  • Publication number: 20190242454
    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: 8181945
    Abstract: A cylindrical vibration isolating device that prevents damage to a vibration isolating rubber and cracks in a welded portion of a sub-frame. The sub-frame mount comprises an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder connected by the vibration isolating rubber. Small and large diameter portions are provided on a lateral wall of a barrel portion of the outer cylinder. Between the small and large diameter portions is formed a step-like boundary portion. The height in the axial direction of the boundary portion changes in the circumferential direction and has a substantially mountain-like shape with a top projecting in the press fitting direction. A contact area of the large diameter portion contacting a mounting hole of the sub-frame is increased in accordance with an amount of the press fitting. Therefore, when the sub-frame mount is press-fitted into the mounting hole of the sub-frame, the press fitting load is gradually increased.
