  • Patent number: 5240222
    Abstract: An apparatus as a secondary vibration isolation system for use in mounting a mechanism having a vibrating element, a housing and a primary vibration isolation system to a separate structure. The apparatus is comprised of a hanging element attached to the separate structure, a secondary vibration isolator for dampening the vibration transmitted from the mechanism to the separate structure, and a securing element to secure the mechanism to the hanging element so that the secondary vibration isolator is positioned between the mechanism and the hanging element.

  • Patent number: 5096153
    Abstract: A shock and vibration mount including a mounting bolt, a first elastomer member, a support bracket, and a second elastomer member. The first elastomer member is interposed between the bottom surface of a mechanism which vibrates and the top surface of the support bracket. The second elastomer member is interposed between the under-surface of the mounting bolt head and the bottom surface of the support bracket. The first and second elastomer members and the support bracket do not normally contact the mounting bolt shaft.
