Abstract
Vibration damping annular elastomeric members are mounted between outer spherical bearing members and elements which are attached to inner spherical bearing members to prevent vibrations between the elements and the outer bearing members. The elastomeric members extend outwardly beyond the connection between the inner bearing member and the elements so that the elastomeric members are compressed as the elements are connected to the inner bearing member.
Claims14
Bearing apparatus having an inner member with an outer bearing surface, an outer bearing member having an inner bearing surface juxtaposed to the outer bearing surface of the inner member, and an elastomeric member secured with respect to the outer member and wherein the outer member is annular and radially surrounds the inner member, and wherein the elastomeric member is positioned around the outer member.
Bearing apparatus having an inner member with an outer bearing surface, an annular outer bearing member having an inner bearing surface radially surrounding and juxtaposed to the outer bearing surface of the inner member, and an elastomeric member secured with respect to the outer member and extending around axially outwardly beyond the inner and outer bearing members.
