RING DAMPER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: ring damper comprises flexible cylindrical rings secured to the housing. The housing is made of panel whose face grooves receive cylindrical rings fitted with interference so that the projecting parts of the flexible cylindrical rings from both sides of the panel define flexible bearing arcs of the damper which are in a contact with the surfaces of the object to be damped and bearing surfaces of the vehicle or construction structure, or foundation. The heights of the flexible bearing arcs are controlled by means of flexible semirings that are set with interference in the space between the flexible bearing arcs of the flexible cylindrical rings and panel surfaces. The peripheral planks secured to the panel prevent the flexible cylindrical rings and flexible semirings against falling out of the face grooves.

EFFECT: improved and simplified structure and expanded functional capabilities.
