A fluid-filled cylindrical elastic mount, comprising:
- an inner sleeve;
- an outer sleeve disposed radially outwardly of said inner sleeve with a predetermined radial spacing therebetween;
- an elastic body interposed between said inner and outer sleeves for elastic connection therebetween, said elastic body having a pocket formed over the entire circumference thereof, which provides an annular fluid chamber filled with a non-compressible fluid and extending between said inner and outer sleeves in a circumferential direction of the mount, said pocket being open on an outer circumferential surface of said elastic body;
- an annular partition member supported by said outer sleeve and protruding radially inwards from the outer sleeve so as to divide said annular fluid chamber into two sections on axially opposite sides of said partition member, said partition member having an inner circumferential surface which cooperates with an inner wall surface of said fluid chamber to define therebetween an annular restricted flow passage that communicates with said two sections of said fluid chamber, said partition member consisting of a pair of semi-circular blocks;
- and
- an intermediate sleeve fixedly fitted on said outer circumferential surface of said elastic body, said intermediate sleeve having a pair of windows which are opposed to each other in a first diametrical direction of the mount, each of said windows extending over less than half of the circumference of the intermediate sleeve, said pocket of said elastic body being open on an outer surface of said intermediate sleeve through said windows at first diametrically opposite portions thereof which are opposed to each other in said first diametrical direction, said pocket being closed by said intermediate sleeve at second diametrically opposite portions thereof which are opposed to each other in a second diametrical direction perpendicular to said first diametrical direction and which are located between corresponding circumferential ends of said windows, said pair of semi-circular blocks of said partition member being received in said pocket such that circumferentially opposite end faces of one of said pair of blocks abut on corresponding circumferential end faces the other block, and such that circumferentially end portions of said blocks are fixedly supported by said intermediate sleeve at said second diametrically opposite portions of said pocket, said outer sleeve being fitted on said intermediate sleeve so that said pocket is fluid-tightly closed by the outer sleeve, so as to form said annular fluid cheer, said pair of semi-circular blocks being supported at outer circumferential surfaces thereof by said outer sleeve to thus form said annular partition member.
