Abstract
An elastic seal member includes a watertight seal around the outside of a rubber cushion between the inner and outer cylinder portions and a cover member for covering the outer face of the elastic seal member with a space therebetween so that the elastic seal member is not exposed to water pressure during washing of a vehicle.
Claims17
An elastic mount assembly comprising:
- an outer cylinder portion;
- an inner cylinder portion disposed radially inwardly of said outer cylinder portion;
- an elastic cushion extending between an outer surface of the inner cylinder portion and an inner surface of the outer cylinder portion;
- an elastic seal member for providing a watertight seal between the inner and outer cylinder portions, said elastic seal member being integrally molded in an annular shape and including an outer circumferential bead portion lightly press-fitted against said outer cylinder portion, an inner circumferential bead portion lightly press-fitted against said inner cylinder portion, and a seal body disposed between said outer bead portion and said inner bead portion for providing a watertight seal;
- and
- a cover member for covering an outer face of said elastic seal member, with a space formed between said cover member and said elastic seal member including a first annular space adjacent to said elastic seal and a second annular space disposed adjacent to said inner cylinder portion and in direct communication with said first annular space, said cover member being fitted to the inner cylinder portion and clamped against an end of said outer cylinder portion, said cover member including a first brace and a second brace with a resilient vibration absorbing material disposed therebetween for providing a seal for preventing exposure of said elastic seal to water pressure.

An elastic mount assembly comprising:
- an outer cylinder portion;
- an inner cylinder portion disposed radially inwardly of said outer cylinder portion;
- an elastic cushion extending between an outer surface of the inner cylinder portion and an inner surface of the outer cylinder portion, said elastic cushion having a first end and a second end;
- an elastic seal member positioned adjacent to each of said first end and second end of said elastic cushion for providing a watertight seal between the elastic cushion and the inner and outer cylinder portions, said elastic seal member being integrally molded in an annular shape and including an outer circumferential bead portion lightly press-fitted against said outer cylinder portion, an inner circumferential bead portion lightly press-fitted against said inner cylinder portion, and a seal body disposed between said outer bead portion and said inner bead portion for providing a watertight seal;
- and
- a cover member for covering each of the elastic seal members, a space being formed between each of the cover members and the elastic seal members, each space including a first annular space adjacent to said elastic seal and a second annular space disposed adjacent to said inner cylinder portion and in direct communication with said first annular space, each of said cover members being fitted to the inner cylinder portion and clamped against an end of said outer cylinder portion, said cover members each including a first brace and a second brace with a resilient vibration absorbing material disposed therebetween for providing a seal for preventing exposure of said elastic seal members to water pressure.
