  • Publication number: 20090014930
    Abstract: A liquid sealed mount 10 is composed of a vibration damping body 13 and a ring-shaped elastic body 14, the vibration damping body 13 is attached to a vehicle body frame 11, and the ring-shaped elastic body 14 absorbing vibration is incorporated between the vehicle body frame 11 and a bottom-wall side member 12. Owing to this, since the vehicle body frame 11 receives a load, a case 16 is not deformed. There is no need of making strength of the vibration damping body 13 higher, whereby reduction in weight and costs and downsizing are achieved. Since a load is applied in a compression direction of the ring-shaped elastic body 14, some cracks are prevented from occurring in the ring-shaped elastic body 14. Since both a vibration absorbing function and a vibration damping function are simultaneously provided, sufficient damping performance can be secured.
