Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a door closer that can easily adjust the spring force of a return spring. A piston 2 moves toward a first oil chamber 15 upon a door opening operation and moves toward a second oil chamber 16 upon a door closing operation. A return spring 50 is located on the same line as the piston 2. The return spring 50 is interposed between a spring retaining seat on a fixed side close to a main shaft 3 and a spring retaining seat on a moving side distant from the main shaft 3. The return spring 50 is compressed by the spring retaining seat on the moving side moving closer to the spring retaining seat on the fixed side upon the door opening operation and then stores the closing force. The door closer includes a spring force adjustment mechanism configured to change the position of a spring retaining member 40, which has the spring retaining seat on the fixed side, in the axial direction of the piston 2 with respect to the main body housing 1, and configured to adjust the spring force of the return spring 50 by changing the position of the spring retaining member 40 through an operation from the outside of the main body housing 1.
