Abstract: A hydraulically damped mounting device has first and second anchor parts connected by a first deformable wall, and a working chamber for hydraulic fluid partially bounded by the first deformable wall. The working chamber is connected to a composition chamber for the hydraulic fluid by a first passageway, the composition chamber being partially bounded by a second deformable wall. There is also an auxiliary chamber partially bounded by a third deformable wall connected to the working chamber by a second passageway. The mounting device then has a vacuum chamber connectable to a vacuum source for varying the pressure in the vacuum chamber.

Abstract: A hydraulically damped mounting device has a first anchor part; a second anchor part being a hollow sleeve containing the first anchor part, with the first anchor part extending axially of the sleeve; first and second resilient walls interconnecting the first and second anchor parts, two walls being spaced apart to define an enclosed space within the sleeve extending circumferentially around the first anchor part and axially bounded by the resilient walls. First and second deformable walls extend axially between the resilient walls at circumferentially spaced locations, so as to divide the enclosed space into first and second chambers for hydraulic fluid. A passageway interconnects the first and second chambers. The deformable walls have a flap, the movement of which is controlled by support devices so that the flap deforms to allow fluid to pass between the chambers only at or above a predetermined fluid pressure.

Abstract: A hydraulically damped mounting device has a first anchor part in the form of a tube and a second anchor part in the form of a ring around the tube, which ring is connected to the tube by a resilient wall. The device has a working chamber for hydraulic fluid partially bonded by the resilient wall and connected to a compensation chamber by a passageway. The chamber is partially bounded by a flexible bellows which may have a ribbed surface. The first anchor part may also include a helmet extending over the flexible bellows, which helmet is in abutting non-bonded contact with the tube. The second anchor part may have components forming a support arc to which the resilient wall is attached and a radially inner positioning arc.

Abstract: A bush assembly is seated in a housing, having an outer sleeve (10), an inner tube (12) and a resilient body (14) connecting the inner tube (12) and the outer sleeve (10). The outer sleeve (10) has projections (20) from its outer surface that abut the inner surface of the housing (40) and cause local deformations on the sleeve around the projections (20). The local deformations around the projections (20) cause the radial gap (16) between the inner tube (12) and the outer sleeve (10) to change circumferentially and thus bush has different radial stiffness in different directions.
