  • Patent number: 10626945
    Abstract: A vibration absorber for reducing vibrations of a structure comprises a rigid solid body providing an absorber mass, and two spring elements for elastically coupling the absorber mass to the structure. The spring elements are arranged at opposing ends of the absorber mass, and each of the two spring elements comprises a tube-shaped section made of elastomeric material which is positively connected to the rigid solid body and which extends away from the rigid solid body up to a fixation contour at its outer circumference. Each of the fixation contours is configured for fixation in an opening of a mounting base of the structure. A pin-shaped amplitude delimiter which is part of the rigid solid body is arranged in each of the two tube-shaped sections for delimiting amplitudes of deflections of the absorber mass with regard to the structure.
