Abstract
A damper device for attachment to a shock-affected component, including a pair of elastic members for absorbing shock which may be applied to the shock-affected component, each of the elastic members taking the form of a block and having first and second sides which are opposite to each other, and a slit formed in the first side and extending into the interior of the elastic member, a support member for supporting the elastic members, the support member having a pair of spaced apart projecting pieces and an intermediate section interconnecting the spaced apart projecting pieces, each of the projecting pieces being formed to have a substantially inverted L-shape in cross-section, the intermediate section being adapted to be mounted on the shock-affected component, the elastic members being adapted to be supported to the support member by causing the elastic members to be fitted on tips of the projecting pieces through slits in the elastic members, and a pair of receiving plates adapted to be mounted on the shock-affected component close to second sides of the elastic members and elastically engaged with the second sides the elastic members and elastically engaged with the second sides of the elastic members, so that where the damper device is attached to the shock-affected component, the elastic members are securely supported to the shock-affected component through the support members and receiving plates without readily detaching from the shock-affected component.
