TORQUE ROD STRUCTURE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/033529

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An object of the invention is to increase the bending rigidity and torsional rigidity, as well as compression strength and tensile strength, of a torque rod by adding improvements to the rod portion of the torque rod. According to the invention, the torsional rigidity is improved 2 to 3 times in terms of a ratio to conventional rib shapes. The torque rod includes a pair of built-in rubber bushings formed to surround a pair of cylindrical sleeves, and a rod portion for joining the two rubber bushings. The cross section of the middle of the rod portion is quadrangular, with a pair of opposed sides of the quadrangle expanded outward. The cross section of the rod portion is hollow, honeycomb-shaped or of rib construction. In the figures, referential numerals (11, 12), (20) and (21) indicate inner sleeves, a torque rod, and a hollow portion, respectively.
