Title: Laminated soundproof cover
Inventor: MORI TADASHI
IPC: F02B77/13
Filed: 2010-09-17
Abstract: A soundproof cover (eg for automobile engines, transmissions, driving systems, motors, compressors or generators) contains a sound-absorbing material 4, eg a porous material, disposed facing to a sound source; a soft sound-insulating layer 5 laminated on the sound-absorbing material and having an air permeability measured according to JIS L 1018 (1999) of 10 cc/cm2sec or less (preferably non-air permeable); and a soft cover 6 forming an air layer 8 with the soft sound-insulating laver 5 and having a Young's modulus measured according to JIS K 7127 (1999) of 0.2 to 1.5 GPa. The air layer 8 is hermetically sealed to prevent sound leaking from the air layer, eg by means of a sealing material 7 which connects the edges of the soft sound-insulating layer 5 and the soft cover 6 or by directly connecting those edges by hot-pressing (10, fig.3). The air layer 8 may be filled with air-permeable material 9. The cover is lightweight, eg 1000 to 15000g/m2, since the soft cover replaces the conventional rigid cover. Many examples of suitable materials are disclosed.
