Abstract
Abstract A rubber vibration isolator is disclosed, which comprises a pair of upper and lower liquid chambers capable of changing volumes by elastic deformation of an annular rubber elastomer accompanied with longitudinal vibration, a restricted passage for communicating these chambers with each other, at least two liquid chambers formed in the outer periphery of the elastomer and capable of changing volumes accompanied with lateral vibration, and another restricted passage for communicating the latter chambers with each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A rubber vibration isolator comprising; a pair of upper and lower liquid chambers capable of changing volumes of elastic deformation of an annular rubber elastomer accompanied with longitudinal vibration, and a first restricted passage for establishing communication between said chambers, a circumferential sleeve at the outer periphery of said rubber elastomer, at least two liquid spaces capable of changing volumes accompanied with lateral vibration formed in the circumferential direction between said rubber elastomer and said circumferential sleeve, said liquid spaces formed in the circumferential direction between said rubber elastomer and said circumferential sleeve in fluid communication with each other through a second restricted passage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A rubber vibration isolator comprising; a pair of upper and lower liquid chambers capable of changing volumes of elastic deformation of an annular rubber elastomer accompanied with longitudinal vibration, and a first restricted passage for establishing communication between said chambers, a circumferential sleeve at the outer periphery of said rubber elastomer, at least two liquid spaces capable of changing volumes accompanied with lateral vibration formed in the circumferential direction between said rubber elastomer and said circumferential sleeve, said liquid spaces formed in the circumferential direction between said rubber elastomer and said circumferential sleeve in fluid communication with each other through a second restricted passage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A rubber vibration isolator as claimed in claim 1, wherein said liquid spaces are filled with an incompressible liquid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A rubber vibration isolator as claimed in claim 1, wherein said upper and lower chambers and two liquid spaces communicate with each other through additional restricted passages.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A rubber vibration isolator as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first restricted passage is axially aligned between said upper and lower liquid chambers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A rubber vibration isolator as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second restricted passage is an annular passage between said two liquid spaces.
