  • Publication number: 20050200063
    Abstract: A vibration-damping coupling device for coupling a vibrating structure element to a non-vibrating structure element comprises: an elastomer body provided with two fastening portions each designed to be fastened respectively to one of elements; and a flexible limiter band disposed around the elastomer body and adapted to limit the relative extension movements between the two fastening elements, the limiter band being fastened to the elastomer body at least by clipping. The elastomer body is further provided with an overmolded portion that is molded over the limiter band, the limiter band being foldable over from an extension position in which it is deployed, to an in-use position in which it surrounds the elastomer body.

  • Publication number: 20050194728
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vibration-damping coupling device for coupling a vibrating structure element (11) to a non-vibrating structure element (13), said device comprising: an elastomer body (10) provided with two fastening portions (12, 14) each designed to be fastened to a respective one of said elements (11, 13); and a flexible limiter band (22) disposed around the elastomer body (10) and adapted to limit the extent to which the two fastening elements (12, 14) can move relative to each other. The limiter band (22) is stitched to the elastomer body (10) at least over one zone.

  • Patent number: 6199841
    Abstract: An anti-vibration device for damping torque designed to couple an engine with a motor vehicle chassis with a view to limiting displacements of the engine, comprising a central reinforcement simply inserted in a nest-fit between elastomer lobes projecting in the main direction of displacement inside an annular reinforcement. The lobe which is compressed when the engine produces a driving force is thicker than the others and the first reinforcement is flat perpendicular to the main direction of displacement.
