  • Patent number: 9394958
    Abstract: A vibration damping device including a first mounting member and a second mounting member elastically connected by a main rubber elastic body, and a separate stopper member positioned in a housing recess that is formed by a cylindrical portion of the second mounting member and that opens in an axial direction. An elastic tapered portion equipped with a contact surface that inclines gradually to an inner circumferential side toward an open side of the housing recess is provided at an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion which constitutes a peripheral wall of the housing recess, and a stopper protrusion projecting outward in an axis-perpendicular direction is provided to the stopper member. The stopper protrusion is positioned further inside the housing recess than the elastic tapered portion and the stopper protrusion overlaps the elastic tapered portion when viewed in axial direction projection.
