Abstract
A vibration isolation structure for an image-forming apparatus includes an exposure unit disposed in a vehicle compartment, for applying radiation to a subject and capturing a radiation image of the subject; a support post fixedly mounted in the compartment of the vehicle; a holder for holding the exposure unit; and a vibration-suppressing mechanism for connecting the support post and the holder to each other to suppress vibrations transmitted from the vehicle through the support post to the holder. The vibration-suppressing mechanism may include a resilient member disposed between the support post and the holder, holding the holder swingably with respect to the support post. The resilient member may include a helical spring or a plurality of resilient components. The resilient member may have characteristics established depending on the weight and position of the center of gravity of the holder or exposure unit, or conditions in which the vehicle is driven.
