Abstract
Abstract A vibration isolating device is disclosed, which comprises a main vibration-absorbing body provided with a hollow chamber containing a vibration-damping liquid, and plural partition members each provided with a restricted passage to divide the hollow chamber into at least three small liquid chambers. In this device, one of the partition members is provided with a restricted passage having a sectional area larger than that of the restricted passage formed in the other remaining partition members.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A vibration isolating device comprising; two frame bodies for joining to a vibration source side on one hand and a vibrating side on the other hand, a vibration-absorbing body interposed between said two frame bodies and composed of an elastomeric material, a hollow chamber mainly defined by an inner wall face of said vibration-absorbing body and containing a vibration-damping liquid therein, and first and second partition members dividing said hollow chamber into first, second and third liquid chambers; said first liquid chamber being defined by wall faces including at least vibration-absorbing body and first partition member; said second liquid chamber being defined by all faces including at least first and second partition members; each of said two partition members being provided with a restricted passage establishing communication between the adjacent liquid chambers; said restricted passage in said first partition member having a sectional area larger than that in said second partition member; and said second liquid chamber being provided with a pressure-reducing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
163 words
A vibration isolating device comprising; two frame bodies for joining to a vibration source side on one hand and a vibrating side on the other hand, a vibration-absorbing body interposed between said two frame bodies and composed of an elastomeric material, a hollow chamber mainly defined by an inner wall face of said vibration-absorbing body and containing a vibration-damping liquid therein, and first and second partition members dividing said hollow chamber into first, second and third liquid chambers; said first liquid chamber being defined by wall faces including at least vibration-absorbing body and first partition member; said second liquid chamber being defined by all faces including at least first and second partition members; each of said two partition members being provided with a restricted passage establishing communication between the adjacent liquid chambers; said restricted passage in said first partition member having a sectional area larger than that in said second partition member; and said second liquid chamber being provided with a pressure-reducing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
The vibration isolating device according to claim 1, wherein one of the partition members being and provided with a first restricted passage having a sufficiently large diameter to prevent a choked condition, and the other partition member being provided with a second restricted passage having a small diameter and a long axial length as compared with said first restricted passage.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
The vibration isolating device according to claim 1, wherein said first restricted passage satisfies the following relationships: D/D.sub.0 ≧1/3, and L/D.sup.2 ≦1/3, in which D is a diameter of said first restricted passage, L is a length of said first restricted passage and D 0 is an effective diameter of a liquid chamber located above said first restricted passage.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The vibration isolating device according to claim 1, wherein said pressure-reducing means comprises a movable second partition member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The vibration isolating device according to claim 1, wherein said pressure-reducing means comprises, a portion of said wall face comprising an elastomeric material.
