Abstract

A bracket with an excellent reinforcing effect is provided. A bracket ( 1 ) with an opening (A) includes a body ( 10 ) and a reinforcement portion ( 20 ). The body ( 10 ) is made of resin. The body ( 10 ) includes a pair of column portions ( 11 ) and a pair of connecting portions ( 12, 13 ). The body ( 10 ) includes a plate portion ( 15 ) on at least one of the column portions ( 11 ). The plate portion ( 15 ) is provided with ribs ( 16 to 18 ) that extend from the side of the opening (A) to the bracket outer peripheral side and protrude in the opening penetration direction. The reinforcement portion ( 20 ) includes a reinforcement portion ( 21 ). The reinforcement portion ( 21 ) forms an outer peripheral face (f 1 ) of the bracket ( 1 ). The reinforcement portion ( 21 ) is arranged so as to overlap the ribs ( 16 to 18 ) when viewed in the opening penetration direction.

Claims (47)

1. A bracket that has an opening for mounting an anti-vibration member connected to one of a vibration generating side and a vibration receiving side, and that can be connected to an other of the vibration generating side and the vibration receiving side, the bracket comprising:

a bracket body and a reinforcement portion, wherein

the bracket body is made of resin,

the bracket body includes a pair of column portions that are spaced apart and a pair of connecting portions arranged between the pair of column portions and connecting the pair of column portions,

the bracket body further includes at least one plate portion, on at least one column portion in the pair of column portions, extending in an extending direction of the column portion and protruding in an extending direction of the connecting portions more than the column portion, and a rib extending from a side of the opening to a bracket outer peripheral side and protruding in a penetration direction of the opening is provided on the plate portion,

the reinforcement portion includes a bracket outer peripheral side reinforcement portion,

the bracket outer peripheral side reinforcement portion forms an outer peripheral face of the bracket, and

the bracket outer peripheral side reinforcement portion is arranged so as to overlap the rib when viewed in the penetration direction of the opening.

2. The bracket of claim 1 , wherein

the reinforcement portion includes a bracket inner peripheral side reinforcement portion, and

the bracket inner peripheral side reinforcement portion forms an inner peripheral face of the bracket.

3. The bracket of claim 2 , wherein

the bracket inner peripheral side reinforcement portion is a band-shaped reinforcement member and is formed in an annular shape by joining two longitudinal ends of the reinforcement member, and

a joint formed by joining the two longitudinal ends is inclined relative to the penetration direction of the opening.

4. The bracket of claim 3 , wherein the joint intersects a weld line formed in the bracket body.

5. The bracket of claim 3 , wherein the joint is formed at a position that does not intersect a weld line formed in the bracket body.

6. The bracket of claim 1 , wherein the bracket outer peripheral side reinforcement portion includes a tapered portion that is tapered from one of the connecting portions towards the plate portion when viewed in the extending direction of the column portion.

7. The bracket of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one plate portion comprises two plate portions spaced apart in the penetration direction of the opening, and
