Abstract:
An intermediate cylinder is disposed between an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. The intermediate cylinder forms a passage between the inner cylinder and itself, through which a hydraulic fluid as an electrorheological fluid flows. The intermediate cylinder is supplied (applied) with a voltage through an electrode connector. The intermediate cylinder includes a ring member. The ring member is provided with an extending portion which extends toward the outer cylinder. The extending portion of the ring member is inserted with an electrode pin as an imparting unit for imparting a voltage to the intermediate cylinder.

Claim (Index 1):
A cylinder device comprising:\n an inner cylinder sealingly containing a functional fluid which changes in fluid condition under the presence of an electric field, the inner cylinder being inserted with a rod; an outer cylinder disposed on the outside of the inner cylinder; an intermediate cylinder disposed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder to create a passage between the inner cylinder and the intermediate cylinder, through which the functional fluid flows from one end side to the other end side in an axial direction in response to an advancing returning movement of the rod, the intermediate cylinder serving as an electrode; a reservoir chamber formed between the intermediate cylinder and the outer cylinder and sealingly containing the functional fluid and a working gas; a rod guide disposed so as to close one end of the inner cylinder and one end of the outer cylinder and supporting the rod; and an imparting unit configured to impart a voltage from a voltage supply unit to the intermediate cylinder, wherein the intermediate cylinder is provided in an outer peripheral side with an electrically-conductive extending portion which extends toward the outer cylinder, and the imparting unit is inserted in the extending portion in an electrically contacted manner.
