Abstract
An assembly is disclosed for mounting a vibrating body to a support structure, being particularly adapted for use as an engine mount system for a motor vehicle. The assembly comprises a mount having a chamber which, in use, is fluid-filled, and further comprises a vacuum accumulator in fluid communication with the mount chamber. More specifically, the mount comprises (a) a housing comprising a substantially rigid wall with a first opening therethrough and a first elasticly deformable body sealingly bonded to the wall to form a fluid-tight closure of such first opening, the housing defining an elasticly expandable fluid-tight chamber with a first port, such chamber being in fluid communication with the vacuum accumulator through such first port via a fluid conduit; (b) a rigid attachment of the housing wall to either the vibrating body or the support structure; and (c) an attachment of the mount to the other of the vibrating body and support structure, which attachment is to the elastomeric body. Each vacuum accumulator comprises a housing defining a fluid-tight vacuum chamber with a fluid port and a pressure regulation port. The fluid port is in fluid communication with the first p…
