Claim Text:
1. A hydraulic mount for coupling a first component and a second component in a vehicle, the mount comprising: a first elastomeric member defining a first portion of a first chamber; a second elastomeric member defining a second portion of the first chamber and a second chamber, wherein the second elastomeric member abuts with the first elastomeric member to define the first chamber, the first chamber and the second chamber retain fluid in a liquid seal manner; an inner tube assembly defining an opening for receiving a bolt, wherein the first elastomeric member and the second elastomeric member are bonded to an outer surface of the inner tube assembly; an inner ring fixedly coupled to the inner tube assembly at a position between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the second elastomeric member is bonded to an outer surface of the inner ring; and a track-decoupler assembly fixedly disposed within the inner ring and including a housing member, a decoupler cap, and a decoupler ring, the housing member defining a fluid-track in a serpentine manner along an outer surface of the housing member, the fluid-track extending between the first chamber and the second chamber for fluidly coupling the first chamber and the second chamber, the decoupler ring being housed within the housing member, the decoupler cap fixedly disposed within the housing member for retaining the decoupler ring, wherein the decoupler ring is arranged and freely moves between the decoupler cap and a bottom surface of the housing member, and the fluid flows between the first chamber and the second chamber by way of the fluid-track when the decoupler ring abuts with either the bottom surface of the housing member or the decoupler cap.
