Abstract:
1. A vibration damping mount assembly comprising: a vibration damping mount main body wherein a first mounting member for attachment to one of two vibration damped-linkage components is positioned spaced apart from one axial opening of a tubular section of a second mounting member, with the first mounting member and the second mounting member elastically connected by a main rubber elastic body; and a tubular bracket of independent form being secured fitting externally onto the tubular section of the second mounting member of the vibration damping mount main body for attachment of the second mounting member to an other of the two vibration damped-linkage components via the tubular bracket, wherein the vibration damping mount main body is furnished with a flanged portion at a peripheral edge of one axial opening of the tubular section of the second mounting member; a rubber fitting is formed covering an outside peripheral face of the tubular section of the second mounting member and an annular mating face which extends in a circumferential direction around the outside peripheral face of the tubular section is formed by the rubber fitting so as to project outwardly; the tubular bracket is made of lightweight material composed of non-ferric metal or synthetic resin, and has an inside peripheral face including an upper tapered face which slopes so as to gradually flare out upward in an axial direction and a lower tapered face which slopes so as to gradually flare out downward in the axial direction so that the upper tapered face and the lower tapered face interconnect in an axially medial part of the inside peripheral face of the tubular bracket; the flanged portion of the second mounting member of the vibration damping mount main body is axially juxtaposed against an open end of the upper tapered face of the tubular bracket, while the lower tapered face of the tubular bracket is pressed against the rubber fitting formed on the second mounting member, with the lower tapered face locked in contact against the annular mating face of the rubber fitting thereby giving rise to resistance to dislodging of the vibration damping mount main body from the tubular bracket.
