  • Publication number: 20220235819
    Abstract: An elastic bearing comprising a mass having at least one mounting hole for a mounting sleeve, the mounting hole having a central longitudinal axis passing therethrough, at least one mounting sleeve having a collar section extending in the radial direction and a shaft section extending in the longitudinal direction, the mounting sleeve being fixed in the mounting hole, and an elastomeric body arranged on the outer circumferential side of the mounting sleeve. In an embodiment, the elastomer body has, in the region of the shaft section, a diameter-widening contour whose diameter increases with increasing longitudinal distance from the collar section, and the mounting hole having a diameter-widening contour which widens to the same extent as the diameter-widening contour of the elastomer body. In embodiments, the elastomer body is prestressed by the mass and the mounting sleeve at least in the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 11143259
    Abstract: A vibration absorber for absorbing and/or damping vibrations, such as of a vehicle part, may include at least one absorber mass having an opening, and at least two spring devices inserted into the opening. The spring devices may have at least one elastomeric spring element and a supporting body. The supporting body may accommodate the elastomeric spring elements. The supporting body may have an insertion section for inserting the supporting body and the elastomeric spring elements into the opening. The insertion section may be inclined relative to a longitudinal axis of the vibration absorber.
