## Abstract

An isolation mount connecting a panel to a structure includes a housing disposable on the structure, a fastener receiver with a panel-facing surface, and a damper connecting the housing to the fastener receiver. The panel-facing surface of the fastener receiver defines a static coefficient of friction between the panel-facing surface and the panel discouraging rotation of panel-facing surface around a longitudinal axis.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An isolation mount connecting a panel to a structure, comprising:
a housing disposable on the structure;
a fastener receiver comprising a panel-facing surface; and
a damper connecting the housing to the fastener receiver;
the panel-facing surface of the fastener receiver defining a static coefficient of friction between the panel-facing surface and the panel discouraging rotation of panel-facing surface around a longitudinal axis, wherein a layer of material disposed on the fastener receiver defines the panel-facing surface, and wherein the static coefficient of friction between the panel-facing surface and the panel is greater than or equal to 1.5.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The isolation mount of claim 1, wherein the layer of material comprises at least one of an elastomeric material, rubber, a tacky material, and a releasable adhesive.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The isolation mount of claim 1, wherein the panel-facing surface comprises one of a knurled, grinded, or serrated surface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The isolation mount of claim 1, wherein the fastener receiver comprises:
a body; and
a plate in fixed relationship with the body, wherein the plate defines the panel-facing surface.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The isolation mount of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises:
a damper case enclosing the damper; and
a base connected to the damper case,
wherein the base is connectable to the structure.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The isolation mount of claim 5, wherein the base is connectable to the structure by at least one structure fastener.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The isolation mount of claim 1, wherein the fastener receiver comprises:
a body;
a flange disposed at one end of the body, interior to the housing; and
a receiver opening in the body for receiving a panel fastener therein, permitting the fastener receiver to be connected to the panel.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The isolation mount of claim 1, wherein the damper comprises an elastomeric material.

### Claim 9

A vehicle, comprising:
a structure;
a panel; and
a plurality of isolation mounts connecting the panel to the structure, wherein each isolation mount comprises:
a housing disposed on the structure;
a fastener receiver comprising a panel-facing surface; and
a damper connecting the housing to the fastener receiver;
the panel-facing surface of the fastener receiver defining a static coefficient of friction between the panel-facing surface and the panel discouraging rotation of the panel-facing surface around a longitudinal axis, wherein a layer of material disposed on the fastener receiver defines the panel-facing surface, and wherein the static coefficient of friction between the panel-facing surface and the panel is greater than or equal to 1.5.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the layer of material comprises at least one of an elastomeric material, rubber, a tacky material, and a releasable adhesive.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the panel-facing surface comprises one of a knurled, grinded, or serrated surface.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the structure comprises part of an aircraft fuselage and the panel forms part of an aircraft interior cabin.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the fastener receiver comprises:
a body; and
a plate in fixed relationship with the body, wherein the plate defines the panel-facing surface.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the housing comprises:
a damper case enclosing the damper; and
a base connected to the damper case,
wherein the base connects to the structure.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the fastener receiver comprises:
a body;
a flange disposed at one end of the body, interior to the housing; and
a receiver opening in the body for receiving a panel fastener therein, permitting the fastener receiver to be connected to the panel.

### Claim 16 (depends on 9)

The vehicle of claim 9, wherein the damper comprises an elastomeric material.
