Abstract: A resilient mount for a piston engine, in which two liquid-filled working chambers (1, 2) are provided that are bounded by elastically inflatable boundary walls and are connected by at least two connecting passageways arranged in parallel. The connecting passageways include a damping passageway (6) which is arbitrarily closable by a valve (7). The damping passageway (6) forms a duct and which is so dimensioned that the enclosed liquid mass enters into a relative vibrating movement in phase with the piston engine, when the piston engine operates at idle speed, with an amplitude which is greater than the amplitude of the movements of the engine, multiplied by the ratio of the displacement cross section of the inflatable boundary walls (3) and the cross sectional area of the damping passageway (6).

Abstract: A hydraulically damped rubber cartridge spring incorporates two chamber pairs (4, 6; 5, 7) isolated from one another by a wall (8 ). The chambers are located at a distance from one another in the direction of the introduced vibrations. The chambers of each chamber pair are connected by damping orifices (9, 10) of a channel-like configuration. The damping orifices (9, 10) are so dimensioned and coordinated with the bulge elasticity of the corresponding walls (11) of the bilaternally adjoining chambers, that the contained liquid mass enters into a resonant motion if the vibrations introduced by the spring's operation differ from one another in frequency. The dividing wall (8) contacts the external sleeve (1) loosely when vibrations are not introduced, and at the same time is resiliently deformed toward the internal tube (2) by the external sleeve (1).

Abstract: A process and device for introducing additives, in particular energy carriers, into a cupola or shaft furnace. The additive is carried with combustion air stream and introduced therewith in the furnace shaft, a depression being created at the point where the additive is fed into the combustion air stream, so that the additive is aspirated by the combustion air into the combustion area of the furnace shaft.

Abstract: A hydraulically damped mount includes both a fluid overflow opening (6) and a damping opening (5) arranged in parallel between a fluid working chamber (4) and an equalizing chamber (7). In the overflow opening (6) there is provided a pressure relief valve (8) which can be activated by the differential pressure between the working chamber and the equalizing chamber. This valve contains a control element (10) and an opposing counter stop (11) which the control element can contact with a tight fit and which it can pass by in case of excess pressure. When inactive, the control element (10) is spaced apart from the counter stop (11) at such a distance that a contact with the counter stop (11) is impossible when acoustically active vibrations are introduced.

Abstract: An encapsulated rubber cushion loaded mostly perpendicularly to its axis, in which two sleeves, one radially inside the other, are bonded together by a resilient body of rubber. The resilient body contains fluid-filled chambers which are connected at least partially by connecting openings. The dividing walls of the resilient body which separate the chambers from one another have from their manufacture a breadth which exceeds their installed breadth. They thus join the ready-to-use encapsulated rubber cushion in a resiliently compressed state.
