US 6,244,355 B1 · Isolation mount

Abstract

An isolation mount having a first mounting surface arranged on a vehicle. The first surface has substantially vertical first mounting lugs arranged at a lower end of the first surface, and a first fastening device for holding at least one pair of resilient device. The resilient devices comprise first resilient portions and second resilient portions. The first fastening device is preferably arranged at a top end of the first surface. The isolation mount further has a pivoting device, which has a first side facing the first surface, a second side facing away from the first surface and substantially vertical second mounting lugs arranged at a lower end of the first side of the pivoting device. The second mounting lugs are attachable to the first mounting lugs via pins to form a first hinge, about which the pivoting device is pivotable. The pivoting device further has resilient device holding device arranged at a top end of the pivoting device. The first resilient portions are arranged between the first side of the pivoting device and the first mounting surface whilst the second resilient portions are arranged on the second side of the pivoting device being pressed against the second side by a fourth resilient device holding device. The pivoting device is thus held between the first resilient portions and the second resilient portions at the top end of the pivoting device. The pivoting device is further fastened to a vibrating tool attachably mounted to the pivoting device via a second fastening device.
