Patent ID: 7793922

Claim:
A bound stopper comprising: a fixing metal fitting having a tubular portion and a bottom portion, and a stopper body made of an elastic material extending in an axial direction of the tubular portion of the fixing metal fitting, the stopper body being inserted into the tubular portion of the fixing metal fitting at an axial end portion thereof to be vulcanized and bonded to inner surfaces of the tubular portion and the bottom portion of the fixing metal fitting, the bound stopper being fixed to a tubular bracket having a bottom portion such that an outer surface of the bottom portion of the fixing metal fitting is in contact with an outer surface of the bottom portion of the bracket, the bracket being mounted on the lower surface of a vehicle body so as to be open upward, thereby providing a drainage path for draining water which has passed through a plurality of drainage holes formed in the bottom portion of the bracket, wherein, upon the fixing metal fitting being in contact with the bracket, the drainage path is constituted by a recessed portion formed on at least one of a plurality of corresponding portions on the bottom portion of the fixing metal fitting, each of the corresponding portions being positioned so as to correspond to each of the plurality of the drainage holes, the recessed portion communicating with the drainage hole corresponding to the at least one of the corresponding portions and being open outwardly in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the tubular portion of the fixing metal fitting, and wherein a locating projection is provided on an outer surface of the corresponding portion different from the at least one of the corresponding portions having the recessed portion thereon, the locating projection being insertable into the drainage hole corresponding to the different corresponding portion and an insertion of the locating projection into the drainage hole allowing the fixing metal fitting to be circumferentially positioned, upon the fixing metal fitting being contact with the bracket, such that the plurality of the corresponding portions corresponds to the plurality of the drainage holes.
