1. A liquid sealing type vibration control device comprising:
a first attachment fitting;
a second attachment fitting;
a vibration isolating base body made of rubber-like elastic material interconnecting these;
a diaphragm attached to the second attachment fitting to form a liquid sealing chamber between the vibration isolating base
body and itself;
a partition body comparting the liquid sealing chamber into a first liquid chamber on a side of the vibration isolating base
body and a second liquid chamber on a side of the diaphragm; and
an orifice putting the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber into communication with each other,
the partition body including an elastic partition membrane and a pair of lattice members regulating a displacement amount
of the elastic partition membrane from both sides thereof,
wherein the elastic partition membrane is provided, on both faces thereof, with respective rib groups in a projecting manner;
the rib groups each consist of a plurality of first ribs and a plurality of second ribs mingled with one another;
the first ribs are arranged on a surface of the elastic partition membrane so as to be capable of surrounding lattice holes
every lattice hole or a plurality of lattice holes and the second ribs are arranged on the surface of the elastic partition
membrane in a distributed fashion;
the first ribs are set in such a height dimension that top parts of them can be situated apart from the lattice members; and
the second ribs are set in such a height dimension that top parts of them abut on the lattice members and are set in a smaller
rib width than the first ribs.
