Patent number: 9488246Abstract: An elastic partition member located in the partition member is integrally provided with a relief valve that opens and closes a leak passage to suppress the generation of the cavitation phenomenon. A pair of relief valves is formed in a crescent shape on the outer circumferential side of the movable diaphragm section in opposed relation. The crescent shape of the relief valve is formed by an inner circumferential side of elliptical arc shape and an outer circumferential side of circular arc shape. A valve length of the relief valve varies in the longitudinal direction such that a middle portion in the longitudinal direction is largest. is easily deformed when the extraordinary vibration is inputted. Each end portion in the longitudinal direction of the relief valve is short in valve length and high in rigidity whereby to prevent the leak when the normal vibration is inputted.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignees: YAMASHITA RUBBER KABUSHIKI KAISHA, HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazutoshi Satori, Teruyuki Hirokawa, Yuuichi Nakamaru, Atsushi Komatsu

Patent number: 9470287Abstract: In the inverted type liquid sealed engine mount in which a secondary liquid chamber is located above, an insulator protrudes in a mountain shape into a primary liquid chamber, and a resistor is provided within an annular recess section formed around the protruding portion. The resistor is mounted by insertion into an engaging recess of a lining layer and elastically supported by ribs so as to be movable in the annular recess section due to liquid flowing in the circumferential direction. A regulation gap is provided between the resistor and the insulator. Although a peculiar resonance occurs when the liquid passes through the regulation gap, the peak of the anti-resonance is decreased and the frequency is moved, since the resistor is movable.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: YAMASHITA RUBBER KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazutoshi Satori, Yukinobu Hirano

Patent number: 9004467Abstract: A partition member for partitioning a primary liquid chamber and a secondary liquid chamber is provided with a damping orifice and an elastic partition member. A leg portion integrally projects from a lower surface of the movable diaphragm so as to be pressed vertically against a stopper surface formed on an upper surface of the bottom portion of a frame member. A third liquid chamber is defined between an outer circumferential portion of the leg portion and the support wall. When a bottom surface of the leg portion is pressed against the stopper surface, the third liquid chamber is sealed to confine a hydraulic fluid thereby increasing the internal pressure. When the leg portion is brought out of contact with the stopper surface, the third liquid chamber is opened to the secondary liquid chamber, thereby allowing the hydraulic fluid to flow out of the third liquid chamber.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Yamashita Rubber Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazutoshi Satori, Yukinobu Hirano

Patent number: 8770559Abstract: A liquid sealed vibration isolating device has first and second mounting members and an insulator placed between the mounting members. A partition member partitions a liquid chamber into primary and secondary liquid chambers. A valve portion provided on a diaphragm enclosing the secondary liquid chamber opens and closes a port of a passage between the liquid chambers. The valve portion has an annular thick wall portion which contacts a valve seat portion provided around the port and a movable elastic diaphragm portion provided on an inside of the wall portion and is thinner than the wall portion so as to be elastically deformable by a pressure of the hydraulic liquid. The hydraulic liquid passing through the passage causes orifice resonance when the passage is opened by the valve portion. The diaphragm, including the valve portion, membrane-resonates at a frequency in the vicinity of a resonance frequency of the orifice resonance.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2008Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Yamashita Rubber Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hirokazu Kadowaki, Kazutoshi Satori

Patent number: 6820867Abstract: A fluid-sealed anti-vibration device is provided, in which a cone-shaped mounting section provided with an elastic body section which generates membrane resonance, and a cylindrical bushing section provided with an end wall and an elastic partition wall which also generate membrane resonance are integrally provided. When the fluid is filled and sealed in the cone-shaped mounting section and the cylindrical bushing section, the characteristics where a fluid is sealed in only the cone-shaped mounting section and the characteristics where the fluid is sealed in only the cylindrical busing section are coupled. Furthermore, the dynamic spring peaks and the dynamic spring bottoms, which are generated one by one in both sections, cancel each other. As a result, it is possible to realize the low dynamic spring effect in a wider frequency range by lowering the dynamic spring peak.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2001Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Yamashita Rubber Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazutoshi Satori, Toru Sakamoto
