Abstract: A vibration isolating apparatus in which a vibrating body, which is disposed within a pressure-receiving liquid chamber and is connected to a mounting member such that a gap is formed between an inner wall surface of the pressure-receiving liquid chamber and the vibrating body, is disposed. An elongated limiting passage is formed in the vibrating body so as to penetrate therethrough.

Therefore, the low-frequency vibration is reliably absorbed. When there is high-frequency vibration, there is liquid-column resonance of the liquid in a vicinity of the gap.
