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:
- a first interlocking piece configured to engage the mount head, the first interlocking piece including a projection defining a first central hole and a plurality of brackets circumferentially spaced around the projection;
- and
- a second interlocking piece configured to engage the base, the second interlocking piece including a second central hole aligned with the first central hole along an axis and a plurality of slots arranged circumferentially around the second central hole for receiving the brackets;
- and
- a plurality of vibration dampening grommets engaged with the first and second interlocking pieces to provide dampening of vibrations incurred by the mount,
- wherein the first and second interlocking pieces are moveable relative to each other along the brackets,
- wherein the projection and the plurality of brackets extend toward the second interlocking piece,
- wherein the plurality of brackets extend through the plurality of slots to couple the first interlocking piece with the second interlocking piece, and
- wherein the brackets are configured to engage with the second interlocking piece to limit movement of the first interlocking piece away from the second interlocking piece,
- wherein each of the slots is arcuate.
