Adapter for an Isolation Mount Design

An isolation mount assembly comprising:

• a resilient member defining a central aperture that defines a load axis, the resilient member including a first end and a second end that are spaced from each other along the load axis;
• an adapter plate including inner attachment structure and outer mechanical attachment structure that is further away from the load axis than the inner attachment structure;
• and
• a flanged sleeve including a flange that is configured to contact the first end of the resilient member and a shaft that defines a central bore that defines a longitudinal axis;
• wherein the longitudinal axis of the sleeve is coincident with the load axis of the resilient member when the shaft of the flanged sleeve is disposed in the central aperture of the resilient member and the central bore of the shaft of the flanged sleeve includes internal threads.

A machine comprising:

• a first structural member;
• a second structural member;
• and
• an isolation mount assembly attached to the first and second structural members and disposed therebetween, the isolation mount assembly comprising:
• a resilient member defining a central aperture that defines a load axis, the resilient member including a first end and a second end that are diametrically opposite each other along the load axis;
• an adapter plate including inner attachment structure and outer attachment structure that is further away from the load axis than the inner attachment structure;
• and
• a flanged sleeve including a flange that is configured to contact the first end of the resilient member and a shaft that defines a central bore that defines a longitudinal axis;
• wherein the longitudinal axis of the sleeve is coincident with the load axis of the resilient member when the shaft of the flanged sleeve is disposed in the central aperture of the resilient member and the central bore of the shaft of the flanged sleeve includes internal threads.
