Barrel elastomer mount

A method of damping dynamic forces comprising:

• a. forming a hollow barrel elastomer mount having an internal diameter which extends in a side-to-side condition and parallel to a first end face of the barrel elastomer mount, larger than an external diameter of either the first end face or a second end face of the barrel elastomer mount, said barrel elastomer mount formed from a first hollow frustum composed of an elastomer and a second hollow frustum composed of an elastomer;
• b. securing a base of the first hollow frustum directly to a base of the second hollow frustum;
• c. securing the first end face of the barrel elastomer mount to a first member;
• and
• d. securing the second end face of the barrel elastomer mount to a second member to provide for support of the barrel elastomer mount between the first member and the second member whereby a wall of said barrel elastomer provides an offset compressive path and applying dynamic forces to said barrel elastomer mount attenuates the dynamic forces through tensional resistance while simultaneously providing a compressive support.

A method of damping dynamic forces comprising:

• forming a hollow barrel elastomer mount having an internal diameter larger than an external diameter of either ends of the barrel elastomer mount from a first hollow frustum composed of an elastomer and a second hollow frustum composed of an elastomer;
• securing the first end of the barrel elastomer mount to a first member;
• securing the second end of the barrel elastomer mount to a second member to provide for support of the barrel elastomer mount between the first member and the second member whereby a wall of said barrel elastomer provides an offset compressive path and applying dynamic forces to said barrel elastomer mount attenuates the dynamic forces through tensional resistance while simultaneously providing a compressive support;
• and
• changing the compressive support of the barrel elastomer mount by placing a compression spring in a cavity of said barrel elastomer mount.
