  • Patent number: 11473646
    Abstract: The bushing includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and an elastic body therebetween. The outer cylinder has a central recess portion formed in a curved shape. The inner cylinder has a central convex portion being formed in a curved shape. A distance between a vertex of the central recess portion and the vertex of the central convex portion is smaller than a distance between a point other than the vertex of the central recess portion and a point at which a straight line extending from the point other than the vertex of the central recess portion to an intersection point of the perpendicular line and the axis of the inner cylinder intersects the central convex portion.

  • Patent number: 11433725
    Abstract: The bushing includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and an elastic body therebetween. The outer cylinder has a central recess portion recessed from the inner peripheral surface in the radial direction at the central portion in the axial direction, and the thickness of both end portions is thicker than the thickness of the central portion. The central recess portion is formed in a curved shape or having a curved and a straight shape. The inner cylinder has a central convex portion swelling from the outer peripheral surface in the radial direction at a position corresponding to the central recess portion. The maximum outer diameter of the central convex portion is larger than the minimum inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder.

  • Patent number: 10882386
    Abstract: A transmission-side mount bracket includes connection portions which connect a front-side leg portion and a rear-side leg portion of a leg member, a middle attachment (fixation) portion which is provided at the connection portions at a position located between the front-side leg portion and the rear-side leg portion and fixed to the powertrain, and a rigidity-reduction portion (an opening portion) which has the rigidity against a load applied in the vehicle width direction which is lower than that of the front-side leg portion and the rear-side leg portion and is provided at a position located in the vicinity of the middle attachment (fixation) portion.
