Fastening Means Preventing The Transmission of Shocks and Vibrations

Abstract

In an apparatus for connecting a structural member (12) with a structural unit (2), an oscillation device (4) serves for absorbing impulses or vibrations. It is excited by impulses or vibrations around oscillations about a first point (7) which lies on or near a natural oscillation nodal point. The structural member (12) is rotatably supported in the first point relative to the oscillator. A damping device (30) has an effective component which lies in basic oscillation in the direction of motion of the first point, and serves for damping a basic oscillation. An optional additional classic dynamic vibration absorber is tuned to the basic oscillation of the oscillation device. The fields of application are extremely manifold and range from oscillation-absorbing and shock-absorbing supports (for hard disks, cameras, illuminants, mirrors, microphones, motors etc.) over grab handles of hand-operated vibrating devices to translatory shock absorption in vehicles on wheel suspension or seat holders, as well as to the rotatory shock absorption in the power train.
