Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a master cylinder in which the buckling of spring is prevented and the packing is not damaged. To achieve this object, in a master cylinder in which a return spring is disposed between the end wall of a cylinder and a piston, and a packing fitted to the piston slides on the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder, the return spring 30 comprises a cylindrical large-diameter coil portion A with a diameter almost in contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder 12 and a small-diameter coil portion B with a diameter enough smaller than the diameter of the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder 12, and the installation length of the small-diameter coil portion B is set so as to be nearly equal to a length of the range in which the packing 24 slides.
