Abstract
The invention provides an improved vibration isolator for use, for example, in an automotive engine mounting. The vibration isolator has a hollow outer cylinder and an inner cylinder disposed in and parallel to the outer cylinder. One of the two cylinders is to be connected with a member that vibrates and the other with another member to be isolated from vibration. An elastic body tightly interposed between the outer and inner cylinders is formed with a hollow so that tensile force may not act on this body. Opposite to the hollow with respect to the inner cylinder the elastic body is formed with radially inner and outer liquid chambers which are connected to each other by a flow restrictive passage. An elastic membrane is attached to the inner surface of the outer cylinder, and a part of the membrane serves as a flexible diaphragm defining the radially outer periphery of the outer liquid chamber. In a region where the elastic membrane is used as the diaphragm, the cylindrical wall of the outer cylinder is formed with an opening to expose the diaphragm to the atmosphere. This vibration isolator can be easily and accurately assembled in the liquid to be filled into the liquid chambers without the need for any extra operation for extracting unneeded liquid from any other space or chamber in the assembled device.
