Abstract: An energy absorber system utilizing a pair of housings having facing cavities and with a hollow deformable torsion member interconnecting the housings. One portion of the torsion member is received in the cavity of one housing and another portion of the torsion member is received in the cavity of the other housing. The housing cavities have cross-sectional conformations which receive the torsion member in such a manner that relative rotation therebetween is prevented. Rotation of one housing relative to the other deforms the torsion member elastically and/or plastically. Such deformation absorbs the energy of forces tending to rotate the housings.

Abstract: An isolating mount, such as for an engine, comprises a rigid bushing with a resilient rubber block molded around it and cavities formed in the block opening to its exterior on opposite sides of the bushing, preferably located along a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bushing. End plates are bonded to the block surrounding the open ends of the cavities, and these plates may have flanges thereon coated with rubber. Optional floor plates may be incorporated in the block at the bottoms of one or both cavities. Covers are held in sealed relation over the cavities, as by forming the flanges around the covers to retain them. A passage is formed between the cavities, and the cavities and passage are filled with a liquid which is confined therewithin. Displacement of the block in response to forces acting on the mount will result in distortion of the cavities and corresponding displacement of the liquid from one of the cavities to the other to damp motion of the block.

Abstract: A vibration damper for vehicles is disclosed with a variable damping force. The vibration damper includes two series-connected damping valve systems which effect a damping force variation by means of a blockable bypass passage. An externally influenceable damping force in at least three stages is obtained in that the bypass passage bridges the two series-connected damping valve systems. This bypass passage has outer passages which open into the chambers separated by the damping valve arrangement and a further intermediate passage which opens to a space between the damping valve systems. At least two passages are closable to change the damping of damping fluid displaced between the chambers.

Abstract: In a fluid spray gun, the fluid nozzle is threadedly attached to the gun body and is covered by an air cap and threaded retaining ring.
