Vibration mounting

A vibration mounting comprising a base member for mounting to a mounting location and a support member for supporting a load, the support member being spaced apart from the base member in a load-bearing direction by a vibration isolating element of a resilient material,

• wherein the vibration isolating element comprises a plurality of lobes, each lobe extending from the base member towards the support member and also extending in a lateral direction different from that of other lobes;
• wherein the support member comprises at least one buffer member extending towards the base member between adjacent lobes of the vibration isolating element such that the buffer member contacts a resilient material buffer secured to the base member when vibration displacements exceed a first predetermined amplitude in a first direction;
• and
• wherein the vibration mounting further comprises a secondary buffer for further increasing resistance to displacement beyond a second predetermined amplitude of vibration displacement in the first direction.

A vibration mounting comprising:

• a base member for mounting to a mounting location;
• a support member for supporting a load, the support member being spaced apart from the base member in a load-bearing direction by a vibration isolating element of a resilient material, the vibration isolating element comprising a plurality of lobes extending from the base member towards the support member;
• and
• buffer means comprising a first buffer for increasing resistance to displacement of the support member relative to the base member in the load-bearing direction beyond a positive displacement threshold and a second buffer for increasing resistance to a negative displacement beyond a negative displacement threshold.
