Abstract
A damper is disposed in a holding hole that passes through, in a passing-through direction, a supported member that is supported by a supporting member. The dumper includes a tubular body defining therein a through hole extending in the passing-through direction. The tubular body is elastically deformable between a first form and a second form. The tubular body in the first form has an outer shape that is smaller than the holding hole. The tubular body in the second form has an outer shape that is equal to or greater than the holding hole.
Claims13
A damper disposed in a holding hole that passes through, in a passing-through direction, a supported member that is supported by a supporting member, the dumper comprising
- a tubular body defining therein a through hole that extends in the passing-through direction, wherein
- the tubular body is elastically deformable between a first form and a second form, and
- the tubular body in the first form has an outer shape that is smaller than the holding hole, and
- the tubular body in the second form has an outer shape that is equal to or greater than the holding hole.
An electronic controller comprising:
- a supporting member;
- a damper having a tubular body that defines a through hole, the through hole passing through the tubular body between a first end and a second end of the tubular body, the tubular body being elastically deformable;
- a supported member defining a holding hole extending along the through hole of the tubular body, the damper being disposed in the holding hole such that the supported member is supported by the supporting member through the damper;
- and
- a holding member pressing the damper toward the supporting member to hold the damper in the supported member, wherein
- the damper includes an end corner surface,
- at least one of the supporting member or the holding member includes a tilted surface that is in contact with the end corner surface of the damper, so that the at least one of the supporting member or the holding member is fit to the damper, and
- the damper is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the holding hole with pressure to hold the supported member.
