First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An attachment structure for an urging member comprising: an attachment member having an insertion hole; and a ring-shaped bushing press-fitted in the insertion hole, wherein: the urging member includes an attached portion inserted in an inner side of the bushing, the bushing has a first portion arranged in the insertion hole and a second portion located outside the insertion hole, an inner diameter of the first portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the second portion, the insertion hole has an opening, the inner diameter of the second portion increases as a distance from the opening of the insertion hole increases in a thickness direction of the attachment member, and a rate of change of the inner diameter of the second portion with respect to a change of position of the second portion in the thickness direction of the attachment member decreases as the distance from the opening of the insertion hole increases in the thickness direction of the attachment member. 2. The attachment structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion includes a support section for supporting the attached portion. 3. An attachment structure for an urging member, comprising: an attachment member having an insertion hole; and a ring-shaped bushing press-fitted in the insertion hole, wherein: the urging member includes an attached portion that is bent and inserted into an inner side of the bushing, the bushing has a first portion that is arranged in the insertion hole and includes a support section for supporting the attached portion, and a second portion that is located outside the insertion hole, and the first portion has a circular inner circumferential surface, and an inner diameter of the first portion is larger than an outer diameter of the attached portion and smaller than an inner diameter of the second portion.
