Claim 6:
7. A bracket having an internal space into which a vibration proofing member is inserted, wherein
the internal space is open on an outer surface of the bracket,
the bracket is formed, in an inner surface thereof, with at least a pair of facing-each-other surfaces, against which the vibration proofing member is pressed, and
a distance between the at least a pair of facing-each-other surfaces on a far side in an insertion direction of the vibration proofing member is the same, in at least some regions of the bracket, as that on a near side in the insertion direction,
a pair of press-fit grooves, into which a pair of attaching portions formed on the vibration proofing member is press-fitted, is formed in an inner surface of the bracket at positions horizontally facing each other, so as to extend from an opening edge of the internal space toward the far side,
a pair of press-fit surfaces is formed in the inner surface of the bracket at positions facing each other in the horizontal direction so as to extend from the opening edge of the internal space toward the far side, to have a pair of contact portions, formed on the vibration proofing member, respectively press-fitted,
each of the pair of press-fit grooves is formed along a lower edge of each of the pair of press-fit surfaces, and is recessed outward with respect to said each of the pair of press-fit surfaces,
the at least the pair of facing-each-other surfaces includes a pair of groove bottom surfaces, facing each other in a horizontal direction of the pair of press-fit grooves, a pair of upper and lower groove side surfaces, facing each other in a vertical direction of each of the pair of press-fit grooves, and the pair of press-fit surfaces, and
the vibration proofing member is fixed to the bracket by the pair of contact portions being pressed against the pair of press-fit surfaces and the pair of attaching portions being press-fitted into the pair of press-fit grooves, with the pair of attaching portions horizontally caught between the pair of groove bottom surfaces with no gap between the pair of attaching portions and respective groove bottom surfaces of the pair of groove bottom surfaces in a horizontal direction of the vibration proofing device, and each of the pair of attaching portions vertically caught between the pair of upper and lower groove side surfaces with no gap between each of the pair of attaching portions and a respective pair of the pair of upper and lower groove side surfaces in a vertical direction of the vibration proofing device.
