Fluid filled vibration damping device

Abstract

A fluid filled vibration-damping device includes an elastic body disposed between a first mounting member and a second mounting member and partially defines a fluid chamber having a non-compressible fluid sealed therein, and exhibits vibration damping action on the basis of flow action of the non-compressible fluid created within the fluid chamber during vibration input. At least one mounting member from among the first and second mounting members is formed independently of the elastic body and is disposed in abutment with the elastic body in an initial load acting direction, while making the mounting member displaceable away from the rubber elastic body in a opposite direction from the initial load acting direction. A rebound stop mechanism for limiting displacement of the mounting member away from the rubber elastic body in a cushion-wise fashion is disposed between the first and second mounting members.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A fluid filled vibration damping device comprising: 
 a first mounting member;    a second mounting member;    a rubber elastic body disposed between the first and second mounting members; and    a fluid chamber whose wall is partially defined by the rubber elastic body, and having a non-compressible fluid sealed therein,    wherein initial load and vibration are caused to act on the rubber elastic body by means of the first and second mounting member, so as to produce vibration damping action on the basis of flow action of the non-compressible fluid created within the fluid chamber during vibration input, and    wherein at least one mounting member from among the first mounting member and the second mounting member is formed independently of the rubber elastic body and is disposed in abutment with the rubber elastic body in an initial load acting direction, while making the one mounting member displaceable away from the rubber elastic body in a opposite direction from the initial load acting direction, and a rebound stop mechanism for limiting an amount of displacement of one mounting member away from the rubber elastic body in a cushion-wise fashion is disposed between the first mounting member and the second mounting member.    
     
     
         2 . A fluid-filled vibration damping device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second mounting member is fixed to the rubber elastic body, and the first mounting member is formed independently of the rubber elastic body, while the rebound stop mechanism includes a rebound stop rubber being fixed to the first mounting member.  
     
     
         3 . A fluid-filled vibration damping device according to  claim 1 , wherein an abutting face of the rubber elastic body against the at least one mounting member is reinforced by a support plate embedded therein.
