Quiet fluid filled vibration isolator

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure A fluid filled vibration isolator of the type having upper and lower chambers separated by a partition having an inertia track passageway and a decoupler assembly permitting fluid to bypass the inertia track passageway at certain amplitudes. The decoupler assembly includes a mass of particulate matter loosely contained within a screened cavity in the partition. The particulate matter has a predetermined density and interstitial volume and occupies less than the entire cavity when at rest therein. At low amplitudes of vibration, the particulate matter oscillates in a dispersed condition as the fluid oscillates through the screened cavity essentially bypassing the …
