  • Patent number: 9796255
    Abstract: A first ring section and a second ring section made of resin are integrally formed in both ends in the direction of a center axis of a rod section. A plurality of first ribs, intermediate ribs, and second ribs are provided in an outer circumferential surface of the second ring section so as to project in the direction intersecting at right angles to a center axis of the second ring section. The first ribs and the intermediate ribs, and the second ribs each are integrally connected on either side in the left and right direction to vertical ribs that are formed long in the direction of the center axis. Projecting heights of the vertical ribs and the second ribs are varied along inclined straight lines.

  • Patent number: 9533559
    Abstract: To heighten the rigidity of a torque rod at the time of compression. A rod section 12, a second ring section 16 and a main body portion 18 are integrally formed of resin. The rod section 12 is provided with a pair of intermediate ribs 44 which extends in parallel in the direction of a center axis CO. A center groove 45 is formed between the intermediate ribs 44. Front end portions 44a of the intermediate ribs 44 located on a first ring section 14 side spread apart in the direction away from each other. A connecting rib 46 provided in a front end portion 45a of the center groove 45 provides a connection between the front end portions 44a. With this construction, even if a compression load is imposed on the front end portions 44a in the direction to forcibly spread these end portions apart, this is suppressed by the connecting rib 46. The connecting rib 46 is arranged in the vicinity of the first ring section 14 whereby effective reinforcement can be achieved.
