Shock isolating mount

A shock isolating mount for securing a mounting part of a heavy structure a support, comprising:

• a spacer including a flange and tube, said spacer tube projecting from said spacer flange and through apertures in mating elastically resilient bodies and said mounting part disposed between said bodies;
• said spacer tube being formed at a portion of its axial end opposite said spacer flange into a hexagon shape;
• and the internal radius of said tube having a plurality of inward protrusions;
• a thimble including a flange and tube, said thimble tube projecting from said thimble flange and being formed for a portion of its axial end adjacent said thimble flange into a hexagon shape, said thimble tube being receivable within said spacer tube;
• said thimble tube portion adjacent said thimble tube hexagonal portion being into formed a cylinder, said thimble tube cylinder portion being enlarged at its axial end opposite said thimble flange, said enlarged end being engaged by said plurality of inward protrusions when said thimble tube is received in said spacer tube;
• said thimble tube being internally threaded;
• and
• a threaded fastener inserted through an opening in said support and projecting coaxially and centered within said spool tube and engaging said internally threaded portion of said thimble tube to simultaneously clamp said resilient bodies to said mounting part and to secure said shock mount and associated mounting part to said support.

In a shock mount for clamping together elastically resilient bodies and holding a part placed between them, a spool device comprising:

• a rigid spacer member including an annular flange integral with a spacer tube projecting from an inner side of said flange, said spacer tube having a polygonal cross section at one end thereof;
• a rigid thimble member including an annular flange integral with a projecting thimble tube, said thimble tube having a polygonal cross section and fitting and being displaceable axially inside said spacer tube and prevented from rotation relative to said spacer tube by said polygonal interfitting cross sections, and having an internally screw-threaded end portion to receive a threaded fastener extended into said thimble end portion through said spacer tube;
• and
• means formed on the inside of said spacer tube for engaging an end portion of said thimble member and resisting separation of said members when said thimble tube is received in said spacer tube.
