The rubber member thereof is provided with multistep elasticity characteristics such that a first shearing portion of the rubber member is first deformed in shear, a second shearing portion thereof is next deformed in shear, and the other portion thereof is lastly deformed under compression. To achieve the above-mentioned elasticity characteristics, some appropriately sized slots, cavities, or gaps are provided within the rubber member at appropriate positions within the rubber member.</p> |
