Title:
車両用サスペンション装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4455974
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
To offer a suspension apparatus for a vehicle with high utility, a suspension apparatus 10 having a damping-force generating device 12 which includes a body-side unit 34 attached so as to project upward from a mount portion 16 formed at a part of the vehicle is provided with a projecting-portion-displacement permitting mechanism for permitting a displacement of at least a projecting portion such that an amount of projection of the projecting portion decreases. The projecting-portion-displacement permitting mechanism is configured as follows, for instance. In a structure in which a downward movement of the body-side unit is prohibited by a pin 52 of a solenoid 50, the solenoid is energized and the pin is withdrawn, thereby releasing the prohibition of the movement of the body-side unit. In consequence, the body side-unit is permitted to move downward. The mechanism increases a distance between an upper end of the damping-force generating device and a hood 90 disposed above the mount portion, so that an impact applied to the hood from above can be effectively mitigated utilizing a space between the upper end of the damping-force generating device and the hood in which the distance therebetween is increased.
