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: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A rubber vibration isolator comprising: an inner sleeve, an annular rubber elastomer, an annular metal ring body and a metal outer sleeve; said annular rubber elastomer being inserted between said inner sleeve and said annular ring body and integrally bonded to both said inner sleeve and said annular ring body, said rubber elastomer provided at its outer circumference with plural recesses separated from each other by said rubber elastomer, and said annular ring body being fitted into said outer sleeve so as to form a metal contact therebetween and being provided with plural holes corresponding to said recesses and with fine grooves formed in the outer periphery thereof by cutting to define restricted passages together with the inner surface of said outer sleeve establishing communication between said holes and between said recesses, and said recesses, holes and fine grooves being filled with an incompressible liquid.
