SHOCK-PROOF SUSPENSION Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; machine elements; single-acting shock-absorbing systems with plastically deformable members; space engineering. SUBSTANCE: shock-proof suspension includes elongated members made from plastic material; these members consist of arc-shaped components to whose ends rectilinear components are connected. Second end of one of rectilinear components is secured to protective case and second end of other component is secured to object to be protected. Length of rectilinear components is approximately equal to radius of arc-shaped component. EFFECT: reduced shock acceleration to permissible level equal for all directions of impact. 2 dwg
