    Abstract: A front fork includes a tubular cylinder; a free piston slidably inserted into the cylinder to partition the cylinder into a pressure chamber and a reservoir; a piston slidably inserted into the cylinder to partition the pressure chamber into an extension-side chamber and a contraction-side chamber; a piston rod having one end connected to the piston and the other end side extending oppositely to the free piston side and protruding outward of the cylinder; a passage configured to allow the pressure chamber and the reservoir to communicate with each other; and a check valve provided in the passage and configured to allow only a flow of the hydraulic fluid from the reservoir to the pressure chamber.

    Abstract: There is provided a front fork which has a small number of components with simple structure and is easy to assemble. In order to achieve the above object, in a front fork F according to the means for solving the problem of the present invention, first and second adjusters 5, 6 are mounted on a cap 4 so as to be axially movable, and a contact portion 52 of the first adjuster 5 in contact with a first adjustment rod 7 and a contact portion 62 of the second adjuster 6 in contact with a second adjustment rod 8 are displaced in an axial direction of a vehicle body tube 2 so as not to interfere with each other. Therefore, even when each of the first and second adjusters 5, 6 moves in the axial direction with respect to the cap 4, the corresponding first and second adjustment rods 7, 8 can be moved independently without being interfered with each other.

    Abstract: There is provided a front fork provided with a plurality of adjusters, while including a spring adjuster. In order to achieve the above object, in a front fork F according to the means for solving the problem of the present invention, a spring adjuster A is rotatably mounted on a position eccentric to a center O of a cap 4 as viewed in an axial direction and includes a screw portion 35 disposed in an outer periphery protruded into a fork main body 1, and a plate P in which the screw portion 35 of the spring adjuster A is screwed to change support positions of a suspension spring S is brought into contact with a case (tubular member) 14a at two points on both sides in a circumferential direction of the normal of the case 14a that passes a mounting center of the spring adjuster A. Accordingly, while being prevented from rotating, the plate P can be downsized and can be disposed so as not to interfere with first and second adjusters 5, 6.
