US 5,295,671 A · Vibration insulating mount

Abstract

A vibration insulating mount is provided having a flanged body. A rubber body covers flanges provided at both ends of the flanged body, thereby defining a lower support and an upper support. A stopping section of an upper case is provided which has a clearance hole. The hole is the same plan shape as the upper support and is slightly larger than the supper support. The mount is constructed so that when the upper case is fixed to the rubber body, postures of the clearance hole and the upper support are conformed. The mount is further constructed so that the upper support may passed through the clearance hole and the upper case 37 can be rotated and fixed to the rubber body 31. Thus, the upper case is prevented from interfering with the upper support, so that the stopping section is disposed between the supports and opposed thereto so as to touch any one of the supports, upon elastic deformation of the rubber body. A method of assembling an insulating mount is also provided.

Dependent claims

A vibration insulating mount comprising:

an elastic body which is elastically deformable upon application of vibration from a vibrating body;
a first support provided at one portion of the elastic body;
a second support integrally formed with said elastic body and being disposed at a fixed distance from the first support so as to define a space between the first and second supports, and
a stopper arranged at another portion of the elastic body, the stopper having a stopping section at one end thereof disposed within the space defined between the first support and the second support, the stopping section being structured so that, in assembly of the insulating mount, the stopping section is capable of being moved from a first position in relation to the second support without interfering with the second support, to a final position so that after assembly of the insulating mount the stopping section is contacted with one of the first support and the second support in accordance with a predetermined degree of elastic deformation of the elastic body so as to regulate further elastic deformation of the elastic body.
