  • Patent number: 9702423
    Abstract: Device for damping vibrations of a vibration surface (21) of the frequency tuned resonance damping kind consisting of one or several elastic damping elements (1-4) and a vibration body (5) supported by the damping elements which together are tuned to damp the vibrations of said surface within a selected frequency range. First mutually co-operating form grip organs give a form grip between said damping elements (1-4) and the vibration surface (21), and second mutually co-operating form grip organs give a form grip between the damping elements and the vibration body. The form grip organs in addition have a recess with gripping surfaces (25-30, 33-35) for transferring vibrations.

  • Patent number: 9689454
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a frequency tuned damper with an elastic element (7) adapted to connect a vibration body (5) to a surface (3). The elastic element has a wide portion (17) and a narrow portion (19) disposed at different locations along a longitudinal axis (23) which is substantially parallel with the normal of the surface when the damper is mounted, and has a first circumferential mounting groove (11) in the wide portion (17), for attaching the wide portion to the surface, and a second circumferential mounting groove (15) in the narrow portion (19), for attaching the narrow portion to the vibration body. The first circumferential mounting groove extends along an elongated path. This provides a damper that is capable of providing two different resonance frequencies in two perpendicular directions in the plane of the surface, and can easily be aligned in a desired direction.

  • Publication number: 20170009836
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a frequency tuned damper having a vibration body (19) and at least one elastic element (11, 13, 15, 17) which connects the vibration body to a surface (21), the vibrations of which is to be dampened. The elastic element has a wide portion (29) and a narrow portion (31) disposed at different locations on an axis (39) which is substantially parallel with the normal of the surface. The wider portion has a cavity (41), and the wide and narrow portions are inter-connected by a transition portion (43). The part of the narrow portion that is closest to the transition portion fits inside the cavity, as seen in the direction of the axis, such that the narrow portion can be pushed at least partly into the cavity, thereby flexing the transition portion.

  • Patent number: 8950736
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a frequency tuned damper having a vibration body in the form of a casing. The casing has first and second parts which partly enclose a connector part which extends through a connector opening in the casing, such that it can be attached to a surface, the vibrations of which is to be dampened. The casing and the connector part are interconnected by means of a resilient member in the casing interior. The first casing part is a can portion 31 and the second casing part is a lid portion 33. The can portion defines an internal space having a mounting opening at one end to receive the resilient member, and the lid portion is arranged to be attached to the can portion over the mounting opening in order to compress the resilient member into a compressed state in the internal space. The internal space substantially fully contains the resilient member in the compressed state. The lid portion may be produced as e.g.
