Abstract
An isolation system mount for mounting an electronic navigation system to the barrel of a non-recoiled artillery. The mount includes a navigation system cradle supported from an artillery barrel mount by first and second sets of elastomer isolators. The mount provides a high degree of three-dimensional shock and thermal isolation.
Claims29
An isolation system mount for mounting sensitive electronic equipment to artillery, comprising:
- an artillery mount;
- an electronic equipment cradle;
- and
- at least two elastomer isolators each having a first portion mechanically attached to the artillery mount and a second portion mechanically attached to the electronic equipment cradle, wherein the elastomer isolators elastomerically support the equipment cradle from the artillery mount to provide three-dimensional shock and/or thermal isolation, wherein the at least two elastomer isolators are attached to different sides of the electronic equipment cradle.

An isolation system mount for mounting shock and/or temperature sensitive electronic equipment to non-recoiled artillery, comprising:
- an artillery barrel mount including first and second spaced-apart plates, the mount being formed so as to receive an artillery barrel with the first and second plates being spaced along an axis which is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the artillery barrel when the mount is mounted to the artillery barrel;
- an electronic equipment cradle including first and second spaced-apart plates, the cradle being attachable to the barrel mount with the first and second plates of the electronic equipment cradle being spaced along an axis which is parallel to the axis of the artillery barrel when the mount and the cradle are mounted to the artillery barrel;
- first and second sets of elastomer isolators, each isolator of the first set having a first end attached to the first plate of the artillery barrel mount and a second end attached to the first plate of the electronic equipment cradle, and each isolator of the second set having a first end attached to the second plate of the artillery barrel mount and a second end attached to the second plate of the electronic equipment cradle, wherein the first and second sets of elastomer isolators elastomerically support the equipment cradle from the artillery barrel mount to provide three-dimensional shock and/or thermal isolation.
An isolation system comprising:
- first and second mount plates being formed so as to receive an artillery barrel;
- an electronic equipment cradle including first and second cradle plates and an electronic equipment receiving base, the electronic equipment receiving base being secured at opposite ends to the first and second cradle plates;
- a first set of elastomer isolators, each elastomer isolator of the first set having a first end attached to the first mount plate and a second end attached to the first cradle plate;
- and,
- a second set of elastomer isolators, each elastomer isolator of the second set having a first end attached to the second mount plate and a second end attached to the second cradle plate.
