Abstract:
A shock absorber (10) has a case (11) in which a piston rod (25) is disposed, the piston rod (25) being reciprocable in an axial direction of the case (11), and a rotation cylinder (14) is rotatably provided inside the case (11) and is movable in the axial direction of the case (11). A cylinder hole (35) is partitioned by a piston (32) provided on the piston rod (25) into a front-side chamber (35a) and a rear-side chamber (35b). A spring force of a compression coil spring (37) urges the piston rod (25) in a direction to protrude from the case (11). An orifice (42), whose communication opening degree with a fluid passage (34) varies according to a rotated position of a rotation operation portion (15), is formed on the rotation operation portion (15), and positioning recesses are formed on the case (11) and are spaced apart from each other at intervals in a circumferential direction of the case (11).
