Abstract

A coating device for anti-vibration mounts coating a first fitting of each of a first and a second anti-vibration mounts respectively including the first fitting appearing on an outer surface of a first end portion in a longitudinal direction and a second fitting attached to a second end portion includes a coating spray that coats the first fitting and a mount support portion that supports the first and the second anti-vibration mounts on the second attachment fitting side. The first anti-vibration mount has an outer circumference protrusion portion that protrudes from the circumference of the second fitting. The second anti-vibration mount has a fitting protrusion portion that is the second fitting itself protruding. The mount support portion has a pair of supporting wall portions that support the outer circumference protrusion portion from both sides and a recess portion into which the fitting protrusion portion fits.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A coating device for anti-vibration mounts, the coating device coating a first fitting of each of the anti-vibration mounts respectively including the first fitting appearing on an outer surface of a first end portion of a rubber member in a longitudinal direction thereof and a second fitting attached to a second end portion,
the anti-vibration mounts as a target of coating including an anti-vibration mount of a first type having, in the second end portion, an outer circumference protrusion portion protruding in the longitudinal direction from a circumference of the second fitting and an anti-vibration mount of a second type having, in the second end portion, a fitting protrusion portion that is the second fitting itself protruding in the longitudinal direction, the coating device comprising: a coating unit that coats the first fitting; and a mount support portion that supports the anti-vibration mount on a side of the second end portion, wherein the mount support portion includes
a pair of supporting wall portions that sandwich and support the outer circumference protrusion portion from both sides in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and
a recess portion into which the fitting protrusion portion fits, the recess portion being recessed in the longitudinal direction.

2 . The coating device for anti-vibration mounts according to claim 1 , wherein
the outer circumference protrusion portion has a notch that is open on a side of the second end portion, and a guide pin that engages with the notch is provided between the pair of supporting wall portions.

3 . The coating device for anti-vibration mounts according to claim 1 , wherein
the outer circumference protrusion portion has an outer surface formed of a rubber member, and a gap between the outer circumference protrusion portion and the pair of supporting wall portions is larger than a gap between the fitting protrusion portion and the recess portion.

4 . The coating device for anti-vibration mounts according to claim 1 , wherein the fitting protrusion portion is formed to have a non-circular shape as viewed in the longitudinal direction.

5 . The coating device for anti-vibration mounts according to claim 1 , wherein
as viewed in the longitudinal direction, the fitting protrusion portion is formed to be elongated in a first direction, and includes a pair of arc portions facing each other in the first direction and a pair of flat portions facing each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a gap, in the second direction, between the fitting protrusion portion and the recess portion is smaller than a gap in the first direction.

6 . A method for coating anti-vibration mounts, the method comprising coating the second fitting of each of the anti-vibration mounts of the first type and the anti-vibration mount of the second type, by using the coating device for anti-vibration mounts according to claim 1 .
