OUTER CYLINDER FOR HYDRAULIC SHOCK ABSORBER AND METHOD OF MOLDING THE OUTER CYLINDER FOR THE HYDRAULIC SHOCK ABSORBER

摘要

Providing an outer cylinder for a hydraulic shock absorber, having excellent productivity and a method of molding the outer cylinder for the hydraulic shock absorber. The outer cylinder for the hydraulic shock absorber includes an intermediate body and an outer case body. The intermediate body is formed by weaving (textile-processing) a continuous reinforcement fiber into a cylindrical shape. The outer case body is molded from a polyamide resin that is a thermoplastic resin that forms irregularities on an outside of the intermediate body while being impregnated into the intermediate body. The textile-processing is a process of braiding, weaving or knitting fibers to produce a flat or tubular fabric, cord or the like.
