A damping apparatus which includes a first member joined to a first
object; a second member joined to a second object; and a vibration
absorbing member installed between the first and second members for
absorbing vibration. At least one of the first and second members is
provided with elastic hooks so that the elastic hooks can be elastically
caught by respective edge portions provided at the corresponding object,
and the member can be joined to the corresponding object. In this
structure, since at least one of the first and second objects is simply
joined to the damping apparatus by using the elastic hooks, the
installation process of the damping apparatus can be performed in a very
simple manner. In addition, since screwing members are unnecessary in the
side using the elastic hooks, the number of parts can be reduced.
