Abstract

A vibration absorber for absorbing a vibration between first and second members each of which is connected to the vibration absorber, includes a movable member adapted to contact with a fluid, and including a portion connected mechanically to one of the first and second members so that a movement of the fluid and a movement of the portion of the movable member correspond to each other, and a fluid moving member for flowing the fluid in either of an extension direction in which the portion of the movable member moves to increase a distance between the first and second members and a contraction direction in which the portion of the movable member moves to decrease the distance between the first and second members in such a manner that the vibration is restrained by a change of the distance between the first and second members from being transmitted between the first and second member.
