  • Patent number: 6290201
    Abstract: An anti-vibration holding element 1 for holding pipes 46 and 48 includes a securing part 3, which is connected to a pipe holding part 2. An anti-vibration member 5 is located on an outer circumferential surface of the securing part 3, and between the connected securing part and the pipe holding part 2. The securing part 3 is formed separately from the pipe holding part 2, which is formed with a base 12. An accommodating portion of the base 12, including the outer circumferential surface, receives the securing part 3. When the securing part 3 is located in the base 12 of the pipe holding part 2, the anti-vibration member 5 connects the securing part and the holding part by the fitting of the member on to the base. To facilitate attachment of the holding element 1 to a body 49, the securing part 3 is formed with spaced, opposed claws 27 which engage and attach to a grooved stud 50 welded to the body.
