Abstract

Provided are a bracket for an anti-vibration device, and a method for manufacturing the same, in which increase of weight and peeling of a reinforcing portion are suppressed. A bracket ( 1 ) has: a reinforcing portion ( 20 ) extending in a surrounding direction of the surrounding portion ( 10 ), having ends ( 21 ) in both directions of the surrounding direction, and being fixed to an outer surface of the portion ( 10 ); and ribs ( 30 ) formed on an outer circumference of the portion ( 10 ) so as to span the ends ( 21 ) of the reinforcing portion ( 20 ) in the surrounding direction of the portion ( 10 ). The portion ( 10 ) and the ribs ( 30 ) are made of synthetic resin. A method for manufacturing the bracket ( 1 ) includes a step of injecting synthetic resin serving as the portion ( 10 ) and the ribs ( 30 ) into a mold cavity where a reinforcing member serving as the portion ( 20 ) is set.

Claims (27)

1. A bracket for an anti-vibration device having a surrounding portion for surrounding an anti-vibration member and a mounting member configured to be mounted on one of a vibration generation side and a vibration receiving side, the bracket for an anti-vibration device configured to be mounted on another of the vibration generation side and the vibration receiving side, the bracket for an anti-vibration device comprising:

a reinforcing portion that extends in a surrounding direction of the surrounding portion, has ends in both directions of the surrounding direction, and is fixed to a side of an outer surface of the surrounding portion; and

a rib that is formed on the outer surface of the surrounding portion so as to span the end of the reinforcing portion in the surrounding direction of the surrounding portion, wherein

the surrounding portion and the rib are made of synthetic resin,

the reinforcing portion is made of fiber reinforced plastic containing synthetic resin in fibrous elements,

the rib covers an outer surface of the end of the reinforcing portion,

a length of the rib in a lengthwise direction is shorter than a length of the reinforcing portion in the lengthwise direction, the lengthwise direction is an extending direction of a through-hole formed inside of the surrounding portion,

the surrounding portion has:

a first surrounding portion that is fixed to the other of the vibration generation side and the vibration receiving side and is a planar plate-like portion: and

a second surrounding portion that surrounds the anti-vibration member and the mounting member together with the first surrounding portion and is an arch-shaped portion connected to the first surrounding portion, and

a depression is provided in an outer surface of the second surrounding portion, the end of the reinforcing portion is fixed to the depression in the outer surface of the second surrounding portion.

2. The bracket for an anti-vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein

the reinforcing portion is fixed to the outer surface of the second surrounding portion, and

the rib is formed on the first surrounding portion and the second surrounding portion.

3. The bracket for an anti-vibration device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first surrounding portion has a protruding portion that protrudes outward with respect to the second surrounding portion, and

the rib is formed on an outer surface of the protruding portion of the first surrounding portion, and the outer surface of the second surrounding portion.

4. The bracket for an anti-vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein

the bracket for an anti-vibration device has the reinforcing portion, and the surrounding portion and the rib molded integrally with the reinforcing portion.

5. The bracket for an anti-vibration device according to claim 2 , wherein

the bracket for an anti-vibration device has the reinforcing portion, and the surrounding portion and the rib molded integrally with the reinforcing portion.

6. The bracket for an anti-vibration device according to claim 3 , wherein

the bracket for an anti-vibration device has the reinforcing portion, and the surrounding portion and the rib molded integrally with the reinforcing portion.

7. A method for manufacturing a bracket for an anti-vibration device, for obtaining the bracket for an anti-vibration device according to claim 1 , comprising

a step of injecting synthetic resin serving as the surrounding portion and the rib into a mold cavity where a reinforcing member serving as the reinforcing portion is set.

8. A method for manufacturing a bracket for an anti-vibration device, for obtaining the bracket for an anti-vibration device according to claim 2 , comprising

a step of injecting synthetic resin serving as the surrounding portion and the rib into a mold cavity where a reinforcing member serving as the reinforcing portion is set.
