Abstract: A fluid-filled elastic mount wherein an elastic body elastically connecting a first and a second support partially defines a fluid chamber filled with a non-compressible fluid. The elastic mount includes an oscillating plate which partially defines the fluid chamber and which is supported by the second support such that the oscillating plate is displaceable relative to the second support, and an actuator for oscillating the oscillating plate to thereby change a pressure of the fluid in the fluid chamber. The elastic mount further includes an elastic support member for flexibly connecting the oscillating plate to the second support such that the oscillating plate is movable toward and away from the fluid chamber. This elastic support member is formed of an elastic material which substantially permits shearing deformation of the elastic support member and inhibits its compressive and tensile deformation.

Abstract: A fluid-filled elastic mount including an elastic body for elastically connecting a first and a second support member, a partition structure cooperating the elastic body and a flexible diaphragm to partially define a pressure-receiving chamber and a variable-volume equilibrium chamber, respectively, which communicate with each other through an orifice, and a protective member fixed to the second support member for covering the diaphragm. The elastic mount has an elastic support member through which the protective member is elastically attached to the second support member and which cooperates with the protective member to provide a dynamic damper wherein the elastic support member is a spring member while said protective member is a mass member. This dynamic damper is effective to minimize resonating phenomenon of a mounting bracket used for fixing the second support member to one of two members that are flexibly connected by the elastic mount.

Abstract: A fluid-filled elastic mount including first and second support members and an elastic body interposed between these support members for elastically connection thereof. The elastic mount has a pressure-receiving chamber partially defined by the elastic body, first and second equilibrium chambers defined by first and second flexible diaphragms and communicating with the pressure-receiving chamber through first and second orifice passages, respectively, and a vacuum-receiving chamber which is separated by the second diaphragm from the second equilibrium chamber. In operation, the vacuum-receiving chamber is selectively subjected to a sub-atmospheric pressure or exposed to the atmosphere to control the elastic deformation of the second diaphragm. The elastic mount further has an auxiliary air chamber which cooperates with the vacuum-receiving chamber to accommodate a volumetric change of the second equilibrium chamber when the vacuum-receiving chamber is exposed to the atmosphere.

Abstract: A fluid-filled elastic mount including mutually spaced-apart first and second support members, and an elastic body for elastically connecting the first and second support members. The elastic mount has a plurality of fluid chambers filled with a non-compressible fluid and communicating with each other through an orifice passage or passages, and an air-tight operating chamber which is formed on one side of a flexible membrane remote from the corresponding fluid chamber. This flexible membrane consists of a fluid-impermeable first flexible layer which is corrosion-resistant to the non-compressible fluid, and a fluid-impermeable second flexible layer which is corrosion-resistant to gasoline. These flexible layers are superposed on each other such that the first flexible layer is exposed to the fluid chamber while the second flexible layer is exposed to the operating chamber.

Abstract: A fluid-filled elastic mount is disclosed which includes a first and a second support member, an elastic body for interconnecting the support members and partially defining a pressure-receiving chamber, and a partition structure which cooperates with a first and a second flexible diaphragm to define a first and a second equilibrium chamber.

The operating chamber is subjected to a vacuum pressure as needed to move the second diaphragm away from the opening of the second orifice passage, which is normally closed by the second diaphragm due to a biasing force of the biasing elastic member.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fluid-filled elastic mount including an elastic body connecting an inner and an outer sleeve, and having a pressure-receiving and an equilibrium chamber which are filled with a non-compressible fluid and communicate with each other through an orifice. The method includes preparing an inner unit having an intermediate sleeve connected to the inner sleeve by the elastic body, and a pocket formed in the elastic body such that the pocket is open through the intermediate sleeve and has an axial dimension defined by axially opposite side walls of the elastic body. The method further includes placing the inner unit within a mass of the fluid, and press-fitting the outer sleeve on the inner unit so as to provide the pressure-receiving chamber filled with the fluid, while applying an axial force to at least one of the side walls in the axial direction of the mount, to thereby cause elastic deformation of the side wall or walls so as to expand into the pocket.

The elastic body has a portion defining a void formed therethrough in an axial direction of the elastic mount. The void is positioned between the pressure-receiving chamber and one of the inner and outer sleeves, as viewed in a load-receiving direction in which the elastic body is compressed when the elastic mount is attached to the two members.
