Patent number: 9791016Abstract: [Object] To provide a durable liquid-sealed mount that allows a relative displacement between a stud and a housing, i.e., large strokes, has good cushioning properties, has good damping properties by inhibiting cavitation from generating even if high frequency vibration is introduced, and can still absorb small amplitude and high frequency vibration. [Solving Means] A liquid-sealed mount 1 is attached between a first member and a second member for controlling vibration introduced to the first member or the second member and includes a cup-shaped housing 10, a stud 20, a cap member 30, a diaphragm 40, highly viscous liquid 50, air, a movable damping plate 70, and a support member 80. The support member 80 is positioned between a lower end of the stud 20 or the movable damping plate 70 and the diaphragm 40 and transmits a load in a compression direction applied to the stud 20 to the diaphragm 40.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Fukoku Co., Ltd.Inventor: Mitsuo Kuzukawa

Publication number: 20090014930Abstract: A liquid sealed mount 10 is composed of a vibration damping body 13 and a ring-shaped elastic body 14, the vibration damping body 13 is attached to a vehicle body frame 11, and the ring-shaped elastic body 14 absorbing vibration is incorporated between the vehicle body frame 11 and a bottom-wall side member 12. Owing to this, since the vehicle body frame 11 receives a load, a case 16 is not deformed. There is no need of making strength of the vibration damping body 13 higher, whereby reduction in weight and costs and downsizing are achieved. Since a load is applied in a compression direction of the ring-shaped elastic body 14, some cracks are prevented from occurring in the ring-shaped elastic body 14. Since both a vibration absorbing function and a vibration damping function are simultaneously provided, sufficient damping performance can be secured.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2006Publication date: January 15, 2009Applicant: Fukoku Co., LtdInventor: Mitsuo Kuzukawa

Publication number: 20080296816Abstract: An antivibration mounting apparatus (30) is provided with a case (31) fixed to a turning table (13) and a stud (33) fixed to a cab (20). An elastic body (34) is provided between the case (31) and the stud (33), and relative displacement of the stud (33) to the case (31) in the diameter direction is suppressed by the elastic body (34). On the lower part of the case (31), an attenuating mechanism (40) having an attenuating liquid (43) stored in a liquid chamber (42) and an attenuating member (41) fixed by the stud (33) is provided. Furthermore, on the upper part of the case (31), an air spring (50) supported by the stud (33) or the case (31) is provided, and a load transmitted from the cab (20) to the stud (33) in the shaft direction is supported by the air spring (50).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2004Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: Fukoku Co., LTDInventors: Tatsuo Tanaka, Mitsuo Kuzukawa
