Patent ID: 8104749

Claim:
A vibration damping device having a rubber heat-insulating cover comprising: a first mounting member fixable to one of components connected together in a vibration damping fashion; a second mounting member fixable to an other of the components; a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the first and second mounting members; a stopper member of arched shape which includes a pair of leg portions at either end of a strike plate portion extending in an axis-perpendicular direction, the stopper member being attached with lower ends of the pair of leg portions fastened to the second mounting member so as to project outward from the first mounting member in order to effect relative positioning of the strike plate portion and the first mounting member; a cushioning rubber disposed on the strike plate portion on a face thereof in opposition to the first mounting member, to constitute a rebound stopper mechanism for limitation of an amount of displacement of the first mounting member and the second mounting member in a direction of mutual separation, through striking of the first mounting member and the strike plate portion via the cushioning rubber; and a rubber heat-insulating cover for covering an outside face of the main rubber elastic body with a gap therebetween, disposed overlying the main rubber elastic body from a first mounting member side, wherein the rubber heat-insulating cover is formed as a separate component from the stopper member and is disposed between the stopper member and the main rubber elastic body while affixing the rubber heat-insulating cover to the stopper member with a center section of the rubber heat-insulating cover juxtaposed from an inner face side against the strike plate portion of the stopper member to be supported by the strike plate portion, and with a peripheral wall section of the rubber heat-insulating cover juxtaposed from the inner face side against the leg portions of the stopper member to be supported by the leg portions, wherein the cushioning rubber is integrally formed with the center section of the rubber heat-insulating cover supported on the strike plate portion, and projects towards the first mounting member, and wherein the rubber heat-insulating cover has an inverted cup shape and includes an insertion slot formed extending along both peripheral wall portions from a bottom portion on an outside face of the rubber heat-insulating cover, and the stopper member is fitted into the insertion slot.
