Abstract

A shock absorber comprising a first collapsible shock absorbing part and a second shock absorbing part adapted to be compressed in an axial direction thereof inclined outward in the width direction of a vehicle. The first shock absorbing part has a structure of a basin-like truncated conical shape having a bead integrally formed therewith. The direction of the transmission of an impact force F is corrected by utilizing this first shock absorbing part to an axial direction of the second shock absorbing part, and the second shock absorbing part is thereby compressed in the axial direction without inclining the second shock absorbing part.
