Abstract:
A pivot shaft (10) which is a first shaft member coupled to a supporting member, an inner cylinder (12) which is a second shaft member coupled to a supported member, and an outer cylinder (14) which is a third shaft member are disposed to be approximately coaxial with each other and disposed radially in multiple layers. The pivot shaft (10) and the inner cylinder (12) are coupled to each other through a first rubber-like elastic member (11), and the inner cylinder (12) and the outer cylinder (14) are coupled to each other through a second rubber-like elastic member (13). The total reaction force is increased by restricting the rotation of the outer cylinder (14) by means of an operating pin (19) which is a reaction force adjusting part and thereby adding a reaction force resulting from the second rubber-like elastic member (13) to a base reaction force resulting from the first rubber-like elastic member (11).
