Abstract
It is aimed to simplify assembling of an insert metal fitting into a liquid-filled Vibration-isolating apparatus and to avoid products defection. A vibration-isolating apparatus comprises upper and lower metal fittings ; a vibration-isolating base body 4 connecting the upper and lower metal fittings and formed of an elastic material having rubber-like elasticity; and an insert metal fitting embedded in the vibration-isolating base body ; the insert metal fitting being formed of a metal plate or sheet bent in an approximately U-shape. The insert metal fitting including a pair of flat side-plate portions ; and a connecting portion connecting the upper ends of the side-plate portions . The connecting portion is clamped between the upper metal fitting and a screw head of the mounting bolt which bolt is upwardly inserted into the through hole from vibration-isolating base-body side of the connecting portion. Thus, the mounting of the insert metal fitting is simplified; coating of inner surface of the insert metal fitting with adhesive is facilitated. Moreover, the flow-in property of rubber into the opening of the insert metal fitting is improved.
