Damping enclosure
A damping enclosure includes a hollow resilient enclosure, multiple resilient balls movably received in the enclosure, and fluid inside the enclosure. With the rotation of the balls and the fluid inside the enclosure, a force is effectively dispersed and damped.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a damping enclosure, and more particularly to a damping enclosure to damp or decrease shock on the damping enclosure.
2. Description of Related Art
Current damping devices such as sand bags, air pads or rubber materials directly damp the shock by their material features, which has little effect to disperse the shock such that after a long period of time of continuously using the damping device, the damping devices are gradually worn out or damaged.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide an improved damping enclosure to mitigate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved damping enclosure to damp or decrease the shock by the resilient balls and fluid inside the enclosure such that the shock dispersion effect is good and thus the life span of the damping enclosure is prolonged.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
With reference to
The enclosure (10) is made of resilient material and is hollow so as to receive therein the balls (20). The enclosure (10) has multiple through holes defined through a periphery of the enclosure (10) so that the inner space of the enclosure (10) is able to communicate with ambient air outside the enclosure (10). Preferably, the enclosure (10) is a sphere.
The balls (20) are of different dimensions and made of resilient material. The balls (20) are received inside the enclosure (10) with the fluid (22) also received inside the enclosure (10). With the combination of the enclosure (10), the balls (20) and the fluid (22), the damping enclosure of the present invention is able to provide powerful shock damping effect.
