylinder; and an orifice plug provided in a replaceable manner in the first communication passage. The piston is connected to the rod section so as to cover a part of the orifice plug.
F16F 9/32 - Springs, vibration-dampers, shock-absorbers, or similarly-constructed movement-dampers using a fluid or the equivalent as damping medium - Details
F16F 9/48 - Arrangements for providing different damping effects at different parts of the stroke
A shock absorber is provided with a shock absorber body (110), a suspension spring (120), a spring seat (1), and a spring rubber seat (2), a seat surface (20) of the spring rubber seat (2) being formed at an incline so as rise toward a terminal end within a fixed range from the terminal end where a helical part of the suspension spring (120) ends to the side on which the helical part abuts, and a concavity (21) peripherally enclosed at the portion abutting on the spring seat being formed in the lower side of the fixed range in the lower part of the spring rubber seat.

A power steering device for a vehicle includes an input shaft (1) linked to a steering wheel, an output shaft (2) linked to a vehicle wheel, a torsion bar (3) that connects the input shaft (1) to the output shaft (2), and a cylindrical member (13) supported by a housing (12) that is fastened to a vehicle body. The input shaft (1) includes a first input shaft (4) that is inserted into the cylindrical member (13), supported rotatably by the cylindrical member (13 ), and linked to the steering wheel, and a second input shaft (5) that connects the first input shaft (4) to the torsion bar (3). A connection portion between the first input shaft (4) and the second input shaft (5) is constituted such that a rotation of the first input shaft (4) is transmitted to the second input shaft (5) and the first input shaft (4) is free to move in an axial direction relative to the second input shaft (5).
B62D 5/02 - Power-assisted or power-driven steering mechanical, e.g. using a power-take-off mechanism for taking power from a rotating shaft of the vehicle and applying it to the steering gear
A bellows (2) of a dust boot (1, 30) having large diameter parts (3) and small diameter parts (4) disposed alternately covers a piston rod (R) projecting from a cylinder (C). A bump stopper (B) fixed to the cylinder (C) projects into the bellows (2) as a projecting portion. The bellows (2) comprises a first section (M) which passes a projecting end of the projecting portion according to the elongation and contraction of the piston rod (R) and a second section (L) located therebelow. By making the small diameter parts in the second section (L) have a smaller inner diameter than the small diameter part located at a boundary between the first section (M) and the second section (L), the bellows (2) can be made slim without interfering with the bump stopper (B).
