Abstract

The invention provides an elastically yieldable unit which can be manufactured in mass production and ensures a good filtering of vibrations both of high frequency and low amplitude and of low frequency and high amplitude. Such a unit comprises two chambers filled with liquid. These chambers are defined at least partly by elastically yieldable walls and are separated by a rigid partition wall and a movable wall carried by the partition wall. Further, the rigid partition wall defines a conduit of great length and small section which puts the two chambers in communication with each other.
