Vibration damping rubber bushing

A vibration damping rubber bushing adapted for installation between two components to be linked in a vibration damped manner comprising:

• an inner cylindrical member having opposite axial end faces, at least one of the axial end faces adapted to be pushed against one of the two components;
• a main rubber elastic body bonded to an outer circumferential face of the inner cylindrical member and adapted to be connected at an outer circumferential face side thereof to another of the two components;
• a plurality of anti-slip projections provided on the at least one of the axial end faces of the inner cylindrical member that project axially outward from the axial end face and extend with ribbed shape in a diametrical direction on the axial end face to produce a spokewise pattern overall;
• and
• an annular water barrier projection provided on a diametrical medial section of the at least one of the axial end faces of the inner cylindrical member, projecting axially outwardly and extending circumferentially, with the anti-slip projections being disposed to both radially inner side and radially outer side of the annular water barrier projection,
• wherein the anti-slip projections extend linearly in the diametrical direction from points in proximity to a radially inside edge to points in proximity to a radially outside edge of the at least one of the axial end faces of the inner cylindrical member, and
• wherein recesses that extend in the diametrical direction are respectively present between the anti-slip projections that are circumferentially adjacent, and the annular water barrier projection extends across these recesses in the circumferential direction at medial sections thereof in the diametrical direction.
