  • Publication number: 20250237280
    Abstract: A tubular vibration-damping device for a motor mount including: an inner shaft member; an outer tube member; and a plurality of rubber legs extending between surfaces of the inner shaft member and the outer tube member facing in a radial direction and connecting them, wherein the plurality of rubber legs include four rubber legs which mutually separate wider apart in a circumferential direction as they go to a periphery in an up-down direction and a left-right direction, for the four rubber legs, a difference in cross-sectional areas each in a leg transverse cross section orthogonal to a length direction, which is a connection direction of the inner shaft member and the outer tube member, is 20% or less, and the four rubber legs have mutually different shapes and resonant states against a vibration input in the up-down direction.

  • 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.
