  • Patent number: 6854723
    Abstract: An outer sleeveless type resilient bush wherein a resilient body fixed to the outer circumference of an inner sleeve is brought into contact with the inside face of a support hole of an article to be supported, an inserted sleeve being embedded in the resilient body, axial notches and split grooves are respectively formed on the inserted sleeve and the resilient body. flanges that bend in the diametrically outwards direction are formed at both ends of the inserted sleeve, and arranged to extend outwards in the diametrically outwards direction and the flange at one end is made capable of reduction in diameter, so that the resilient bush can be inserted into the support hole from the side of this flange, and resistance to withdrawal from the support hole can be increased and performance is improved by making the initial compression ratio of the resilient body large.

  • Publication number: 20030111780
    Abstract: In a resilient bush (2) of the outer sleeveless type and wherein a resilient body (21) fixed to the outer circumference of an inner sleeve (20) is directly brought into contact with the inside face of the support hole of an article to be supported, an inserted sleeve (22) being embedded in the resilient body (21), resistance to withdrawal from the support hole can be increased and performance is improved by making the initial compression ratio of the resilient body (21) large. Flanges (22a, 22b) that bend in the diametrically outwards direction are formed at both ends of the inserted sleeve (22), and it is arranged for these flanges (22a, 22b) at both ends to extend outwards in the diametrically outwards direction from the projection plane in the axial direction of the support hole, in a condition in which the resilient bush is fitted into the support hole.

  • Patent number: 6508343
    Abstract: A vibration damper little depending on temperature, capable of damping plural resonance vibrations over a wide frequency region as well as damping a specific frequency vibration is provided. The vibration damper comprises a housing formed of a rigid material, having an internal space and fixed to a vibration transmitting member, an elastic body inserted in the internal space not bonded thereto with a gap in a direction of vibration of the housing, and a weight integrally supported by the elastic body so as not to touch the housing. The elastic body and the weight form a dynamic damper.
