  • Patent number: 8016274
    Abstract: An antivibration device for supporting loads and damping vibration between external elements. The antivibration device comprises two rigid members and a resilient body for supporting loads and partially damping vibrations The antivibration device also comprises a damping unit for further damping of vibrations coincidentally with the resilient body. The antivibration also has an inhibitor apparatus which may be operated to drive the damping unit between two positions to selectively allow the transmission of loads and vibrations to the damping unit.

  • Publication number: 20080169592
    Abstract: An antivibration support disposed for supporting and dampening loads between external elements, comprising a first and a second rigid member for securing to the external elements, and an elastomer body, connecting respectively the first and second rigid members. The support also comprises a second body, having dissimilar material properties from the elastomer body, acting in parallel with the elastomer body to support and dampen the loads.

  • Patent number: 7341244
    Abstract: A hydraulic anti-vibration support comprises at least one elastomer spring body made of a high temperature-resistant material which connects a first rigid strength member and a second rigid strength member. The first rigid strength member includes a piston which comprises a rod terminated by an end member, and a second rigid strength member has an opening which is traversed by said piston. A liquid-filled module is mounted inside a casing which is secured to the second rigid strength member, and includes a working chamber defined in part by a substantially dome shaped elastomer wall which has a central area in contact with the end member of the piston without any mechanical securing. Preferably, the high temperature-resistant material comprises silicone and is in non-adhesive contact with the first and the second rigid strength members.
