Abstract
A damping system includes a support structure having an attachment portion and a damping node mounting portion. A damping node is attached to the damping node mounting portion. The support structure is secured to an impact receiving surface via the attachment portion. The damping node is configured to mitigate an impact force received upon the impact receiving surface.
Claims20
A damping system, comprising:
- a support structure comprising an attachment portion and a damping node mounting portion;
- and
- a damping node integrally formed with the damping node mounting portion, the damping node consisting of a resilient member;
- wherein:
- the support structure is secured to an impact receiving surface via the attachment portion;
- the damping node rests directly on the impact receiving surface;
- and
- the damping node is configured to mitigate an impact force received upon the impact receiving surface.
