Abstract
Abstract A vibration isolating device for use in an engine mount or the like is disclosed, which comprises a pair of frame bodies, an elastic member disposed between the two frame bodies, a partition member dividing a closed chamber into two liquid chambers, and at least one restricted passage arranged in the partition member. In the device of this type, the partition member is provided with a vibration insulating unit comprising a pair of flexible diaphragms and a perforated rigid plate sandwiched therebetween.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A vibration isolating device comprising: two bodies connected to separate members, an elastic member disposed between the two frame bodies to form a closed chamber, a partition member secured at its peripheral edge to one of the two frame bodies and dividing the closed chamber into two small chambers, at least one restricted passage arranged in the partition member to establish liquid communication of the two small chambers with each other, wherein the partition member is further provided with a vibration insulating unit comprising a pair of flexible diaphragms each made of rubber and having at least one opening, and a perforated rigid plate sandwiched therebetween; each of said flexible diaphragms secured at its peripheral portion to said rigid plate, said flexible diaphragms spaced apart at central portions thereof from said rigid plate and deformable to oscillate in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of said rigid plate during high frequency small amplitude vibrations to suppress the rise of dynamic spring rate; and said restricted passage is arranged in at least a portion of said partition member around said vibration insulating unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
183 words
A vibration isolating device comprising: two bodies connected to separate members, an elastic member disposed between the two frame bodies to form a closed chamber, a partition member secured at its peripheral edge to one of the two frame bodies and dividing the closed chamber into two small chambers, at least one restricted passage arranged in the partition member to establish liquid communication of the two small chambers with each other, wherein the partition member is further provided with a vibration insulating unit comprising a pair of flexible diaphragms each made of rubber and having at least one opening, and a perforated rigid plate sandwiched therebetween; each of said flexible diaphragms secured at its peripheral portion to said rigid plate, said flexible diaphragms spaced apart at central portions thereof from said rigid plate and deformable to oscillate in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of said rigid plate during high frequency small amplitude vibrations to suppress the rise of dynamic spring rate; and said restricted passage is arranged in at least a portion of said partition member around said vibration insulating unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The device of claim 1, further comprising flange means and wherein each of said flexible diaphragms is secured at its peripheral portion to said flange means, and said flange means is in turn secured to said rigid plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The device of claim 2, wherein said flange means comprises upper and lower circumferential flanges, each of said flanges having an outer peripheral portion to which an edge of a diaphragm is bonded and a radially extending portion engaging said rigid plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device of claim 1 wherein one surface of each of said flexible diaphragms faces one of said small chambers.
