    Abstract: A strut mount allows a sufficient pre-compression to be applied to a rubber member without impairing the retaining force for the rubber member, thereby achieving improved durability of the rubber member. A pre-compression member (4) has an outer diameter that is smaller in the distal end side than in the proximal end side, and is press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of an inner tube member (1).

  • Patent number: 8939440
    Abstract: A vibration absorption device includes a cylindrical bracket coupled with one of a vibration generating section and a vibration receiving section and having an inner surface formed in a linear shape in a cylinder axial direction, an external cylinder made of resin and including a small diameter section that is formed in a cylindrical shape, press-fit into a cylinder of the bracket, and has a small diameter surface formed to an outer surface configured to a press-fit leading end to the bracket, a large diameter section that has an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the bracket and the outer diameter of the small diameter section and a thickness which is configured to a portion nearer to a press-fit rear end side to the bracket than the small diameter section and is thicker than the small diameter section before the press-fit, and a large diameter surface formed to an outer surface, and an intermediate section that is configured between the small diameter section and the large diameter section and
