Abstract
An elastomeric pin isolator assembly is provided, including an elastomeric material, configured to engage a first support structure or mass, and a pin member, engaged with the elastomeric material, the pin member configured to slidably at least one of a second support structure or mass and the elastomeric material, and further wherein at least a portion of the elastomeric member is disposed between the first and second support structures or masses such that the first and second support structures or masses do not directly contact.
Claims4
An assembly comprising:
- a frame, said frame comprising at least two opposing frame walls connected by at least one frame rail;
- and
- at least one elastomeric pin isolator provided in engagement with one of said at least two opposing frame walls;
- and
- at least one elastomeric pin isolator provided in engagement with another of said at least two opposing frame walls;
- wherein at least one of said elastomeric pin isolators comprises:
- an elastomeric material configured to securely engage at least one of said at least two opposing frame walls and a pin member securely engaged with the elastomeric material, the pin member configured to slidably engage a second support structure or mass, and further wherein at least a portion of the elastomeric member is disposed between the at least one of said at least two opposing frame walls and said second support structure or mass such that at least one of said at least two opposing frame walls and the second support structure or mass do not directly contact, and
- wherein the assembly includes top and bottom surfaces, wherein a deflectable tab comprises at least part of at least one of the top and bottom surfaces.
