FLEXIBLE DAMPENING DEVICE, FLEXIBLE ARTICULATION CENTERING DEVICE AND FLEXIBLE CENTERING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: flexible dampening device includes cone-shaped ring having form of oval in section with spring-loaded or direct contact; central circles are located at different distances relative to central longitudinal axis of cone-shaped ring. Flexible articulation centering device includes two cone-shaped rings directed towards each other by their lesser bases and engageable with movable member connected with one of objects; similar zones of contact of cone-shaped rings with object are located skew-symmetrically relative to central longitudinal axis. Flexible centering device differs from flexible articulation centering device in position of cone-shaped rings by their larger bases. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 12 cl, 4 dwg
