An oscillation limiting mechanism 4 is integrally provided to an engine
mount 3 (a vibration proof mount device) of a power plant P mounted on an
automobile in a traverse mount fashion. Not only is a stopper metal
member 40 in the shape of an inverted U letter disposed so as to cross
over a mount body portion 30, but a stopper rubber 42 is formed so that
it protrudes from the rear end of a casing of the mount body portion 30
toward the rear side of the vehicle body. Not only is a hollow portion 43
formed in the interior of the stopper rubber 42, but a metal core body 44
is also embedded in the stopper rubber 42 so as to be revolvable around
an axis in the vehicle body traverse direction as if it were a link. With
such a construction adopted, the stopper rubber 42 is shear-deformed in
the vertical direction with comparative ease even in a state where it is
brought into contact with the rear side leg portion 40c of a stopper
metal member 40 and thereby receives a compressive force in the vehicle
body longitudinal direction, and a dynamic spring constant of the mount 3
in the vertical direction does not rise so much even if the stopper acts
in rapid acceleration or the like; therefore, enabling increase in
surrounding sound in acceleration to be suppressed with a simple
structure less of cost up while oscillation of the power plant P is
limited in a similar way to that of a torque rod.
