SHOCKPROOF SUSPENSION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to single-acting shock-absorbing systems with flexible deformable members. Proposed suspension consists of two shockabsorbing cylindrical belts. Each belt includes shock absorbers made in form of elongated links. Elongated links are made of elastic material in form of arc-shaped elements to ends of which straight elements are connected. Second end of one of straight elements of each elongated link is designed for rigidly fastening on protective housing. Ring is used in each shock- absorbing belt, with second ends of second straight element of each elongated link of corresponding shock-absorbing belt being connected to each ring. Ring of one of shock-absorbing belts is designed for ring connection to cylindrical object to be protected. Ring of second shock-absorbing belt is installed on object to be protected for sliding along its surface in longitudinal direction. Invention provides reduction of shock acceleration to different levels in longitudinal and cross directions. EFFECT: improved protection. 2 cl, 2 dwg
