Abstract

The vibration isolation device ( 10 ) includes a first mounting member ( 11 ) connected to one of a vibration generating portion and a vibration receiving portion, and a second mounting member ( 12 ) connected to the other thereof; and an elastic body ( 13 ) disposed between the mounting members. On either one of opposing surfaces ( 24, 25 ) that oppose each other, respectively on the first mounting member ( 11 ) and the second mounting member ( 12 ), a stopper elastic body ( 27 ) having a stopper surface ( 26 ) which faces the other of the opposing surfaces ( 24, 25 ) such as to be capable of coming into contact therewith, and a hollow portion ( 30 ) in which the stopper elastic body ( 27 ) is disposed, are provided. The stopper elastic body ( 27 ) is fitted into the hollow portion ( 30 ) such that, among the surfaces of the stopper elastic body ( 27 ), a counter-stopper surface ( 34 ) which faces the direction opposed to the stopper surface ( 26 ), is in a state of non-contact.

Claims (19)

1. A vibration isolation device comprising:

a first mounting member connected to one of a vibration generating portion and a vibration receiving portion, and a second mounting member connected to the other thereof; and

an elastic body disposed between the mounting members;

wherein, on either one of opposing surfaces that oppose each other, respectively on the first mounting member and the second mounting member, a stopper elastic body having a stopper surface which faces the other of the opposing surfaces such as to be capable of coming into contact therewith, and a hollow portion in which the stopper elastic body is disposed, are provided,

wherein the stopper elastic body is fitted into the hollow portion such that, among the surfaces of the stopper elastic body, a counter-stopper surface which faces the direction opposed to the stopper surface, is in a state of non-contact, and

wherein the counter-stopper surface faces the elastic body through the hollow portion so as to be able to come into contact with the elastic body.

2. The vibration isolation device according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow portion is a through hole that opens in both directions in the opposition direction in which the opposing surfaces oppose each other.

3. The vibration isolation device according to claim 2 , wherein the stopper elastic body is arranged such that the counter-stopper surface faces the elastic body and is capable of coming into contact therewith.

4. The vibration isolation device according to claim 1 , wherein the stopper elastic body is provided with an engagement portion that engages with a peripheral portion of an opening of the hollow portion on the opposing surface on which the stopper elastic body is disposed.

5. A vibration isolation device comprising:

a first mounting member connected to one of a vibration generating portion and a vibration receiving portion, and a second mounting member connected to the other thereof; and

an elastic body disposed between the mounting members;

wherein, on either one of opposing surfaces that oppose each other, respectively on the first mounting member and the second mounting member, a stopper elastic body having a stopper surface which faces the other of the opposing surfaces such as to be capable of coming into contact therewith, and a hollow portion in which the stopper elastic body is disposed, are provided,

wherein the stopper elastic body is fitted into the hollow portion such that, among the surfaces of the stopper elastic body, a counter-stopper surface which faces the direction opposed to the stopper surface, is in a state of non-contact, and

wherein the stopper elastic body protrudes from the second mounting member in a first direction that crosses a second direction in which the first mounting member and the second mounting member sandwich the elastic body.

6. The vibration isolation device according to claim 5 , wherein

the second mounting member includes a recess extending, in a direction opposite the second direction, into the second mounting member from an outer surface of the second mounting member,

the elastic body protrudes from the recess of the second mounting member in the second direction, and

the hollow portion communicates with the recess in a direction opposite the first direction, and the stopper elastic body extends into the hollow portion in the direction opposite the first direction.
