Abstract

In an elastic partition member, a movable diaphragm outer circumferential section for supporting an outer circumference of an elastic movable diaphragm is formed integral with a relief valve. The elastic movable diaphragm is integrally formed with the elastic movable diaphragm. An upward circular arc projection that extends upwardly is provided on an upper part of the movable diaphragm outer circumferential section, and is fixed by a fixing portion provided in an upper member of a partition. A portion in the vicinity of a base portion of the relief valve is formed as a rectilinear unsupported portion that is flush with the elastic movable diaphragm. The base portion extends rectilinearly along the unsupported portion. When being opened, the relief valve is easily bent by the rectilinear base portion and is elastically deformable large enough to extend above the unsupported portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A liquid sealed vibration isolating device comprising:
a partition means for partitioning an internally provided liquid chamber into a primary liquid chamber and a secondary liquid chamber, the partition means being provided with an orifice which provides communication between the primary liquid chamber and the secondary liquid chamber;
an elastic partition member being provided in the partition means and including an elastic movable diaphragm for absorbing an internal pressure fluctuation of the primary liquid chamber, a movable diaphragm outer circumferential section surrounding a circumference of the elastic movable diaphragm and being supported in a portion of the partition means, and a relief valve integrally projecting outwardly from the movable diaphragm outer circumferential section; and
a leak passage being formed in the partition means to provide communication between the primary liquid chamber and the secondary liquid chamber and being opened and closed by the relief valve;
wherein the relief valve, when being opened, is bent from a base portion located on the movable diaphragm outer circumferential section and extends inwardly toward an upper surface on a primary liquid chamber side of the elastic movable diaphragm;
wherein the elastic partition member as a whole has a circular shape in a plan view and is partitioned by a straight line portion forming a chord in the outer circumferential circle into the elastic movable diaphragm, which is provided in a region located on a side of the straight line portion toward a center of the elastic partition member, and the relief valve, which is provided in substantially a crescent region located radially outwardly of the straight line portion,
wherein the movable diaphragm outer circumferential section on the upper surface side of the elastic partition member includes a supported portion, which is fixed by the fixing portion, and an unsupported portion, which is not fixed by the fixing portion and extends parallel to the straight line portion; and
wherein the unsupported portion is provided on an internal side of and in a vicinity of the base portion of the relief valve and a stopper of the relief valve is not provided in the vicinity of the base section so as to permit the relief valve to curve inward,
and the base portion extends parallel to the straight line portion and rectilinearly along the unsupported portion.

2. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein the supported portion is formed of a projecting portion which projects upwardly and is fixed by the fixing portion, and the unsupported portion is formed of a concave portion which is lower than the projecting portion.

3. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , wherein the unsupported portion is flush with an upper surface of the elastic movable diaphragm.

4. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 3 , wherein a valve length of the relief valve varies in such a way as to get longer with approach to a middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the relief valve.

5. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 4 , wherein the unsupported portion is of rectilinear shape.

6. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 3 , wherein the unsupported portion is of rectilinear shape.

7. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , wherein a valve length of the relief valve varies in such a way as to get longer with approach to a middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the relief valve.

8. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 7 , wherein the unsupported portion is of rectilinear shape.

9. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 2 , wherein the unsupported portion is of rectilinear shape.

10. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein a valve length of the relief valve varies so as to become longer as the valve extends toward a middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the relief valve.

11. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 10 , wherein the unsupported portion is of rectilinear shape.

12. The liquid sealed vibration isolating device according to claim 1 , wherein the unsupported portion is of rectilinear shape.
