Abstract
An elastomeric mounting module (1) suitable for use as one of a pair of modules for forming an elastomeric mounting assembly (20) comprises two rigid end members (2, 3) of L-shape section and an element (4) of elastomeric material extending between and bonded to inwardly facing surfaces (10, 11) of the end members, respective bonded surface zones of the two rigid end members being offset at least in part as considered in the direction of normal compression loading and in a transverse direction perpendicular to said loading direction.
Claims36
An elastomeric mounting assembly, comprising:
- at least two elastomeric mounting modules (1) secured in position relative to one another, each of said modules (1) comprising two rigid end members (2,3), each substantially of L-shape in cross-section and an element (4) of elastomeric material extending therebetween and bonded thereto said end members (2,3) having respective bonded surfaces (10,11) which are offset (y,x) at least in part as considered in the direction of normal compression loading and relative to a transverse direction perpendicular to said loading direction, whereby said end member (2,3) is oriented with the two inwardly facing, bonded surfaces (10,11) thereof generally facing towards inwardly facing bonded surfaces (10,11) of the other end member and that unbonded end surfaces of the rigid members comprise location means whereby said rigid members of the module may be located relative to corresponding said rigid members of another said module;
- and tie bars (25,26) whereby one pair of respective said end members (2) of two said modules (1) may be secured in proximity to one another and the other pair of respective end members (3) may be secured at a prescribed spacing relative to one another.
