Abstract: A shock absorber is provided. The shock absorber of the present invention includes a shock absorber main body, a damping passage, a primary damping force generation component, and a secondary damping force generation component. The shock absorber main body has an outer tube and a rod and is stretchable. The damping passage communicates operating chambers with each other provided in the shock absorber main body. The primary and secondary damping force generation components are provided in series with the damping passage. The secondary damping force generation component includes a secondary valve, an annular facing portion, and a valve stopper. The annular facing portion faces the secondary valve with an annular gap between the annular facing portion and the secondary valve. The valve stopper has elasticity to allow bending, and when the secondary valve bends and comes in contact with the valve stopper, restricts the secondary valve from bending.

Abstract: A valve includes: a valve case; and an annular valve body, one of the inner circumference end and the outer circumference end of the valve body being formed as the free end capable of moving towards both sides in the axial direction with respect to the valve case. The valve case has the annular opposing surface capable of opposing to the free end so as to form the gap therebetween, and the guide surface that is positioned on one side of the opposing surface in the axial direction, the guide surface being continuous with the part of the opposing surface in the circumferential direction. The guide surface is inclined in the direction away from the valve body as the distance from the opposing surface is increased.

Abstract: There is provided a valve and a shock absorber that are inexpensive and excellent in assemblability. A valve of the present embodiment includes: an annular valve body; a spacer that is stacked on the annular valve body and serves as a fulcrum of the bending of a free end of the annular valve body; and a valve stopper that faces the annular valve body in an axial direction on the spacer side of the annular valve body and regulates the bending of the annular valve body when the annular valve body bends and comes into contact therewith, wherein the valve stopper includes: a ring that has a thickness in the axial direction smaller than the thickness of the spacer, and is arranged on an inner circumference or an outer circumference of the spacer; and a stacked annular plate that is stacked on the spacer.
