This one has two upper and lower cam members rotatably arranged,
An operating rod is inserted into the inside or outside of this cam member so as to be able to move up and down, and each of the two cam members has a cam surface that faces each other, and a pin that projects toward the cam surface side is provided on the operating rod. When the operating rod is pushed downward, the pin hits the cam surface of the lower cam member and rotates the lower cam member and the upper cam member that interlocks with it. Then, when the operating rod's pressing force is stopped, the pin moves upward. The pin meshes with another cam surface of the cam member, and the spring load is set according to the height of the cam surface with which the pin meshes.

Therefore, in order to give strength to the pin, this drawback can be solved to some extent by increasing the outer diameter of the pin, but on the other hand, it is necessary to increase the distance between the upper and lower cam members, and the length of the hydraulic shock absorber itself in the longitudinal direction is increased. The drawback is that it becomes long and large.

This corresponds to the tapered surfaces P, Q, R, and S of. At this time, there is also a gap between the pulling seat (force and the upper cam member (1) '/ + 1
Since there is a gap corresponding to a difference of 2, the adjustment cam (c) consisting of the cam member (1) C1ll and the cylindrical body can freely rotate. Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, the pin (A) hits, for example, the position m of the tapered surface Q.

On the other hand, when the pressure in the pressure chamber (2) is released, the piston (to) is pushed downward via the spring seat (7) by the restoring force of the suspension spring (9), and the spring seat (7) is further pushed downward by the upper cam member ( The adjustment cam (C) is pushed downward while in contact with 1), and the stopper (C) engages with the cam surface C. In this state, the adjustment cam (C) no longer moves due to the engagement of the stopper (C) and the holding force of the positioning mechanism (C).
The initial spring load of the suspension spring (9) is set according to the height of the cam surface C.
