Abstract
A hydraulic anti-vibration sleeve includes two coaxial rigid tubular membvers that are interconnected by an elastomer body (3) which co-operates therewith to form two diametrically opposite watertight pockets that intercommunicate via a narrow channel (Z), both pockets and the channel being filled with a liquid, the axial section of the portion of the body defining one of the pockets being U-shaped or V-shaped and open radially outwards, and being bonded to two rigid annular section members (8, 9) , with the axially central portion of the body forming two radial arms (6). The narrow channel (Z) comprises, in series: two lengths (10, 11) belonging to respective ones of the two annular section members (8, 9); and a connection (12) interconnecting the two lengths and axially disposed at the outside edge of one of the radial arms (6).
