<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a damper with improved ease of assembly work, in a damper in which a rotor is rotatably housed in a housing filled with viscous fluid. <P>SOLUTION: A flange 20 is formed in a protruding manner on the rotor 18 of the damper 10, and protrusions 22 are formed on an outer periphery of the flange 20. Through holes 24 are formed in the protrusions 22. Protrusions 40 are formed on the upper walls 30C of valves 30 engaged with support protrusions 26 of the rotor 18. In assembling a damper, when the valves 30 are pressed in the direction toward the support protrusions 26, that is, in the direction toward the axis of the rotor 18, the protrusions 40 are once elastically deformed downward and then return to the original shape. As a result, the protrusions 40 of the valves 30 are engaged with the through holes 24 formed in the protrusions 22 of the flange 20 of the rotor 18. A worker can insert the rotor 18 with the valves 30 assembled thereto, into the housing 12, without holding the valves 30. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
