Abstract

A vibration proofing device (10) includes an insulator (50) interposed between a first attaching member (30) and a second attaching member (40), and is disposed in an internal space (95) of a second bracket (90). The first attaching member (30) is formed to have two side walls (33, 33) parallel to each other to face the inner face of the second bracket (90). The second attaching member (40) is a tubular member having an opening (41a) passing therethrough in an upper-lower direction. At least one of side edge portions of each side wall (33) is disposed outside the opening (41a) of the second attaching member (40). Each side wall (33) is provided on an outer face thereof with a stopper (51) made of an elastic material. With this configuration, it is possible to sufficiently absorb an impact shock resulting from the stopper (51) hitting the second bracket (90).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vibration proofing device, comprising a first attaching member to be attached to a first bracket; a second attaching member to be attached to a second bracket; and an insulator interposed between the first attaching member and the second attaching member, and the vibration proofing device being disposed in an internal space of the second bracket,
wherein the first attaching member is formed to have two side walls parallel to each other to face an inner face of the second bracket,
wherein the first attaching member has a top plate, a bottom plate, the two side walls, and an attaching hole surrounded by the top plate, the bottom plate and the two side walls, and the first bracket is attached into the attaching hole in an attaching direction from one end portion toward the other end portion of the first attaching member,
wherein the second attaching member is a tubular member having an opening extending in a direction intersecting with the attaching direction,
wherein at least one of side edge portions of each side wall is disposed outside the opening of the second attaching member,
wherein the top plate and the bottom plate are recessed along the attaching direction relative to the side edge portions, and
wherein each side wall is provided on an outer face thereof with a stopper made of an elastic material.

2. The vibration proofing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first attaching member is formed in such a shape that a part from a center of a width of the first attaching member in the attaching direction over to the other end portion is larger than the other part from the center over to the one end portion in the attaching direction of the first bracket.

3. The vibration proofing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the two side walls project in the attaching direction of the first bracket relative to the top plate and the bottom plate.

4. The vibration proofing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a part of the insulator is disposed in the opening.

5. The vibration proofing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first bracket is attached to a prime mover of a vehicle, and the second bracket is attached to a vehicle body of the vehicle.

6. The vibration proofing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second bracket is attached to a vehicle body of a vehicle, and the first bracket is attached to a device, to which or from which vibration is to be isolated.
