Estimating the term…
There is disclosed a device for the protection of objects or body parts against vibrations, in particular a vibration-damping glove or antivibration glove, including at least one vibration-damping layer. In order to realize such a device, which causes noticeable damping of vibrations even in the low-frequency range of vibrations (31.5 to 200 Hz) and, in addition, remains maneuverable to the largest extent possible, at least one vibration-damping layer, on its surface facing away from the object or body part to be protected, includes indents for decoupling movements in at least one direction in the plane of that surface. The indents, on the one hand, cause the vibrations oriented in the plane of the surface to be deflected into the interior of the layer, thereby enhancing the vibration-damping effect, in particular in the low-frequency range. On the other hand, a high degree of movability of the vibration-damping layer, and hence of the overall device, is ensured by the indents.
A device for protecting an object or body part against vibrations, including at least one vibration-damping layer having a layer surface facing away from said object or body part to be protected, wherein said at least one vibration-damping layer, on said layer surface facing away from said object or body part to be protected, comprises a plurality of indents adapted to decouple movements in at least one direction in the plane of said layer surface, wherein said at least one vibration-damping layer is comprised of a three-dimensional elastomer matrix having vibration-damping plasticizers incorporated therein, to ensure optimum vibration damping even in the low-frequency range from approximately 31.5 to 200 Hz.
