Abstract

A roll-rod for a vehicle which is mounted so as to connect a sub-frame and a power train may include at least one rubber block mounted between a front body portion and a rear end plate, in which the rubber block disposed at a rearmost part may be formed with a “U”-shaped band portion having an opening to which the end plate is fitted and joined wherein the “U”-shaped band portion is open in a vertical direction to the axial direction of a rearmost rubber block of the at least one rubber block to form the opening.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A roll-rod for a vehicle which is mounted so as to connect a sub-frame and a power train, the roll-rod comprising:
at least one rubber block mounted between a front body portion and a rear end plate; and
a “U”-shaped band portion fixed to a rearmost rubber block of the at least one rubber block and disposed at the rearmost of the at least one rubber block so as not to allow the rearmost rubber block to move in an axial direction of the rearmost rubber block wherein the “U”-shaped band portion is open in a vertical direction to the axial direction of the rearmost rubber block to form an opening,
wherein the rear end plate is disposed between the rearmost rubber block and the “U”-shaped band portion and configured to be fitted inside the opening of the “U”-shaped band portion and joined by the “U”-shaped band portion.

2. The roll-rod for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the “U”-shaped band portion is manufactured so as to be integrally molded when manufacturing the rearmost rubber block.

3. The roll-rod for the vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the band portion comprises two or more bands that are spaced apart from each other and are joined by fitting the end plate into each of them.

4. The roll-rod for the vehicle of claim 3 , wherein the end plate is formed with a guide portion for fixing the bands.

5. The roll-rod for the vehicle of claim 3 , wherein a protruding portion protrudes from a surface of the end plate facing the rubber block disposed at the rearmost part, and the rubber block disposed at the rearmost part is formed with a slide groove through which the protruding portion enters when the end plate slides and is fitted to the band portion.

6. The roll-rod for the vehicle of claim 2 , wherein a protruding portion protrudes from a surface of the end plate facing the rearmost rubber block and the rearmost rubber block is formed with a slide groove through which the protruding portion enters when the end plate slides and is fitted into the opening of the “U”-shaped band portion.

7. The roll-rod for the vehicle of claim 4 , wherein a protruding portion protrudes from a surface of the end plate facing the rubber block disposed at the rearmost part, and the rubber block disposed at the rearmost part is formed with a slide groove through which the protruding portion enters when the end plate slides and is fitted to the band portion.

8. The roll-rod for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a protruding portion protrudes from a surface of the end plate facing the rearmost rubber block and the rearmost rubber block is formed with a slide groove through which the protruding portion enters when the end plate slides and is fitted into the opening of the “U”-shaped band portion.
