Abstract
A free standing Anti-Vibration mounting comprises a toroid-supported equipment mounting plate 1 fitted with an equipment securing bolt 3 and incorporating a solid resilient overload or deflation bump stop 2 fitted below the plate 1 and encapsulating the bolt 3. The toroid 6 can be inflatable or a combination of liquids, gases or resilient material can be used to fill the toroid. The mounting can be used as an actuator. <IMAGE>
Description
DESCRIPTION
SIMPLE INFLATABLE ANTI-VIBRATION MOUNTING
This invention relates to an inflatable anti-vibration mounting which is mounted in the form of a free standing foot for use under many varying types of equipment an inflatable toroid made of suitable flexible material such as polyurethane or rubber possibly reinforced over part or all of the area is pressurised with gas liquid or a combination of both through a valve being possibly conventional tyre value. When boarded and deflated the mounting sits on a resilient bumps stop which is connected to and positioned below a metal or plastic mounting plate with projecting studs onto which the mounted equipment is fixed.When the pressure is sufficient in the toroid the mounted load is raised and supported upon the troid thereby forming an effective anti-vibration mounting, further increases in pressure will have the effect of further raising the equipment and crossing the mounting to vary its stiffiness.
The construction of variations of the mount will now be described with references to the accompanying drawings. Reference to figure 1 this shows a cross section through A-A figure 2, this mount having a mounting equipment plate with a downstanding wall protruding over the outer periphery of the toroid and a bump stop touching the inner periphery of the toroid. An equipment mounting plate .1. with a resilient bump stop .2. attached to it be the stud .3. can have equipment mounted on it and secured with washer .4. and nut .5. below the mounting plate .1. is positioned an inflatable toroid .6. having an inflation valve .7. fitted reference to figure .2. this shows a cross section of a mount of the same type in all aspects of its construction to that shown in figure .1.
except that the bump stop does not come in contact with the inner periphery of the toroid. Reference to figure .3. This shows a plan view of mounts shown in figures .1. and .2.
Reference to figure .4. This shows a cross section of a mount substantially as shown in figure 1 except that the downstanding wall at the outer periphery of the toroid is very much smaller and the bumps stop in contact with the inner periphery of the toroid over a larger area.
The various features indicated and described above can apply to carry one mount in varying combinations.
The mount can be used as an actuator and as vabriation generator by the use of external pulsed gas, liquid combination of both.
Solid or semi solid material could be used to fill or part fill the toroid if desired.
Claims (9)
1. An anti-vibration mounting comprising a free standing inflatable
toroid, supporting an equipment mounting plate with an equipment
securing bolt at its centre. An overload or deflation bumb stop of
a suitable resiliantmaterial is positioned below the equipment
mounting plate centre.
2. An anti-vibration mounting as claimed in claim 1, wherein the
equipment mounting plate has a depending wall at its out periphery the
depth of which can vary depending on individual mounting requirements.
3. An anti-vibration mounting as claimed in claim 1, or claim 2, wherein
the overload or deflation bumb stop is circular. In section its outer
edge being in contact with the inflatable toroid and encapsulating the
bottom of the equipment mounting bolt, whereby upon contact with the
ground, only the resilient material makes contact, effectively acting
as an anti-shock and vibration stop.
4. An anti-vibration mounting as claimed in claim 1, claim 2 and claim 3
except that the overload or deflation bump stops outer edge takes up
the shape of the area in contact with the inflatable toroid.
5. An anti-vibration mounting as claimed in claim 1, claim 2 and claim 3
except that the overload or deflation bump stop is distanced from the
inflatable toroid at all times.
6. An anti-vibration mounting as claimed in claims, 2, 3, 4 and 5,
wherein the inflatable toroid is filled with a combination of gas or
liquid.
7. An anti-vibration mounting as claimed in claims 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5,
wherein the inflatable toroid is completely or partially filled with a
flexible cellular material.
8. An anti-vibration mounting as-claimed in claims 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5,
wherein the inflatable toroid is replaced by a seal toroid either
filled or partially filled with combinations of gas, liquid or
resilient materials.
9. An anti-vibration mounting substantially as described herein with
reference to figures 1-4 of the accompanying drawings.
