Abstract:
A torque rod capable of suppressing an outside member from being deformed or broken at the time of a vulcanized molding. A torque rod includes: a first antivibration device including: a cylindrical outside member having an axial end face, an axial inside member disposed on an internal peripheral side of the outside member, and an antivibration base body including a rubber-like elastic body adhered, in a vulcanized manner, to an external peripheral face of the inside member and to an internal peripheral face of the outside member; and a connecting member connected to a second antivibration device connecting two members by a rubber-like elastic body, the connecting member being an article integrated with the outside member, wherein the outside member includes a level difference which is provided at the axial end face around an entire circumference and which has a radial outside axially concaved relative to a radial inside.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for manufacturing a torque rod which includes:\n a first antivibration device connecting, by an antivibration base body including a rubber-like elastic body, an internal peripheral face of a cylindrical outside member with an external peripheral face of an axial inside member disposed on an internal peripheral side of the outside member, and a connecting member connected to a second antivibration device connecting two members by a rubber-like elastic body, the connecting member being an article integrated with the outside member, the method for manufacturing the torque rod, comprising: a holding process for:\n fixing the inside member in a metallic mold, and \n sandwiching axial end faces of the outside member respectively with contact faces of the metallic mold, to thereby fix the outside member in the metallic mold; and \n a vulcanizing process for making a vulcanized molding by injecting a rubber-like elastic body into a cavity of the metallic mold to which the inside member and the outside member are fixed in the holding process, to thereby form the antivibration base body connecting the external peripheral face of the inside member with the internal peripheral face of the outside member, wherein one of an axial end face of the axial end faces and a contact face of the contact faces has a protrusion which protrudes toward another of the axial end face and the contact face and which is formed around an entire circumference.
