  • Patent number: 4893799
    Abstract: Antivibration isolation device with hydraulic damping of radial elasticity, consisting of four concentric tubes bonded two by two to the elastic lateral walls, which by simultaneous fitting form two chambers connected by a long laminar passage for an inertial damping fluid, shunted by limited deformation of a thin membrane, to modulate the apparent dynamic rigidity as a function of the frequency. Process for the realization of such a device. The object of the invention is to provide antivibration isolation for machines or motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 4834350
    Abstract: Antivibration isolation device with integrated hydraulic damping, comprising an elastic support consisting of a thick conical elastomer membrane bonded to rigid internal and external framework, and crimped in a rigid casing enclosing a damping liquid acting by the inertia of a very long column, characterized by the fact that an assembly constituted by progressive stops to limit deflections which are rigidly connected to a support washer is enclosed in the chamber thus constituted, and that the space intended for the expansion of the damping liquid is moved to the exterior of the rigid casing, which is the boundary of the elastic support. Application to the suspension of power units of vehicles or truck cabins.

  • Patent number: 4819565
    Abstract: A tubular joint for connecting an intercommunication tunnel forming a passage compartment placed between two successive railroad on road vehicles or two successive members of access gangways to ships or to planes, said tubular joint being fitted on one hand to lateral, upper and lower walls of said vehicles or of said access gangways and on the other hand on said intercommunication tunnel, and being inflated with a gas under a relative pressure of 0.1 to 0.5 bar; said tubular joint having a symmetry plane and being composed of two rolling membranes (1a), (1b), that are U-Shaped, assembled by tightening of their ends (11a) and (11b) in said symmetry plane of said tubular joint (1) to provide a connection which can withstand all pulls exerted on the intercommunication tunnel.
