Abstract

This vibration-damping device ( 1 ) includes: a bracket member ( 3 ) connected to one of a vibration-generator and a vibration-receiver; and a vibration-damping member ( 2 A, 2 B) including: a cylindrical first mounting member ( 20 A, 20 B) fitted inside a fitting part ( 30 ) provided in the bracket member ( 3 ), a second mounting member ( 21 A, 21 B) connected to the other of the vibration generator and the vibration receiver, and an elastic body ( 22 A, 22 B) that elastically connects the first mounting member ( 20 A, 20 B) and the second mounting member ( 21 A, 21 B). The first mounting member ( 20 A, 20 B) and the fitting part ( 30 ) are each formed in a shape having a plurality of radii of different lengths in a plan view.

Claims (11)

1. A vibration-damping device comprising:

a bracket member connected to one of a vibration-generator and a vibration-receiver; and

a vibration-damping member including: a cylindrical first mounting member fitted inside a fitting part provided in the bracket member and connected to the one of the vibration-generator and the vibration-receiver via the bracket member, a second mounting member connected to the other of the vibration generator and the vibration receiver, and an elastic body that elastically connects the first mounting member and the second mounting member, wherein

the first mounting member and the fitting part are each formed in a shape having a plurality of radii of different lengths in a plan view such that the vibration-damping member and the bracket member are positioned in the circumferential direction in response to the first mounting member being fitted inside the fitting part of the bracket member, and

a cut-out part is formed in the elastic body and is disposed at a position in a short-diameter direction with the shortest radius in radial directions of the first mounting member.

2. The vibration-damping device according to claim 1 , wherein

a pair of vibration-damping members are disposed such that end faces of first mounting members in an axial direction thereof face each other, and second mounting members are formed in cylindrical shapes;

a pair of sandwiching members are provided to sandwich the pair of vibration-damping members from both sides in an axial direction thereof, and a fastening member is provided to be inserted inside the second mounting members and to connect the pair of sandwiching members;

each first mounting member of the pair of vibration-damping members includes a flange part that protrudes radially outward;

the bracket member is disposed between a pair of flange parts; and

by fastening the fastening member and thereby pressing the pair of sandwiching members in a direction closer to each other, the bracket member is sandwiched between the pair of flange parts and the pair of vibration-damping members are held in the bracket member, and elastic bodies are compressed beforehand by the pair of sandwiching members.
