Patent attributes
Paired distance pieces (51, 52) disposed between two sidewall portions (41,42) of a vehicle body-side bracket (4) and an outer tube (31) are separated from each other, and have press protrusions (51b,52b) protruding from inner side surfaces (51c, 52c) of the distance pieces (51, 52), respectively, the press protrusions (51b,52b) configured to be brought into pressure contact with the outer side of an inner tube (32). In addition, abutment portions (51g, 52g) configured to abut on the outer side of the outer tube (31) are formed in upper ends (51c, 52c) of the inner side surfaces (51c, 52c), respectively. Furthermore, a rotation prevention part (9) is provided between a first distance piece (51) and the outer tube (31), and a second distance piece (52) is provided in a manner rotatable relative to the outer tube (31). Thereby, a clamping effect is enhanced while reducing a force needed to operate an operation lever (7), and the vibration characteristic is enhanced.
