The expanded portion 18 strongly abuts on the edge of the member 3 to be mounted, which is opposite to the flange 9. Therefore, the fastener 1 is fixed to the mounted member 3 in a state where the mounted member is sandwiched between the expanded portion 18 and the flange 9. On the other hand, the mounting member 6 is firmly sandwiched between the head 17 of the bolt 5 and the flange 9. As a result, the mounting member 6 is mounted on the mounted member 3. Between the mounting member 6 and the mounted member 3, there is a flange 9 and a tubular portion 7 made of an elastomer material, that is, an elastic material, and the bolt 5 that is in contact with the mounting member 6
Is threadedly engaged with the female screw portion 2, but since the tubular portion 7 made of an elastic material is interposed between the attached member 3 and the attached member 3, the elastic member is attached between the attached member 3 and the attaching member 6. The material (elastomer material) intervenes to give a high vibration-proof effect and not only prevent the transmission of vibration and noise, but also have the effect of absorbing the vibration and noise by the elastomer material. Further, the mounting hole 13 of the mounted member 3 is formed by the expanded portion 1 of the tubular portion 7 made of an elastomer material.
Since it is hermetically sealed by 8, high hermeticity against liquids and gases can be obtained. When the bolt 5 is reversed and pulled out from the fastener 1, the elastic fastener 1 returns to its original shape and can be reused. Further, even after the end of the useful life of the fastener 1 or when disposing of a defective product, the female screw portion 2 is not made of metal, so that the fastener is directly melted without separating the female screw portion from the tubular portion and the flange. It can also be recycled. Even if the member 3 to be mounted is a considerably thick material and the tubular portion 7 cannot be inserted into the mounting hole of the member to be mounted, the tubular portion 7 is expanded in the mounting hole by the strong screwing of the bolt 5. By doing so, that portion can be firmly and closely fixed to the mounting hole, and the mounting member 6 and the like can also be mounted by this.

FIG. 8 is a graph showing the vibration-damping characteristics of the elastic fastener 1 according to the present invention and a conventional elastic fastener using a chloroprene rubber and a metallic female screw portion. The dotted line in the graph is the characteristic of the conventional elastic fastener, and the solid line is the characteristic of the elastic fastener of the present invention. The test conditions were that the vibration direction applied to each fastener was the shear direction (direction orthogonal to the axial direction), the input acceleration was constant at 1 G, and the frequency was increased in 10 minutes in the frequency range of 10 Hz to 2000 Hz. did. The weight of each fastener was 330 g, and four fasteners were stopped.

In the graph of FIG. 8, it can be seen that the conventional chloroprene fastener has a variable output acceleration and is not stable in vibration isolation in the shearing direction. Particularly, in the conventional chloroprene fastener, the maximum resonance point is generated due to a large fluctuation in the vicinity of 900 Hz, and the vibration damping effect is weakened at this point. On the other hand, the fastener of the present invention has a low output acceleration as a whole and exhibits stable and good vibration damping characteristics. There is also no noticeable output, as with conventional fasteners. Therefore, it can be seen that the fastener of the present invention has high vibration isolation. The test in the compression direction showed almost the same result.

According to the present invention, the tubular portion and the flange are
It is made of a specific elastomer material, the internal thread is made of a specific hard resin material (high-strength engineering plastic), and no metal nut is used. The weight can be reduced, and since heat fusion can be used to join the female screw part to the tubular part, no adhesive is required.In addition, the molding time of the tubular part and the flange is the same as that of conventional chloroprene rubber. Compared with molding of fasteners, it was greatly reduced to 1/3 or less. In addition, the generation of cracks due to ozone can be suppressed, ozone resistance is improved, and vibration resistance is also improved.
