  • Patent number: 11846337
    Abstract: A damping element (1) has a multi-start thread on its circumferential surface (4). The damping element (1) can engage in a recess in a first body (12). To this end, the damping element (1) has a thread portion on its circumferential surface and the recess (13) in the first body (12) has in its inner lateral surface at least one mating thread portion which corresponds to the thread portion of the damping element (1). Through engagement of the thread in the mating thread, the damping element can be screwed together with the first body (12). By means of the thread, the damping element (1) can be fastened to the first body (12) and separated therefrom again with little effort. A fastening element (23) can fasten the damping element (1) to a second body in order to fasten the first (12) and the second bodies to one another in a vibration-damped manner.

  • Publication number: 20210310505
    Abstract: A damping element (1) has grooves (5) on its circumferential surface in the manner of a bayonet closure. The grooves (5) are open towards an end face (2, 3) of the damping element (1), wherein the grooves (5) or at least first portions (8) of the grooves (5) open towards the end face (2, 3) of the damping element (1) run substantially in the longitudinal direction of the damping element (1). Moreover, the grooves (5) have narrow points (10). Projections (11) in a recess (13) in a first body (12) can engage in the grooves (5) in order to secure the damping element (1) in the first body (12). By means of the bayonet closure, the damping element (1) can be fastened to the first body (12) and separated therefrom again with little effort. A fastening element (23) can fasten the damping element (1) to a second body in order to fasten the first (12) and the second bodies to one another in a vibration-damped manner.
