A soundproof structure for vehicle use includes a vehicle body forming panel, a lower side sound absorbing foamed resin layer on the panel, a rigid sound insulating panel on the foamed resin layer, and a press means between the vehicle body forming panel and the sound insulating panel to urge the sound insulating panel toward the former panel, the press means acting to hold the lower side foamed resin layer in compressed state, and an upper side sound absorbing layer being further laminated on the sound insulating panel.
The present invention is a thermal and acoustical insulation wall panel assembly that incorporates a synthetic vinyl. This panel assembly reduces the amount of hazardous waste and the cost of manufacturing, shipping and installing the insulation. The panel is comprised of a plurality of superimposed layers. One layer is a rigid facing which is preferably corrugated for supporting the panel. Attached to this facing are, in sequential layers, a thermal-insulating batt, a mass-loaded vinyl sheet for acoustic-insulation, a second thermal-insulating batt, a heat-reflective backing, and a retainer. A plurality of connectors are used to hold the plurality of superimposed layers together.
A soundproofing cover absorbs noises, produced by a vehicle. It is fastened to a plurality of vehicle-side installation portions, and includes a cover body, composed of a polymer foamed substance, and a plurality of brackets, held integrally to the cover body. The respective brackets have an installation portion and a holding portion. The installation portion is to be fastened to the vehicle-side installation portions. The holding portion is held and fastened integrally to the cover body. At least two of the installation portions constitute a datum bracket, connected by one of the holding portions shared commonly. The positioning accuracy can be improved in the installation of the soundproofing cover to the vehicle-side installation portions so that the installation operability can be upgraded. In addition, the increment of the weight can be kept minimum so that the lightweighting requirement can be satisfied.
An acoustic barrier systems that reduces the amount of noise entering the passenger compartment of a vehicle includes a secondary acoustic attenuator that extends from a primary acoustic barrier to a vehicle component case to envelop space around a conduit passing from the engine compartment to the component case. In one embodiment, the secondary acoustic attenuator extends from the primary acoustic barrier to the component case, with the secondary acoustic attenuator enveloping space around the conduit between the vehicle component case and the primary acoustic barrier. In another embodiment, the secondary acoustic attenuator is hingedly connected to the primary acoustic barrier to allow the secondary acoustic attenuator to be pivoted, from an orientation that allows installation of the vehicle component case, to another orientation wherein the secondary acoustic attenuator engages the vehicle component case to envelop space around the conduit between the vehicle component case and the primary acoustic barrier.
A sound-proofing panel for the cladding of machine tools consists of a foam board (28) of a thickness of at least approximately 10 cm., over which is glued a tear-resistant plastic sheet (38). The connection to the frame (12, 14) of the machine is made by means of self-catching strip fastenings (27).
The present invention provides a vibration dampening laminate that is lightweight and has superior sound insulation and vibration dampening properties. The vibration dampening laminate comprises a constraining layer, a viscoelastic adhesive layer, a foam spacing layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer including a release layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer and release layer are contoured to fit a profile of the article being soundproofed and vibration dampened.
