Abstract
Abstract A hydraulically damped engine mount comprising a working space bounded by a mounting bracket, a supporting spring and a partition wall, and an equalizing space bounded by the partition wall and by a resilient buffer wall, which are interconnected through a throttle opening and are filled with a liquid, as well as a gas-filled chamber which is disposed within the partition wall and is closed relative to the working space by a circular first disk suspended from an elastic annular diaphragm, the gas-filled chamber being further closed relative to the equalizing space by a second disk suspended from an annular diaphragm, and the first and second disks being formed by first and second neutralizing masses.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A hydraulically damped engine mount comprising: a mounting bracket; a supporting spring and a partition wall bounding a working space; a resilient buffer wall, the resilient buffer wall and the partition wall bounding an equalizing space, the working space and the equalizing space being interconnected through a throttle opening; a liquid filling the working space and the equalizing space; a gas-filled chamber which is disposed within the partition wall; a first disk suspended from the partition wall, said first disk comprising at least two successive, radially interposed neutralizing masses and annular diaphragms for elastically securing said neutralizing masses to each other and to the partition wall; a second disk, said second disk comprising at least one neutralizing mass suspended by bound annular diaphragms, said first and second disks and said partition wall forming said chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A hydraulically damped engine mount comprising: a mounting bracket; a supporting spring and a partition wall bounding a working space; a resilient buffer wall, the resilient buffer wall and the partition wall bounding an equalizing space, the working space and the equalizing space being interconnected through a throttle opening; a liquid filling the working space and the equalizing space; a gas-filled chamber which is disposed within the partition wall; a first disk suspended from the partition wall, said first disk comprising at least two successive, radially interposed neutralizing masses and annular diaphragms for elastically securing said neutralizing masses to each other and to the partition wall; a second disk, said second disk comprising at least one neutralizing mass suspended by bound annular diaphragms, said first and second disks and said partition wall forming said chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The engine mount of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first or second disks is a chain vibrator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The engine mount of claim 2, wherein each chain vibrator comprises at least two successive, radially interposed neutralizing masses that are elastically secured to each other by means of annular diaphragms in each respective disk.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The engine mount of claim 1, wherein at least one of said annular diaphragms is provided on its opposed sides with axial annular projections which are in mirror-image relationship with each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
The engine mount of claim 4, wherein the axial annular projections have radial boundary surfaces which are associated with and spaced from abutment surfaces of additional annular projections which have a mirror-image relationship with each other and with said annular projections.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The engine mount of claim 2, wherein at least one of said annular diaphragms is provided on its opposed sides with axial annular projections which are in mirror-image relationship with each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
The engine mount of claim 6, wherein the axial annular projections have radial boundary surfaces which are associated with and spaced from abutment surfaces of additional annular projections which have a mirror-image relationship with each other and with said annular projections.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
An engine mount according to claim 1, in which the neutralizing masses have a combined weight of from 10 to 200 grams.
