前記外筒基端部および前記外筒先端部を含み、前記スペーサホルダを支持するともに、前記内筒を内部に受け入れることが可能な円筒状の外筒本体と、
前記垂下姿勢における前記スペーサから見て前記スペーサホルダよりも遠い位置において前記外筒本体の外周面に配設された外筒固定部であって、前記軸方向と直交する方向に沿って第1ピン孔が形成されている外筒固定部と、
を有し、
前記スペーサは、
前記内筒の外周面に嵌合することが可能な内周面を含む半円筒状のスペーサ本体と、
前記スペーサ本体から前記軸方向に沿って延びるとともに前記スペーサホルダに前記揺動中心軸回りに揺動可能に接続されるスペーサ被支持部であって、当該スペーサ被支持部のうち前記揺動中心軸よりも前記スペーサ本体に近い部分には前記軸方向と直交する方向に沿って第2ピン孔が形成されているスペーサ被支持部と、
を有し、
前記ロック機構は、前記スペーサが前記対向姿勢とされた状態で前記第1ピン孔および前記第2ピン孔に順に挿入されることで前記スペーサの前記スペーサ被支持部と前記外筒の前記外筒固定部とを互いに接続し前記スペーサをロックするロックピンを含む、バックストップ。 - 請求項4に記載のバックストップであって、
前記スペーサホルダは、
前記外筒に対して周方向に相対回転可能なように前記外筒の外周面に外嵌されるホルダ円筒部と、
当該ホルダ円筒部の外周面に配設され前記スペーサの前記スペーサ被支持部を前記揺動中心軸回りに揺動可能に支持するホルダ支持部と、
前記ホルダ円筒部の外周面のうち周方向において前記ホルダ支持部とは異なる位置において前記ホルダ円筒部から前記外筒基端部に向かって突出するように配置されるホルダ固定部であって、当該ホルダ固定部には前記軸方向と直交する方向に沿って第3ピン孔が形成されているホルダ固定部と、
を有し、
前記スペーサが前記垂下姿勢とされた状態で、前記ロックピンが前記第1ピン孔および前記第3ピン孔にそれぞれ挿入され当該ロックピンが前記スペーサホルダの前記ホルダ固定部と前記外筒の前記外筒固定部とを互いに接続することによって、前記ロックピンが前記スペーサを前記外筒の周方向において拘束するように前記外筒固定部の位置が設定されている、バックストップ。 - 請求項3乃至5の何れか1項に記載のバックストップであって、
前記スペーサが前記ストラットと前記バックストップとの間の空間から脱離することで前記外筒が前記ストラットに重なるように配置されることを可能とするように、前記スペーサホルダの前記外筒に対する前記周方向における回転角度が設定されている、バックストップ。
