Vibration damping device

A vibration damping device comprising:

• a vibration-damping device main unit comprising a first attachment member and a second attachment member that are vertically remote from each other and are elastically connected by a main rubber elastic body, the second attachment member comprising a pair of connecting parts comprising a first connecting part and a second connecting part on opposite sides;
• and
• a bracket comprising opposite leg parts, the opposite leg parts comprising a pair of connecting grooves comprising a first connecting groove and a second connecting groove on opposed inner faces of the opposite leg parts, the vibration-damping device main unit being attached to the bracket from a lateral side by the pair of the connecting parts being inserted into the pair of the connecting grooves, wherein
• the pair of the connecting parts of the second attachment member and the pair of the connecting grooves of the bracket are all made of metal,
• the first connecting part is structured such that the metal is exposed on an entire outer peripheral surface and an entire lower face and in metal-to-metal contact with a groove-inside bottom face and a groove-inside lower face of the first connecting groove, and an upper urging rubber is on an upper face of the first connecting part and in contact with a groove-inside upper face of the first connecting groove,
• the second connecting part is structured such that the metal is exposed on an entire lower face and in metal-to-metal contact with a groove-inside lower face of the second connecting groove, and an upper urging rubber is on an upper face of the second connecting part and in contact with a groove-inside upper face of the second connecting groove while an outer peripheral urging rubber is on an outer peripheral surface of the second connecting part and in contact with a groove-inside bottom face of the second connecting groove,
• the entire outer peripheral surface of the first connecting part of the second attachment member is pressed against the groove-inside bottom face of the first connecting groove in metal-to-metal contact by an urging force of the outer peripheral urging rubber of the second connecting part being exerted on the second attachment member toward a lateral side, and
• between the outer peripheral surface of the first connecting part and the first connecting groove and between an inside surface of the second connecting part and the second connecting groove, respective detent engagers prevent dislodgment of the first and second connecting parts which are held in an engaged state by the urging force of the outer peripheral urging rubber and inserted in the first and second connecting grooves.
