SPATIAL FLEXIBLE MOUNTING FOR SPACE VEHICLE INSTRUMENT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: space engineering. SUBSTANCE: spatial flexible mounting is made of three similar shock absorbers whose axes coincide with those of orthogonal coordinate system with origin at center of masses of equipment protected. Each shock absorber is made in form of main and additional forks on whose ends springs directed towards each other are secured. These springs are rigidly interconnected by means of disk made of dielectric material with bonded surfaces isolated from each other; each of them is electrically connected with pair of springs; one pair of springs is secured at the end of main fork and other pair of springs is secured on end of additional fork. Ends of springs are connected with respective ends of forks by means of electric insulators. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 2 cl, 3 dwg
