  • Publication number: 20030047661
    Abstract: Anti-vibration assembly comprising an engine and a beam and an anti-vibration support for connecting the engine and the beam, damping vibration between the engine and the beam and supporting the weight of the engine in the vertical direction. The anti-vibration support comprises an inner armature and an outer armature which are connected respectively to the engine and to the beam. An elastomer body provides the connection between the inner armature and the outer armature. The outer armature forms a casing in which the inner armature (5) is force-fitted.

  • Patent number: 6454236
    Abstract: This device comprises an elastic element designed to be stretched between two fixing members spaced apart from one another in a direction of vibration and which are linked to one another by two elastomer branches, these branches extending substantially in the vibration direction. A vibrating mass links said branches to one another. This vibrating mass is provided in the form of a ring enclosing the elastic element so as to form two stop zones located respectively in the vicinity of the two fixing members in order to limit displacements of the latter under traction.
