A hydraulic antivibration device capable of sufficiently reducing strange sounds is provided. The one in a first embodiment includes first ribs whose tops are spaced apart from lattice members and second ribs having tops abutting on the lattice members and a smaller rib width than the first ribs. When an elastic partition membrane impinges on the lattice members with vibration, the second ribs resist and the elastic partition membrane impinges moderately on the lattice members, so that strange sounds can be reduced. In a second embodiment, such first and second displacement-regulating protrusions are provided that are disposed asymmetrically relative to a phantom plane passing through a center of the elastic partition membrane in its thickness direction. When the elastic partition membrane is displaced, the displacement-regulating protrusions on the opposite side to the displacement direction intensify the stiffness of it locally, so that the elastic partition membrane is difficult to displace, leading to an effective reduction of strange sounds.

Liquid-sealed vibration control equipment and elastic partition film for use therein

In an anti-vibration device having a partition member dividing a fluid-sealed chamber into upside and downside, aimed at enhancing the anti-vibration performance by preventing unwanted leak of the fluid through through-holes of the partition member. To that end, the partition member is constructed of an elastic membrane partitioning the fluid-sealed chamber, and a pair of grids limiting displacements of the elastic membrane; and the elastic membrane is provided at its either surface with projecting streaks integral therewith, the projecting streaks surrounding through-holes, defined by the grids, over their whole peripheries and abutting on the grids, thereby regulating the flow of fluid among adjacent through-holes.

Fluid-sealed anti-vibration device

The present invention is to provide a liquid-filled type vibration isolator with the reduced number of parts and good productivity. The vibration insulator comprises an inner cylinder, a first ring approximately L-shaped in cross section, a second ring, an orifice ring approximately U-shaped in cross section and arranged between the first ring and the second ring, and an elastic member of rubber material integrally combined with an outer periphery surface of the inner cylinder and inner periphery surfaces of the first ring, the orifice ring, and the second ring. The elastic member is provided with a first groove and a second groove, an outer cylinder is combined with the first ring and the second ring on the outside of them, the outer cylinder and the first groove form a first liquid chamber, the outer cylinder and the second groove form a second liquid chamber, the outer cylinder and the orifice ring further form an orifice path making the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber communicate with each other, and the first liquid chamber, the second liquid chamber and the orifice path are filled with liquid.
