    Abstract: A vibration-damping device includes an inner cylinder, a resin outer cylinder that is arranged on a radially outer side of the inner cylinder, and a rubber elastic body that couples the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder to each other. The outer cylinder includes: a press-insertion portion that is press-inserted into an insertion hole formed in an attachment member; and a tapered portion that is contiguous with the press-insertion portion and extends in a direction in which the press-insertion part is inserted into the attachment member. The tapered portion has a tapered shape having a decreasing diameter in the press-insertion direction. An outer surface of the tapered portion is formed to be parallel to a tapered guide surface provided on an insertion opening of the insertion hole of the attachment member.

  • Patent number: 9828029
    Abstract: A pair of side members extends in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle in a width direction and have a plurality of coupling portions coupling with a vehicle body member of a vehicle. A pair of cross members extends in the width direction to face each other in the longitudinal direction and couple the pair of side members. A pair of coupling members is provided in the side members to couple a corresponding one of the plurality of coupling portions with the vehicle body member. A pair of support members is provided in the cross members to support correspondingly a pair of suspension arms provided in the vehicle and facing each other in the width direction. The lower parts of the support members are welded to upper walls of the coupling members and vertical walls of one of the cross members straddling the upper walls and the vertical walls.

  • Patent number: 9139229
    Abstract: A structure for a rear part of a vehicle body includes a rear sub-frame supported by rear side frames. The rear sub-frame includes left and right longitudinal members, and a front lateral member mounted across the left and right longitudinal members. The left and right longitudinal members each have front and rear fastening sections fastened to each of a pair of left and right rear side frames, and left and right bent sections each bent inward in the vehicle width direction between the front and rear fastening sections. The front lateral member is positioned relative to the left and right longitudinal members at the intermediate portions of the left and right bent sections. The intermediate portions of the left and right bent sections are joined to the pair of rear side frames while the left and right longitudinal members are held by the lateral member.
