Abstract
Abstract An engine mount with hydraulic damping has a partition wall penetrated by a throttle port and the partition wall is located between a working chamber and a compensating chamber. The throttle port can have several channel-shaped individual ports of different lengths and/or different cross sections. The partition wall carries an absorption mass mounted by an elastic annular diaphragm which can be moved between the working chamber and the compensating chamber within an area of play limited by stops.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
An engine mount having hydraulic damping comprising: a bearing member, a bearing wall, and an annular bearing spring connecting said bearing member to said bearing wall, together defining a working chamber; means comprising a resilient buffer wall defining a compensating chamber; a partition wall disposed between said working chamber and said compensating chamber; a compensation part movable between said working chamber and said compensating chamber disposed radially within said partition wall, said compensating part comprising a circular inertial mass; an annular elastic diaphragm means connecting said compensating part to said partition wall; stop means for limiting the movement of said compensating part between said working chamber and said compensating chamber; and throttle port means for connecting said working chamber and said compensating chamber in fluid communication, with said throttle port means, said working chamber, and said compensating chamber filled with an incompressible fluid, said throttle port means comprising a common inlet connected to said working chamber, a plurality of channels connected at one of their ends to said common inlet and at another of their ends to a common outlet, said common outlet being connected to said compensation chamber, whereby said channels are arranged in parallel to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
199 words
An engine mount having hydraulic damping comprising: a bearing member, a bearing wall, and an annular bearing spring connecting said bearing member to said bearing wall, together defining a working chamber; means comprising a resilient buffer wall defining a compensating chamber; a partition wall disposed between said working chamber and said compensating chamber; a compensation part movable between said working chamber and said compensating chamber disposed radially within said partition wall, said compensating part comprising a circular inertial mass; an annular elastic diaphragm means connecting said compensating part to said partition wall; stop means for limiting the movement of said compensating part between said working chamber and said compensating chamber; and throttle port means for connecting said working chamber and said compensating chamber in fluid communication, with said throttle port means, said working chamber, and said compensating chamber filled with an incompressible fluid, said throttle port means comprising a common inlet connected to said working chamber, a plurality of channels connected at one of their ends to said common inlet and at another of their ends to a common outlet, said common outlet being connected to said compensation chamber, whereby said channels are arranged in parallel to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
An engine mount according to claim 1 wherein said circular inertial mass comprises at least one circular disc lying radially within an annular disc, said discs connected to each other by annular diaphragm means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
An engine mount according to claim 1 wherein each channel has a different cross-section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
An engine mount according to claim 1 further comprising a transverse port disposed intermediate said common inlet and common outlet connecting said channels together.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
An engine mount according to claim 4 wherein the ratio of the cross-section of the transverse port and the cross-section of each of the channels is between 1 and 3.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
An engine mount according to claim 1 wherein said partition wall has an outer portion rigidly connected to said bearing wall of said engine mount and said channels are located one above the other in said outer portion and said channels being separated from each other by a radially extending annular wall.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
An engine mount according to claim 1 wherein said channels have different lengths.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
13 words
An engine mount according to claim 4 wherein said channels have different lengths.
