Abstract

A resilient stopper component ( 20 ) is provided with a bottom surface portion ( 48 ) that is mounted, via an inner bracket ( 22 ), at one of a vibration-generating portion or a vibration-receiving portion, and that has a communicating hole ( 48 A) provided in a first mounting component ( 11 ) that is provided with a cylindrical component ( 24 ) inside which the inner bracket ( 22 ) is inserted, with the cylindrical component ( 24 ) being inserted through the communicating hole ( 48 A), is also provided with an enclosing portion ( 50 ) that is formed extending upright from the bottom surface portion ( 48 ) so as to be able to enclose the cylindrical component ( 24 ), in which an aperture portion ( 58 ) that forms an aperture for inserting the inner bracket ( 22 ) into the cylindrical component ( 24 ) is formed so as to be in communication with the communicating hole ( 48 A), and limits a displacement amount of the first mounting component ( 11 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A resilient stopper component, comprising:
a bottom surface portion that has a communicating hole inside which a receptacle component of a first mounting component is inserted through, the first mounting component is mounted, via an inner bracket, at one of a vibration-generating portion or a vibration-receiving portion, and the inner bracket is inserted inside the receptacle component; and
an enclosing portion that is formed extending upright from the bottom surface portion so as to be able to enclose the receptacle component, and in which an aperture portion that forms an aperture for inserting the inner bracket into the receptacle component is formed so as to be in communication with the communicating hole,
wherein the resilient stopper component limits a displacement amount of the first mounting component;
wherein the resilient stopper component is formed using a resilient body;
wherein the enclosing portion of the resilient stopper component is assembled in tight contact with the receptacle component;
wherein the receptacle component has a polygonal cross-section;
wherein deformation assisting portions are formed at a circumferential edge of the communicating hole, and are notches that open onto the communicating hole; and
wherein the notches are arranged in parallel with a direction in which the inner bracket is inserted into the aperture portion, and are located on a straight line that passes through the center of the communicating hole.

2. The resilient stopper component according to claim 1 , wherein a projecting portion that protrudes in an opposite direction from the insertion direction of the inner bracket, is provided integrally with an end portion on an aperture portion side of the bottom surface portion.

3. The resilient stopper component according to claim 2 , wherein a groove that extends in a transverse direction of the aperture portion, is formed in a bottom surface of the projecting portion.

4. An anti-vibration apparatus, comprising:
the resilient stopper component according to claim 1 , in which the first mounting component is mounted, via the inner bracket, at one of the vibration-generating portion or the vibration-receiving portion, and is provided with the receptacle component inside which the inner bracket is inserted;
a second mounting component that is mounted, via an outer bracket, at the other one of the vibration-generating portion or the vibration-receiving portion; and
a rubber resilient body that elastically joins together the first mounting component and the second mounting component;
wherein the resilient stopper component is interposed between the receptacle component and the outer bracket, and limits an amount of displacement of the first mounting component relative to the outer bracket.

5. The anti-vibration apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein, when viewed from an axial direction of the communicating hole, the receptacle component is larger than the communicating hole.

6. A resilient stopper component, comprising:
a bottom surface portion that has a communicating hole inside which a receptacle component of a first mounting component is inserted through, the first mounting component is mounted, via an inner bracket, at one of a vibration-generating portion or a vibration-receiving portion, and the inner bracket is inserted inside the receptacle component; and
an enclosing portion that is formed extending upright from the bottom surface portion so as to be able to enclose the receptacle component, and in which an aperture portion that forms an aperture for inserting the inner bracket into the receptacle component is formed so as to be in communication with the communicating hole,
wherein the resilient stopper component limits a displacement amount of the first mounting component;
wherein the resilient stopper component is formed using a resilient body;
wherein the enclosing portion of the resilient stopper component is assembled in tight contact with the receptacle component;
wherein the receptacle component has a quadrilateral cross-section;
wherein deformation assisting portions are formed at a circumferential edge of the communicating hole, and are notches that open onto the communicating hole; and
wherein the notches are arranged in parallel with a direction in which the inner bracket is inserted into the aperture portion, and are located on a straight line that passes through the center of the communicating hole.

7. The resilient stopper component according to claim 6 , wherein a projecting portion that protrudes in an opposite direction from the insertion direction of the inner bracket, is provided integrally with an end portion on an aperture portion side of the bottom surface portion.

8. The resilient stopper component according to claim 7 , wherein a groove that extends in a transverse direction of the aperture portion, is formed in a bottom surface of the projecting portion.
