- the piston contact member 130C holds the other side of the boot main body 81C that is held by the piston 77 and covers the opening 48 side of the cylinder 37B.
- the other side of the boot body 81C can be attached to the cylinder 37B by attaching the piston contact member 130C to the cylinder 37B with the attachment screw member 30B. Therefore, the boot body 81C can satisfactorily protect the opening 48 side of the cylinder 37B.
- the rigid piston contact member 130C maintains the shape of the other side of the boot body 81C, a rigid ring is not necessary.
- the cylinder in a vehicular master cylinder having a piston propelled by operation of an operator and a cylinder in which the piston is movably provided, the cylinder has a radial hole formed in the cylinder. And a movement restricting member that restricts movement of the piston relative to the cylinder is provided, and the movement restricting member fixes a detection member that detects an operation of the operation element to the cylinder.
- the movement restricting member restricts the movement of the piston through a piston abutting member disposed in the cylinder and abutting on the piston. This makes it easier to increase the area of the portion that comes into contact with the piston when the movement is restricted, compared to the case where the movement is restricted by directly abutting with the movement regulating member. Thereby, the damage of a piston can be suppressed and the reliability as a product improves.
- the piston abutting member is a circumferential member (annular or C-shaped) that extends in the circumferential direction of the cylinder.
- One end of the piston abutting member abuts on the piston, and the movement restricting member
- An inclined portion that extends toward the other end side of the piston contact member and inward in the cylinder radial direction is formed in the pressed portion.
- the piston abutting member holds one side of the flexible protective member that is held by the piston and covers the opening side of the cylinder. For this reason, the other side of the flexible protection member can be attached to the cylinder by attaching the piston contact member to the cylinder with the movement restricting member. Therefore, the opening side of the cylinder can be well protected by the flexible protection member.
- the manufacturing efficiency is improved.

Description
本願は、2014年4月28日に出願された日本国特願2014-093101号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
本発明に係る第1実施形態を図1~図5に基づいて説明する。第1実施形態は、図1~図3に示すように、リザーバ10が車両用マスタシリンダ11の一部を構成するリザーバ一体型の車両用マスタシリンダ11となっている。この車両用マスタシリンダ11は、外部に露出した状態で取り付けられる自動二輪車、三輪バギーおよび四輪バギー等の鞍乗型車両用のものである。ここでは、リザーバ10を含む車両用マスタシリンダ11が車両に取り付けられた状態をもって説明し、その際に、車両における前を「前」、車両における後を「後」、車両における左を「左」、車両における右を「右」として説明する。第1実施形態は、運転者の右手により操作される前輪制動用の車両用マスタシリンダ11となっている。本発明は、運転者の左手により操作される後輪制動用のマスタシリンダやクラッチ用マスタシリンダにも適用可能であり、その場合は以下の説明における左右が逆になる。
底面53cの内周縁部が、テーパ穴部52の拡径内周面52bの拡径内周面52aに対し反対側に繋がっている。底面53cは、シリンダ軸に直交する面と平行をなしている。
次に、第2実施形態を主に図6に基づいて第1実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1実施形態と共通する部位については、同一称呼、同一の符号で表す。
次に、第3実施形態を主に図7に基づいて第1,第2実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1,第2実施形態と共通する部位については、同一称呼、同一の符号で表す。
次に、第4実施形態を主に図8に基づいて第1~第3実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1~第3実施形態と共通する部位については、同一称呼、同一の符号で表す。
また、剛性のあるピストン当接部材130Cがブーツ本体81Cの他側の形状を保持するため、剛性リングが不要となる。
これにより、検出部材をシリンダに固定するための移動規制部材でピストンの移動を規制するため、部品点数増を抑制することができる。したがって、車両用マスタシリンダの製造効率を向上させることができる。また、部品コストおよび組立コストの増大を抑制することができる。さらに、移動規制部材の取り付けのための必要な径方向孔を用いるため、加工コストの増大も抑制することができる。
よって、可撓性保護部材でシリンダの開口部側を良好に保護することができる。
