Abstract:
An engine isolator mount can be utilized to couple a front portion of a drive unit including an internal combustion engine assembly to the frame of a small utility vehicle. The engine isolator mount can allow for limited relative movement between the engine and the frame during acceleration and deceleration and operation of the small utility vehicle. The engine isolator mount can be configured to undergo compression during forward deceleration and tension during forward acceleration of the small utility vehicle. The engine isolator mount can allow relative movement in all three directions.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handprothese mit einem Chassis (1) und Kopplungselementen (2) zur Befestigung der Handprothese an einem Armstumpf sowie mit zumindest einem Gelenk zur Flexion und Extension der Handprothese relativ zu den Kopplungselementen (2), wobei das Chassis (1) entgegen einer Federkraft in einer Neutralstellung gehalten ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist zumindest ein Federelement (3) dem Chassis (1 ) zugeordnet, das eine progressive Federkennlinie aufweist und bei zunehmenden Flexions- oder Extensionswinkel eine zunehmende Gegenkraft bereitstellt.
Abstract:
The multi-axis random vibration isolator is designed and configured to reduce the shock and vibration to electronic components. The shock and vibration isolator may include a body (202) having a top end (204) defining a cavity (206) and a bottom end (208), a first passageway (214) extending through the body below the cavity, and a second passageway (216) extending through the body below the cavity, the second passageway intersecting the first passageway.
Abstract:
When, according to the invention, constructing a resilient insert for a mattress or a similar support of profiles (1) made of resilient resin and joining adjacent profiles along their side edges, a contiguous resilient insert will be achieved which may be disinfected by wahing without being damaged. To achieve the best possible comfort, the profile (1) is formed with transverse slots (4 and 5) so that the profile may yield in an expedient manner. To carry the mattress, though-going, preferably tranversely extending rods (2) are inserted into the lower side of the profiles, thereby allowing the mattress to be used without a bed bottom.
Abstract:
An elastomeric energy absorbing bumper mounting mechanism for a vehicle comprises an energy absorbing block (26) formed of an elastomeric material, desirably a crystalline thermoplastic polyester material, formed into an intersecting grid of elastomeric walls, with a stiffer inboard side than outboard side, thickened peripheral end walls, triangular reinforcing cells, tapered cell walls, thickened posts at the intersections of certain walls, and a portion of partial length cells. The block is heat staked to rigid end plates (28, 30) at each end to form energy absorbing units, and the end plates are bolted to a bumper beam and vehicle rail plates. Two energy absorbing units support the bumper beam and are easily replaceable and adaptable to other vehicles.
Abstract:
A shock absorbing device of substantially polyurethane construction is described in which there are provided a plurality of cavities in the outer surface of the device. The characteristics of the polyurethane material varies in layers between the outer surface and the inner surface of the device being hardest at the outer and inner surfaces and less hard between the surfaces. The device finds applications as a marine fender.
Abstract:
A damper absorbs energy generated between a first component and a second component. The second component is spaced from and moveable toward the first component along a jounce axis. The damper includes a body having a ring-shaped configuration. The body also includes a first edge for engaging the first component and a second edge for engaging the second component. The second edge is spaced from the first edge. The body defines a plurality of holes spaced about the body. The plurality of holes are configured to allow the damper to compress axially for energy as one of the first and second components move along the jounce axis.
Abstract:
A shock attenuating mounting for a seat, comprising an attenuating element composed of resilient material, the element securable on a first side to a seat and securable on a second side to a vehicle, the element configured to attenuate shock experienced by the vehicle along more than one axis.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a bearing device (10) for a vehicle exhaust gas system, comprising at least one fixing device (12, 14) for attaching the bearing device (10) to the vehicle, at least one fixing device (12, 14) for attaching the bearing device (10) to the exhaust gas system, and at least one damping body (16) that extends between the fixing devices (12, 14). According to the invention, the damping body (16) can have at least one damping arm (18, 20) that extends between the fixing devices (12, 14) such that a contact section (18b) of the damping arm is at a specified distance from a counter contact section (20b) of at least one counter contact body (20) in the unloaded state of the damping body (16). The at least one damping arm (18, 20) arches as a result of a pressure load in order to achieve a progressive damping characteristic. The damping arm first freely deforms, thereby increasing the arch (18a, 20a), and then the contact section (18b) of the damping arm sits against the counter contact section (20b).
