- the opening window 1a is not limited to a circular shape, and may be an arc shape along the circumferential direction.
- the shape of the opening window 1a is such that the area when the opening window 1a is viewed from the axial direction is a value obtained by multiplying the cross-sectional area of the passage 1b, that is, the circumferential width of the passage 1b by the thickness of the disk 1 (axial length). Is set to be larger than
- the inner peripheral side of the passage 1b has a divergent shape when viewed from the axial direction, and the fluid passing through the passage 1b from the inner peripheral side is smoothly guided into the passage 1b.
- the number of installed opening windows 1a and the number of installed passages 1b can be arbitrarily set without being limited to four.
- the opening window 1a and the passage 1b are formed by holes penetrating the disk 1 in the axial direction, one passage 1b is provided for one opening window 1a.
- the opening window 1a and the passage 1b provided in the disk 1 may be formed in a groove shape that does not penetrate the disk 1 in the axial direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, if the disc 1 has a shape in which the disc 1 and the sheet member 3 are integrated, a plurality of passages 1b may be communicated with the opening window 1a.
- the leaf valve 2 is set so that its inner diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the disk 1 from the viewpoint of easy assembly of the valve V.
- a notch 2a having the same shape as the notch 1c is provided at a position coincident with the notch 1c of the disc 1 when the leaf valve 2 is stacked on the disc 1. That is, the leaf valve 2 includes the same number of notches 2 a as the notches 1 c of the disk 1.

As a result, the inner peripheral side of the leaf valve 2 can be brought into close contact with the disk 1 and the inner peripheral side of the leaf valve 2 can be prevented from bending, so that fatigue on the inner peripheral side of the leaf valve 2 can be prevented. In this case, if the notch groove into which the protrusion 3a is inserted is provided on the inner periphery of the support ring 4b, the support ring 4b can be easily assembled.
- the passage 1b provided in the disk 1 is opened only at the inner peripheral side opening of the disk 1, and the upper and lower ends in FIG. 1 are closed by the leaf valve 2 and the seat member 3. . Therefore, the passage 1b functions as a throttle, that is, an orifice.

Mu As a result, a gap is generated between the disk 1 and the leaf valve 2, and the opening window 1a is opened.
- valve V the leaf valve 2 is bent and opened by the flow of fluid from the inner peripheral side of the disk 1, and the fluid moves to the outer peripheral side of the disk 1 through the passage 1b and the opening window 1a.

- the resistance in the passage 1b functioning as an orifice is small and the pressure loss due to the passage 1b is small.
- the gap formed between the leaf valve 2 and the disc 1 is small, the resistance given to the flow of fluid passing through the gap is increased. Therefore, the resistance given to the fluid flow through the gap between the leaf valve 2 and the disk 1 is larger than the resistance given to the fluid flow through the passage 1b, and the pressure loss is also increased. In this case, the pressure loss due to the gap between the leaf valve 2 and the disk 1 is proportional to the flow rate.

- the damping force is sufficiently obtained even when the piston speed is very low (very low speed). It can be demonstrated. Therefore, the vibration of the vehicle body can be sufficiently attenuated to prevent the passenger from feeling uncomfortable, and the riding comfort in the vehicle can be improved.
- valve opening pressure of the leaf valve 2 can be changed by changing the size of the opening window 1a, and the characteristics of the damping force of the shock absorber when the piston speed is in the very low speed range can be adjusted.
- the flow area of the orifice can be changed by changing the cross-sectional area of the passage 1b, and the damping characteristic of the shock absorber when the piston speed is in the low speed range beyond the very low speed range can be adjusted. .

- the bending rigidity of the leaf valve 2 it is possible to adjust the slope of the damping force characteristic (the slope of the line a in FIG. 5) of the shock absorber when the piston speed is in the very low speed range.

It can be arbitrarily set according to the cross-sectional area of the passage 1b and the bending rigidity of the leaf valve 2.
