Two-chamber engine mount with hydraulic damping

Claim 1

Two-chamber engine mount with hydraulic damping, comprising a housing, an intermediate plate disposed in said housing dividing said housing into an upper chamber above said intermediate plate and a lower chamber below said intermediate plate to be filled with fluid, said intermediate plate having a damping opening formed therein hydraulically interconnecting said chambers for preventing a hydraulic response upon the occurrence of high frequency and low amplitude vibrations, upper and lower rubbery elastic peripheral walls at least partially defining said upper and lower chambers, respectively, a motor support plate having a bottom surface directly adjacent and partially defining said upper chamber and a top surface opposite said bottom surface, said support plate including a membrane chamber centrally formed in said bottom surface and extending partially to said top surface, said membrane chamber being pressure-tightly closed off from the surroundings, and a rubbery membrane separating said membrane chamber from said upper chamber, said rubbery membrane having a progressive spring constant, and a solid central quenching mass enclosed by said rubbery membrane.
