Patent ID: 8500109

Claim:
A vibration damping support apparatus for elastically connecting a vibration generating portion to a vibration receiving portion, and for supporting a load input from the vibration generating portion to the vibration receiving portion, the vibration damping support apparatus comprising: a first mounting member connected to one of the vibration generating portion or the vibration receiving portion; a second mounting member, disposed at an outer perimeter of the first mounting member, and connected to the other of the vibration generating portion or the vibration receiving portion; a main elastic body, disposed between the first mounting member and the second mounting member, and elastically deforming due to input of a load to the first mounting member or to the second mounting member along a specific load input direction; a stopper member having an outer peripheral surface disposed so as to face the first mounting member along the load input direction; load transmission surfaces, formed at portions at both ends of the stopper member in a load orthogonal direction that is orthogonal to the load input direction, the load transmission surfaces extending in a direction intersecting with the load orthogonal direction; load bearing surfaces, formed at the second mounting member such that the load bearing surfaces respectively face the load transmission surfaces and are parallel to the load transmission surfaces; and a stopper elastic body, manufactured from rubber, bonded to each of the respective load transmission surfaces and the load bearing surfaces, and elastically connecting the stopper member and the second mounting member to each other, wherein a specific gap is formed between the first mounting member and the stopper member.
