Abstract
A mounting device with an anti-rotation feature is provided. The mounting device includes a base including a cavity adapted to receive a portion of a shock absorber assembly. The base provides for movement of the shock absorber assembly relative to a vehicle body in at least one degree of freedom. The base substantially prevents movement of the shock absorber assembly relative to the vehicle body in at least another degree of freedom. The mounting device includes a pin integrated with the base on a side distal from the cavity. The pin is substantially parallel to an axis of the shock absorber assembly. The pin is adapted to engagingly couple to one or more cushions and a vehicle frame.
Claims8
A mounting device, comprising:
- a base comprising a cavity adapted to receive a portion of a shock absorber assembly, wherein the base provides for movement of the shock absorber assembly relative to a vehicle body in at least one degree of freedom and substantially prevents movement of the shock absorber assembly relative to the vehicle body in at least another degree of freedom;
- and
- a pin integrated with the base on a side distal from the cavity, wherein the pin is substantially parallel to an axis of the shock absorber assembly, wherein the pin is adapted to engagingly couple to one or more cushions and a vehicle frame, and
- wherein the base comprises a shape memory material, such that deformation of the base provides for movement of the shock absorber assembly in the at least one degree of freedom.
A mounting device, comprising:
- a base, comprising a cavity adapted to receive a portion of a rotatable member, wherein the base provides for movement of the rotatable member relative to a vehicle body in at least one degree of freedom and substantially prevents movement of the rotatable member relative to the vehicle body in at least another degree of freedom, wherein the base comprises a shape memory material, such that deformation of the base provides for movement of the rotatable member in the at least one degree of freedom;
- and
- a pin integrated with the base on a side distal from the cavity, wherein the pin is substantially parallel to an axis of the rotatable member, wherein the pin is adapted to engagingly couple to one or more cushions and a vehicle frame by passing through the one or more cushions, and wherein the one or more cushions encircles or surrounds the pin.
A mounting device, comprising:
- a base, comprising a cavity adapted to receive a portion of a rotatable member, wherein the base provides for movement of the rotatable member relative to a vehicle body in at least one degree of freedom and substantially prevents movement of the rotatable member relative to the vehicle body in at least another degree of freedom;
- and
- a pin integrated with the base on a side distal from the cavity, wherein the pin is substantially parallel to an axis of the rotatable member, wherein the pin is adapted to engagingly couple to one or more cushions and a vehicle frame by passing through the one or more cushions, and wherein the one or more cushions encircles or surrounds the pin, wherein the at least one degree of freedom comprises a first set of directions substantially orthogonal to the axis of the rotatable member.
