METHOD OF FORMING FLEXIBLE-FRICTION MEMBERS FOR ROPE VIBRATION INSULATORS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method includes fixing bushings to a mandrel with a given step along the contour of the member, winding the rope on bushings to define loops consisting of arc-like parts which embrace bushings from the diametrically opposite side of them and straight crossed parts of the rope interposed between the bushings, and removing the bushings with the wound rope from the mandrel. After removing the bushing with the wound rope, the bushings are interposed between the supports so that the tops of the arc-like parts of the rope is in contact with the supports. The bushing are then removed. EFFECT: simplified method. 3 cl, 3 dwg
