  • Patent number: 10662645
    Abstract: A seismic isolation apparatus includes a laminated body having alternately laminated rubber plates and steel plates; a hollow portion provided inside the laminated body in a hermetically closed manner and extending in a laminated direction; a lead plug filled densely in the hollow portion and adapted to damp the vibration in a shearing direction of the laminated body by absorbing vibrational energy in the shearing direction; and a lid member having a semispherical concave surface which comes into contact with one end portion in the laminated direction A of the lead plug in order to guide and assist the plastic flow of the lead plug at one end portion in the laminated direction of the hollow portion in the deformation in the shearing direction of the lead plug.

  • Patent number: 8087500
    Abstract: A vibrational energy absorbing apparatus 1 includes: a reciprocating member 2 which is reciprocatable in H directions between positive and negative maximum displacement positions D±max with respect to an origin position O; a damping-force generating means 3 for generating a damping force R with respect to the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating member 2 in the H directions; and a controlling means 4 for controlling the damping-force generating means 3 so as to cause the damping-force generating means 3 to generate a fixed damping force R in the respective movement of the reciprocating member 2 in the H direction from the positive and negative maximum displacement position D±max to the origin position O in the reciprocating motion thereof in the H directions, while causing the damping-force generating means 3 to substantially not generate the damping force R in the respective movement of the reciprocating member 2 in the H direction from the origin position O to the positive and negative maximum displace
