  • Vibration damper
    Patent number: 5996959
    Abstract: A vibration damper comprises an attachment member and a damping mass connected by an elastomer spring with a plurality of elastic coupling elements. The coupling elements are inclined relative to the direction of the spacing between the damping mass and the attachment member. The inclination angle of the coupling elements is adjusted so that the natural vibrational frequency of the vibration damper in the spacing direction can be tuned largely independently from that in a direction perpendicular to the spacing direction.
