Abstract
A vibration dampening device for a mount including a mount head and a base for mounting a handheld device on a bicycle. The vibration dampening device comprises a chassis and one or more vibration dampening grommets. The chassis comprises first and second interlocking pieces configured to be disposed between the mount head and the base moveable relative to each other. The chassis includes structure for limiting movement of the first and second interlocking pieces relative to each other.

A vibration dampening device for a mount including a mount head and a base for mounting a handheld device, the vibration dampening device comprising:
- a chassis comprising first and second interlocking pieces configured to be disposed between the mount head and the base, the first interlocking piece configured to engage the mount head and the second interlocking piece configured to engage the base, one of the first and second interlocking pieces including a plurality of brackets, and the other of the first and second interlocking pieces including a plurality of slots for receiving the brackets, the first and second interlocking pieces moveable relative to each other along the brackets, the chassis further comprising a stop for limiting movement of the first and second interlocking pieces relative to each other and a retention ring for limiting deflection of the brackets relative to the slots;
- and
- at least one vibration dampening grommet engaged with the first and second interlocking pieces to provide dampening of vibrations incurred by the mount.
A vibration dampening device comprising:
- a chassis comprising first and second interlocking pieces aligned along an axis, the first interlocking piece including a first plurality of arms extending radially away from the axis and a plurality of brackets extending parallel to the axis, the second interlocking piece including a second plurality of arms extending radially away from the axis, a plurality of slots, and a protrusion extending away from the first interlocking piece, the first and second interlocking pieces moveable relative to each other along the brackets;
- a plurality of vibration dampening grommets, each grommet engaged with a respective one of the first plurality of arms and a respective one of the second plurality of arms;
- and
- a retention ring,
- wherein the plurality of brackets extend through the plurality of slots to couple the first interlocking piece with the second interlocking piece,
- wherein a plurality of snap tabs is configured to provide a stop for limiting movement of the first interlocking piece away from the second interlocking piece, each snap tab disposed on a respective bracket for engaging the second interlocking piece,
- wherein the retention ring is engaged with the protrusion and configured to limit deflection of the brackets relative to the slots to block the snap tabs from passing through the slots in order to retain the first interlocking piece on the second interlocking piece, and
- wherein the plurality of vibration dampening grommets is configured to provide dampening of vibrations incurred by the first interlocking piece or second interlocking piece.
