  • Patent number: 5051966
    Abstract: A fastening device for fixing seismic circular devices is designed with a rigid, split, annular clamp (4) with an open void facing the seismic device (1) for insertion of at least one shock absorbing member (7) in the void. Such a clamp (4) is provided in the region of the device which is most subjected to strain, where a concentric securing ring (8) is also mounted, about which the clamp is fitted with a shock absorbing member (7) on each side of the ring. One more such clamp is provided on the seismic device (1) in order to distribute the load. This arrangement is especially suitable for use in connection with seismic airguns which are to be fixed at predetermined mutual distances in a frame structure (2).
