Patent ID: 8191875

Claim:
A hydraulic engine mount assembly comprising: a support bracket comprising: first, second, and third surfaces; and, a first passageway with first and second spaced openings respectively communicating the first surface to the second surface; an elastomeric body attached to the support bracket including a first open portion extending between first and second circumferentially spaced edges that defines with the first surface of the support bracket a first fluid chamber and also including a second open portion extending between first and second circumferentially spaced edges that defines with the second surface of the support bracket a second fluid chamber, wherein the first edge of the first open portion is positioned between and the first edge of the second open portion and the second edge of the first portion about a circumference of the elastomeric body and wherein the first and second openings of the first passageway are respectively positioned directly adjacent to the first edge of the first open portion and the first edge of the second open portion; a fluid that is movable within the first passageway between the first and second fluid chambers to provide the hydraulic engine mount assembly with vibration damping characteristics; a first connection device for connecting the hydraulic engine mount assembly to a first connection surface; and, a second connection device for connecting the hydraulic engine mount assembly to a second connection surface, one of the first connection device and the second connection device being attached to the third surface of the support bracket.
