VIBRATION PROOFING DEVICE
A vibration proofing device (10) includes an insulator (50) interposed between a first attaching member (30) and a second attaching member (40), and is disposed in an internal space (95) of a second bracket (90). The first attaching member (30) is formed to have two side walls (33, 33) parallel to each other to face the inner face of the second bracket (90). The second attaching member (40) is a tubular member having an opening (41a) passing therethrough in an upper-lower direction. At least one of side edge portions of each side wall (33) is disposed outside the opening (41a) of the second attaching member (40). Each side wall (33) is provided on an outer face thereof with a stopper (51) made of an elastic material. With this configuration, it is possible to sufficiently absorb an impact shock resulting from the stopper (51) hitting the second bracket (90).
Flow suppression device
A flow suppression device adapted to be connected to a high pressure fluid system includes an outer flow containment member of a porous and flexible construction. The outer flow containment member has an upstream end and a downstream end opposite the upstream end. The upstream end includes an inlet opening adapted to receive a flow stream of pressurized fluid from the high pressure fluid system and the downstream end being substantially closed. The flow suppression device also includes a primary inner flow containment member of a porous and flexible construction contained within the outer flow containment member. The primary inner flow containment member has an upstream end with an inlet opening adjacent the inlet opening of the outer flow containment member and a downstream end opposite the upstream end of the primary inner flow containment member.

Vibration damping device
A vibration damping device including a vibration-damping device main unit attached to a bracket from a lateral side by a second attachment member being fitted to opposed walls provided on widthwise opposite sides of the bracket. The bracket includes flexible latches extending from the respective opposed walls forward in a direction of attachment. The second attachment member includes outer recesses respectively opening onto surfaces overlapped with the respective opposed walls. Each latch has a slope portion sloping inward in a width direction of the bracket such that a distal end face of the latch is inserted in the corresponding outer recess. The distal end face of the latch is latched by a forward wall inner face of the outer recess, and displacement of the second attachment member relative to the bracket in a direction of dislodgment opposite to the direction of attachment is limited.
ANTI-VIBRATION DEVICE AND DAMPER DEVICE
Provided is an anti-vibration device which is provided between a vibration-side bracket attached to a vibration member and a non-vibration-side bracket attached to a non-vibration member, the anti-vibration device including: a first attachment member attached to the vibration-side bracket; a second attachment member attached to the non-vibration-side bracket; and an insulator provided between the first attachment member and the second attachment member, wherein the first attachment member includes a stopper portion which faces an engagement portion formed on the non-vibration-side bracket, and the insulator includes a cover portion which covers at least a surface of the stopper portion facing the engagement portion.

Hydraulically damping mount
A hydraulically damping mount for mounting a motor vehicle unit on a motor vehicle body includes a support and a support mount which are interconnected by a support spring made of an elastomeric material. In embodiments, a support spring limits a working chamber which is separated from a compensating chamber by a separating device, wherein the working chamber and the compensating chamber may be filled with a fluid and may be connected to one another via a damping channel included in the separating device, wherein the separating device may include two nozzle discs between which a first membrane and a second membrane are arranged, and wherein one of the membranes has at least one through-hole.
Fluid-actuated impact protection system and method
The subject disclosure describes, among other things, illustrative embodiments of an impact protection device that comprises the following elements: a machine, a protective structural member, and a fluid holding member. The impact protection device is designed to protect a user from an impact to the protective structural member by dissipating a portion of the kinetic energy of the impact. Machine operation translates into a controlled movement between elements of the impact protection device that deform the fluid holding member, thereby displacing a fluid. This controlled movement also dictates a throttling profile that regulates the amount of damping; thereby managing the portion of kinetic energy dissipated. The machine can be a mechanical assembly incorporating levers, cams and or computerized controllers.
Fluid-filled vibration damping device
A fluid-filled vibration damping device including: primary and auxiliary liquid chambers; a partition provided between the two chambers; and a movable plate supported movably in a plate thickness direction thereof by the partition. The movable plate receives liquid pressure of the two chambers on its opposite faces so as to constitute a liquid pressure absorber. The partition includes at least one communication hole opening onto its surface facing the movable plate. The movable plate includes at least one elastic protrusion projecting toward the communication hole. The elastic protrusion includes a peripheral wall to be pressed in compression and shear directions and be elastically deformed to a radially inner side of the communication hole as well by coming into contact with a wall portion of the communication hole due to movement of the movable plate in the plate thickness direction.
