Abstract
One end portion of a rod member is accommodated in a housing which is connected to one bracket BR, and the other one end portion is connected to the other bracket. Between the one end portion of the rod member and the housing, there is disposed a biasing mechanism which biases against forces that enlarge and shorten an axial distance between the brackets. Furthermore, a friction mechanism, which presses the housing in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the rod member, is accommodated in the housing. The friction mechanism comprises a pressing member which is supported on the rod member to be in contact with an inner surface of the housing, a spring member and an adjusting member, so that a pressing force of the pressing member to the housing by the spring member is adjusted by the adjusting member.
