Axial, lateral and torsional force dampener

A spring member for dampening axial forces comprising:

• an elastomeric ring biased in a resting position and elastically deformable to a compressed position;
• a first annular disc having a top surface and a hole in the center;
• second annular disc having a bottom surface and a hole in the center;
• an inner wall extending around an inner perimeter of the second annular disc;
• and
• an outer wall extending around an outer perimeter of the first annular disc;
• wherein the top surface of the first annular disc faces the bottom surface of the second annular disc and the inner wall of the second annular disc faces the outer wall of the first annular disc to align the holes of each annular disc and form a channel between the annular discs, and the elastomeric ring is disposed in the channel;
• wherein the spring member is movable between:
• a neutral position in which the first and second annular discs are spaced apart to define an outer annular gap between the outer wall and the elastomeric ring, and an inner annular gap between the top surface and the inner wall, such that the inner and outer walls do not contact the annular disc that they are facing;
• a compressed position in which the inner and outer walls abut the annular disc that they are facing;
• wherein movement from the neutral position to the compressed position causes the elastomeric ring to deform into the outer annular gap and to provide force dampening.
