  • Patent number: 11359691
    Abstract: A vibration damping device for a vehicle includes: a first attachment member attached to a first member; a second attachment member attached to a second member; a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber configured to change volumes according to relative displacement between the first attachment member and the second attachment member; and an orifice passage configured to cause a liquid to flow between the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber according to changes in the volumes of the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber. The orifice passage is curved at least partially in an axial direction thereof, and the liquid contains a non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity decreases as a shear rate increases.

  • Patent number: 10989265
    Abstract: A vibration damping device of an inverted structure includes a cylinder, a rod capable of protruding and retracting in the cylinder, an outer cylinder coupled to the rod and inserted over the outer periphery of the cylinder, and a bush slidably inserted between the outer cylinder and the cylinder. A gap between the outer cylinder and the cylinder is filled with lubricating oil. The bush contains polytetrafluoroethylene and perfluoro alkoxy alkane. The lubricating oil contains an organic molybdenum additive.
