Abstract
A liquid-sealed anti-vibration device wherein an annular space is formed between an orifice member and a partition plate member, crimped and fixed downwardly of the orifice member to an anti-vibration device proper, of a partition; and a rubber-like elastic membrane is disposed in the space and has a base portion attached fixedly to the one of the orifice member and the partition plate member and an open terminal at a distal side, the open terminal being slidably in pressure contact with the other, thus constituting a cantilevered sliding membrane structure. Thereby it is possible to diminish the amplitude dependency, to reduce the dynamic spring constant in a wide spectrum of medium and high frequencies, and to lower the noise.
Claims1
A liquid-sealed anti-vibration device, comprising:
- a vibration-isolating base and a diaphragm forming a liquid chamber therebetween;
- and
- a partition dividing the liquid chamber into a main liquid chamber and a subsidiary liquid chamber, wherein:
- the partition includes an orifice member having an orifice channel at a peripheral lateral side, a partition plate member crimped and fixed beneath the orifice member to the anti-vibration device such that an outer peripheral part of an upper end of the orifice member contacts an outer peripheral end of the vibration-isolating base on a liquid chamber side thereof, and an elastic membrane disposed in a space formed between the orifice member and the partition plate member;
- the elastic membrane has a base portion attached fixedly to one of the orifice member and the partition plate member and an open terminal at a distal end, the open terminal being slidably in pressure contact with another one of the orifice member and the partition plate member;
- and
- the elastic membrane has an inner face formed with reinforcing ribs circumferentially formed at a plurality of positions.
