Hydraulic support

Claim 1

A hydraulic support for supporting and damping a motor vehicle engine comprising: (a) a metallic ring with an end face; (b) a cover closing said ring at its end face, said cover having a first abutment extending therefrom; (c) a rubber-elastic hollow body having an upper end adhesively connected along its circumference to said metallic ring and having a lower end formed as an integral cup shaped portion; (d) an internal nozzle system dividing said hollow body into first and second chambers, said cup shaped portion being said second chamber, said chambers connected to each other by said nozzle system, and the wall of said body dished inwardly from the upper end of said body toward said nozzle system in the area of said first chamber to form an generally conical inner surface; (e) a second abutment in the form of a generally cylindrical member having a conically tapered upper end embedded in part of the wall of said rubber-elastic hollow body defining said first chamber, extending above and surrounding said nozzle system and surrounding said cup shaped portion with a spacing so as to define an empty annular space between said cylindrical member and said cup shaped portion, a mounting flange formed at the lower end of said cylindrical member; (f) a closure cup closing off the lower end of said cylindrical member; and (g) a circular reinforcement of the material of the hollow body over the end of said embedded cylindrical member, in said first chamber, forming a stop for the cover for maximum spring excursion.
