Abstract

One aspect of the present invention is configured in such a manner that a main valve (a valve member) is in abutment with only a ridge portion (a second protrusion portion) on the inner peripheral side of a seat portion (a first seat portion) in a state of being mounted on a piston. This configuration can reduce the radial contact width between the main valve and the seat portion, and contribute to preventing or reducing variations in the valve-opening point and the damping force by managing the radial dimension of the ridge portion on the inner peripheral side of the seat portion to allow the contact diameter between the main valve and the seat portion to be kept constant.
