Patent ID: 8157064

Claim:
A shock absorber for a drawer comprising: a body filled with fluid; a piston member inserted into the body while being coupled with a rod; and a buffering member installed in the body to prevent the body from being broken by receiving pressure change of fluid when the piston member moves forward and backward, wherein the body comprises: a front end at which an opening is formed; a closed rear end; and a space section filled with the fluid, wherein the space section of the body comprises: an expanded section in which the buffering member is installed adjacently to the opening; a damping section positioned consecutively to the expanded section to primarily absorb impact force of the rod inserted into the body by impact; a deceleration section for secondarily absorbing the impact force; and a no-load section in which no impact exists, wherein the damping section has a tapered portion in such a manner that the inner diameter of the damping section is reduced from the opening to an inner side of the body, and a plurality of first guide protrusions are formed on the tapered portion, wherein the piston member comprises: a piston support coupled with a rear end of the rod; and a piston, wherein the rod is a metal rod having a predetermined length, and has a front end bent in a form of substantially reverse-L shape and a rear end formed with an insertion protrusion, wherein the piston support comprises: a body having a through hole at an inner side thereof; an annular protrusion formed on an outer peripheral surface of the body and having a plurality of slits; and a fixing member integrally formed with a rear end of the body, and having a cutting hole, which communicates with the slits, and a stepped portion at an outer peripheral surface of a rear end thereof, wherein the piston has a cylindrical shape with a closed one end, and a coupling hole, which is fitted around the fixing member of the piston support, in the closed surface.
