Abstract
A shock isolator for simultaneously isolating shocks and for supporting a static load in an axial offset compression mode comprising a four-sided elastomer having a first elongated support surface and a second elongated support surface with the laterally offset from each the elastomer rotated at a point between the first support surface and the second support surface to thereby simultaneously provide shock and vibration attenuation while providing axially offset support.
Claims15
A shock isolator for simultaneously isolating shocks and supporting a static load comprising:
- an elastomer material, said elastomer material having a set of connecting walls integrally forming a four-sided shock isolator with a cavity therein, said four-sided shock isolator having a central axis;
- and
- a first elongated support surface located on a first end of the elastomer material and a second elongated support surface located on an opposing end of the elastomer material with said first elongated support surface and said second elongated support surface being rotationally positioned with respect to each other so that any point on said first support surface is supported by said second support surface and vice versa.
A shock isolator for simultaneously isolating shocks and supporting a static load in an axial offset compression mode comprising:
- a four-sided elastomer, said elastomer having a chamber therein;
- a central axis, said elastomer having a first end and a second end;
- a first elongated support surface located at the first end of said four-sided elastomers;
- and
- a second elongated support surface located at the second end of said four-sided elastomers, said first elongated support surface laterally positioned with respect to said second elongated support surface so that any point on said first support surface is supported by said second support surface and vice versa to thereby simultaneously provide shock and vibration attenuation while providing axially offset support without allowing a direct compressive path through a longitudinal axis of the material.
