Hydraulic damper bearing

An hydraulic damper comprising:

• a first anchoring unit;
• a second anchoring unit having a housing;
• a spring component connecting the first anchoring unit and the second anchoring unit;
• an operating chamber in fluid communication with the spring component;
• a displacing element in fluid communication with the operating chamber, the displacing element having a first contact section and a second contact section and a second contact section which is flexible, the displacing element movable between a first position and a second position;
• and
• an equalizing chamber in fluid communication with the operating chamber through a damping duct, wherein the damping duct has a first section and a second section, the first section being formed in a support situated between the equalizing chamber and the operating chamber, and the second section being at least partially formed by the first contact section and the second contact section of the displacing element.

A method of damping movement with an hydraulic damper comprising:

• (a) storing fluid in an operating chamber and an equalizing chamber of the hydraulic damper, the operating chamber and the equalizing chamber in fluid communication with one another via a damping duct;
• (b) lengthening the length of the damping duct by sealably engaging a displacing element located within the operating chamber with a support unit;
• and
• (c) releasing fluid from the damping duct when the pressure on the fluid exceeds a predetermined pressure.

A hydraulically damping bearing comprising:

• a first anchoring part;
• a second anchoring part that is moveable relative to the first anchoring part;
• a spring element acting between the first and the second anchoring parts;
• a operating chamber filled with damping fluid;
• a equalizing chamber separate from the operating chamber and in fluid communication with the operating chamber via a damping channel delimited by a channel wall, the volume of the operating chamber being changed in response to the relative motion of the first and second anchoring parts so that damping fluid is moved in the damping channel between the equalizing chamber and the operating chamber;
• a partition which is acted upon by damping fluid and that separates the operating chamber from the equalizing chamber, and is supported at a supporting body;
• a displacer having first and second contact regions, the displacer being mounted to the first anchoring part and which extends into the operating chamber, and is moveable, together with the first anchoring part relative to the second anchoring part, wherein the damping channel has a first and a second channel segment extending in the circumferential direction, the first segment of the damping channel being formed in the supporting body, and the channel wall of the second segment of the damping channel being at least partially formed by the first and second contact regions of the displacer.
