11254177 · 2022-02-22 · ·

A hollow coil spring is made of a hollow wire in which a terminal sealed portion is formed on an end portion of the wire. The terminal sealed portion has a rotationally symmetric shape in which an axis passing through the center of the wire is the symmetric axis. The hollow coil spring includes an end wall portion, and an end face arc-shaped curved surface. The end wall portion includes an end face perpendicular to the axis. A distal-end-center closure portion is formed on the axis at the center of the end wall portion. A spring seat includes a base member and a sheet member. An end turn portion of the hollow coil spring is in contact with the sheet member. The end face of the end turn portion is opposed to a stopper wall of the spring seat.

Fitting, ferrule, and ferrule manufacturing method

A fitting to be connected to a pipe includes: a first member; a second member coupled by screw coupling with the first member; and a ferrule placed in an accommodation space formed by an inner circumferential surface of the first member, an inner circumferential surface of the second member, and an outer circumferential surface of the pipe. The ferrule has a rising portion including a first end portion, a pressed portion located closer to a second end portion than the rising portion, and an intermediate portion including a portion where an inner diameter is greater than the first end portion and the second end portion, the intermediate portion connecting together the rising portion and the pressed portion. The first member has a first tapered inner circumferential surface, which is an inner circumferential surface having a tapered shape, to be in contact with the first end portion of the ferrule. The second member has a pressing portion for pressing at least a portion of the pressed portion of the ferrule. The accommodation space has a first clearance space for accommodating the ferrule therein and allowing the rising portion to rise so as to increase an angle of the rising portion with respect to the outer circumferential surface of the pipe.
