Description
SHOCK ABSORBER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shock absorber, and more particularly to a shock absorber which is anti-detachment.
Description of the Prior Art A conventional shock absorber for a vehicle as disclosed in TWM392765 includes a base, a fixed axial tube and a movable axial tube. The fixed axial tube is screwed with the base, the movable axial tube is disposed in the fixed axial tube and recipro eatable along an axial direction, and through the fixed axial tube and the base rotate relative to each other, a length of the shock absorber can be adjusted in accordance with different types of vehicles. To prevent the fixed axial tube from rotating too much and being detached from the base, a lower position-restricting ring of the conventional shock absorber which is screwed with the fixed axial tube has a through hole, a ball member, an elastic member and a fixing pin member are disposed in the through hole, and a lower end of the fixed axial tube has an annular groove. Therefore, when the fixed axial tube is rotated to make the ball member restrictably engaged within the annular groove, a user can be reminded that if s/he continues to rotate the fixed axial tube, the fixed axial tube will be detached from the base.
However, in the conventional shock absorber, the lower position-restricting ring is screwed with the fixed axial tube, so the user needs to grip on the fixed axial tube with one hand and grips on the lower position-restricting ring with the other hand so as to position the lower position-restricting ring on an end of the base to prevent the lower position-restricting ring and the fixed axial tube from moving relative to each other. Hence, the conventional shock absorber is inconvenient to be operated. In addition, the lower position-restricting ring is screwed with the fixed axial tube but not integrally connected to the base, so a distance between the lower position-restricting ring and the base may vary. The ball member being restrictably engaged in the annular groove does not mean that the fixed axial tube is about to be detached from the base, so a reminding function may have an error.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One aspect of the present invention is to provide a shock absorber, the shock absorber includes an abutting assembly which can effectively remind a user that a first axial tube is about to be detached_ from a base. In addition, the abutting assembly is easy to be assembled or disassembled and has a simple structure.
To achieve the above, a shock absorber is provided, including a base, a first axial tube, a second axial tube, a buffering structure and an abutting assembly. The base defines an axial direction, and the base has a through. hole radially. An exterior circumferential wall of the first axial tube has a recess formed radially and near a .. first end of the base, and the first axial tube is screwed with the base.
The second axial tube is disposed through the first axial tube along the axial direction and slidable relative to the first axial tube, and the second axial tube has an assembling portion. The buffering structure includes an elastic member and an adjusting ring,

6. The shock absorber of claim 2, wherein the abutting member is a ball member, and a radial dimension of the abutting member is greater than a greatest depth of the recess.
7. The shock absorber of claim 6, wherein the exterior circumferential wall of the first axial tube has a scale which extends along the axial direction, and a distance between an initial scale of the scale and the first end of the first axial tube is 20 min to 40 mm.
8. The shock absorber of claim 7, wherein a position of the recess is between the initial scale of the scale and the first end of the first axial tube.
9. The shock absorber of claim 8, further including a position-restricting ring, the position-restricting ring being sleeved on the first axial tube and screwed with the first axial tube, the position-restricting ring abutting against an end face of the base along the axial direction; further including a positioning ring, the positioning ring and the adjusting ring screwed with the first axial tube, the positioning ring located on a side of the adjusting ring opposite to the elastic member and abutting against the adjusting ring;
the elastic abutting member being an elastic metal annular piece which is C-shaped, two opposite ends of an inner side of the elastic abutting member respectively having a protrusion, one of the two protrusions restrictably abutting against a periphery of the through hole and abutting against the abutting member, and the other of the two protrusions abutting against a recessed hole of the exterior circumferential wall of the base; the abutting member being a ball member, one of two ends of the recess which are opposed with respect to a rotation direction about an axis of the first axial tube having a first inclined face, the other of the two ends having a second inclined face; the first inclined face and the second inclined face having different gradients.
