Abstract:
A fluid filled vibration damping device includes an elastic body connecting a first and a second mounting member to close one opening of the second mounting member, and a lid member is fixed caulkwise to a shoulder of the second mounting member to close the other opening of the second mounting member, thereby providing a fluid chamber filled with a noncomporessible fluid. A partition member of outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the cylindrical caulking portion is formed with engaging projections rising up with a uplift cutout form. The engaging projections is fit into the second mounting member with the partition member superimposed on the shoulder so that the second mounting member is positioned in an axis-perpendicular direction to the second mounting member. Cutout openings left after the engaging projections have been formed are closed by a sealing portion.
Abstract:
A fluid-filled vibration damping device includes: an elastic body connecting a first mounting member and a second mounting member; and a partition member assembled with the second mounting member to form on its opposite sides a pressure receiving chamber partially defined by the elastic body and an equilibrium chamber partially defined by a flexible layer, both being filled with non-compressible fluid. The partition member defines an orifice passage connecting the two chambers, and including a first partitioning wall portion partitioning the orifice passage from the pressure-receiving chamber, and a second partitioning wall portion of rubber partitioning the orifice passage from the equilibrium chamber. A partial reinforcing member is provided to the partition member extending across the first and second partitioning wall portions to reinforce an opening of the orifice passage to the pressure-receiving chamber.
Abstract:
Hydroelastic joint comprising an outer shell (1) and an inner shell (2) arranged one around the other and an elastically deformable element (6) arranged between the shells and shaped so that it defines at least two chambers (17a, 17b) opposite one another along a predefined damping direction (b), the chambers being able to communicate via at least one overpressure channel (25a, 25b) having at least one portion with variable cross-section, characterized in that it comprises force return means (24) to produce, from a force (F) tending to displace the shells relative to one another, a tightening force (P) at the level of the portion with variable cross-section of the overpressure channel, to oppose the circulation of damping liquid through the overpressure channel.
Abstract:
An elastic mount wherein a first and a second support member are spaced apart from each other and elastically connected to each other by an elastic body, wherein the second support member has a cylindrical fixing portion having a larger diameter than the first support member, and a cylindrical bracket member is press-fitted on the fixing portion of the second support member such that the cylindrical bracket member encloses the first support member. The bracket member includes an axial end portion provided with an integrally formed abutting part opposed to the first support member in an axial direction of the bracket member. A buffer member interposed between the first support member and the abutting part cooperates with the first support member and the abutting part to constitute a first stop mechanism for limiting an amount of relative displacement of the first and second support members away from each other, by abutting contact of the first support member and the abutting part with each other through the first buffer member. Also disclosed is a method of producing the present elastic mount.

The spring type buffer device has an adjustable bolt, an upper stay, an upper rod, an upper seat, soft pads, hard pads, a lower seat and a lower rod.
Abstract:
A vibration isolator includes a substantially sealed space within a housing 4 forming a liquid chamber by partitioning the sealed space with a diaphragm 5. The liquid chamber is further partitioned into first and second chambers 7 and 8 by a rubber partition wall 6. An orifice passage 9 is arranged to communicate between these two chambers 7 and 8. The rubber partition wall 6 is provided at its intermediate portion with a membrane portion 11, a part of which is adapted to serve as a stopper portion 12. When the membrane portion 11 is bent and deformed downwardly, the stopper portion 12 is pushed, at its front end, on a partition wall supporting member 14 for deformation. The repulsion force of the stopper portion 12 by the deformation varies non-linearly in response to the deformation of the membrane portion 11 and as a result, the spring characteristic of the membrane portion 11 also becomes non-linear.
Abstract:
A hydraulic damping device is provided having a rubber elastic body, a rubber film member closing an opening of the rubber elastic body so as to define a closed chamber, and a partition member dividing the closed chamber into two liquid chambers. A restricted liquid passageway interconnects the two liquid chambers. A cylindrical frame member composed of a resin material having a low coefficient of thermal conductivity is joined to the outer peripheral surface of the rubber elastic body. A support member composed of an aluminum alloy is secured to the outer peripheral surface of the frame member and is connected to an engine. When the support member receives a large amount of heat from the engine, the rubber elastic body is thermally insulated from the support member by virtue of the resin frame member, and accordingly, can be prevented from deteriorating due to the heat of the engine. In addition, by composing the support member of an aluminum alloy, the weight of the device can be reduced.
Abstract:
A fluid-filled elastic mount including first and second support members and an elastic body interposed between these members for elastic connection thereof. The elastic mount has a pressure-receiving chamber partially defined by the elastic body, first and second equilibrium chambers defined by first and second flexible diaphragms and communicating with the pressure-receiving chamber through first and second orifice passages, respectively. The second orifice passage has a higher ratio of the cross sectional area to the length than the first orifice passage. The present elastic mount further includes an elastic restriction member which is opposed to the second diaphragm and cooperates with the diaphragm to define a vacuum-receiving chamber for allowing elastic deformation of the second diaphragm. In operation, a vacuum pressure is applied where appropriate to the vacuum-receiving chamber, to draw the second diaphragm onto the elastic restriction member, so as to restrict free deformation of the second diaphragm and permit oscillation of the diaphragm with the elastic restriction member.
Abstract:
A fluid-filled elastic mount including a first and a second support member elastically connected by an elastic body interposed between, a cylindrical connecting member secured to an outer surface of the elastic body, and a closure member fitted on the connecting member. The closure member cooperates with the elastic body to define a fluid chamber filled with a non-compressible fluid. The fluid chamber is divided by a partition structure supported by the closure member, into a pressure-receiving chamber and a variable-volume equilibrium chamber. A sealing rubber layer is sandwiched between the connecting and closure members, in a direction perpendicular to the load-receiving direction of the mount, assuring fluid-tight sealing of the fluid chamber. The second support member includes a caulking portion which retains the connecting and closure members in the load-receiving direction. A method of manufacturing the fluid-filled elastic mount as described above is also disclosed.
