<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a strong vibration damping force even when a force, such as compression, tension, bending, and shearing, is exerted to a fellows pipe in any direction. SOLUTION: First and second pipes 1 and 2 are connected through a bellows pipe 3. An external arcuate leaf spring 6 is arranged on the outside of the bellows pipe 3 and the two ends thereof are locked to the two end parts of the bellows pipe 3. A blade 9 is arranged on the outside of the leaf spring 6 and the two ends 9a and 9b thereof are fixed at the two end parts 3a and 3b of the bellows pipe 3. The outer surface of the leaf spring 6 and the inner surface of the blade 9 are at least partially brought into slide contact with each other.</p> |
