Claim Text:
1. An engine mount for use with a vehicle that includes a vehicle power system, a vehicle frame, and a vehicle body, comprising: a first connection device configured to connect to the vehicle power system; a second connection device configured to connect to one of the vehicle frame and the vehicle body; a damper system located adjacent the first connection device and second connection device and configured to prevent transmission of at least one of vibration and motion between the first connection device and the second connection device; and a stopper mechanism located adjacent to one of the first connection device and second connection device and configured such that it provides an ultimate limit for one of axial and radial movement of the first connection device relative to the second connection device, the stopper mechanism including a first bladder device, wherein the first bladder device includes a hollow sealed elastomeric bladder formed from an elastic material that completely seals a hollow portion and a liquid contained within the hollow portion; wherein the hollow sealed elastomeric bladder has a first position prior to an input to the engine mount, or in response to the input where the input is less than or equal to a predetermined limit, such that the hollow sealed elastomeric bladder is completely spaced from one of the first connection device and the second connection device and the hollow sealed elastomeric bladder has a second position in response to the input to the engine mount, where the input exceeds the predetermined limit, such that the hollow sealed elastomeric bladder engages the one of the first connection device and the second connection device when the hollow sealed elastomeric bladder is in the second position, and the liquid limits maximum compression of the hollow sealed elastomeric bladder when the hollow sealed elastomeric bladder engages the one of the first connection device and the second connection device.
