Patent number: 5094433Abstract: A vibration isolating device is disclosed, which comprises two vibration-damping liquid chambers, and a partition member interposed between the two liquid chambers and provided with a restricted passage therein. In this device, the partition member comprises a pair of lapped plate materials, at least one of which is provided with a depression for defining the restricted passage in the lapping of the plate materials.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1988Date of Patent: March 10, 1992Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Takuya Dan, Nobuaki Fujiwara

Patent number: 4872650Abstract: A vibration insulating device for preventing vibration from being transmitted from an engine to a vehicle body in an automotive vehicle. The vibration insulating device is comprised of an elastic support member bonded between an inner cylinder connected to the engine and an outer cylinder connected to the vehicle body. The elastic support member is formed with a hollow which is located on an upper side of an imaginary horizontal plane containing the axis of the inner cylinder. The hollow functions to prevent a considerable tensile force from being applied to the elastic support member. Two small liquid chambers are formed between a part of the elastic support member and the inner periphery of the outer cylinder, and located on a lower side of the imaginary vertical plane. The two small liquid chambers communicate through an orifice passage. Additionally, one of the two small liquid chambers is adjacent to an air chamber through a flexible diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1988Date of Patent: October 10, 1989Assignees: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Tabata, Tatsuro Ishiyama, Takao Ushijima, Takuya Dan

Patent number: 4787610Abstract: This invention is a liquid filled type vibration insulating device, wherein a partition member dividing a closed chamber into two liquid chambers is provided with a gas chamber isolated from both liquid chambers and a portion of the gas chamber adjacent to at least one of the liquid chambers is partly or wholly defined by a flexible diaphragm, and is to prevent the increase of dynamic spring rate in the vibration insulating device due to high frequency vibrations by absorption of vibration through deformation of a flexible diaphragm when high frequency, small amplitude vibrations are particularly transmitted to the device.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1986Date of Patent: November 29, 1988Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Kojima, Michihiro Orikawa, Takuya Dan

Patent number: 4787609Abstract: A vibration isolating apparatus having a support shaft connected to either one of a vibration generating portion and a vibration receiving portion, a base member connected to the other of the two, and a resilient member interposed between the base member and the support shaft and deformable in response to the movement of the support shaft in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis thereof. A stopper is provided on the side of the support shaft which is remote from a vibration absorbing liquid chamber for limiting the movement of the support shaft. Accordingly, even when a load acts on the support shaft and the base member in a direction in which they are pulled away from each other, the support shaft can reliably be supported by way of the stopper.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1987Date of Patent: November 29, 1988Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Takuya Dan, Tatsuro Ishiyama

Patent number: 4702346Abstract: An annular element is disposed within an outer tubular member of an insulator device in a manner to surround a recessed elastomeric body interposed between the outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. A channel formed in the outer periphery of the annular element is closed by the outer tubular member to define a passage which fluidly intercommunicates chambers defined by the recesses formed in the elastomeric body. The channel is sufficiently long and robust as to ensure the desired vibration damping and working life of the unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 1986Date of Patent: October 27, 1987Assignees: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Takaaki Uno, Takuya Dan, Michihiro Orikawa

Patent number: 4660812Abstract: A vibration isolating apparatus is mounted on a vehicle body so as to absorb vibrations from a vibration source such as an engine. The apparatus includes a deformable liquid chamber which is divided into small liquid chambers by means of a partition plate. A bore which is formed in the partition plate is opened and closed by means of a valve, whereby the small liquid chambers are communicated with and shut off from each other. As a means for absorbing low-frequency vibrations, an orifice is provided which provides communication between the small liquid chambers. When a high-frequency vibration is generated, the valve is opened, and the bore of the partition plate causes liquid-mass resonance. A part of one of the small liquid chambers is constituted by a diaphragm through which a valve-driving force is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1985Date of Patent: April 28, 1987Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Takuya Dan, Michihiro Orikawa, Hiroshi Kojima

Patent number: 4505462Abstract: An elastomeric shock and vibration isolator having a ring shaped rubber member in which a space is formed or a ring shaped rubber member having within such an internal space a sealed gas chamber and two liquid chambers filled with liquid which are interconnected through an orifice has a tightening ring on the outer circumference of the ring shaped member. The tightening ring is adjustable to adjust the tightening force against the ring shaped rubber member. The characteristics of a thus constructed elastomeric shock and vibration isolator can be changed to correspond to the position and condition of utilization.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1982Date of Patent: March 19, 1985Assignee: Bridgestone Tire Company LimitedInventors: Takuya Dan, Isao Watanabe, Tomoyuki Kurata
