SHOCK ABSORBER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F16F9/04 

FIELD: mechanics.

SUBSTANCE: shock absorber incorporates a telescopic guiding device, base plates, an elastic element. The telescopic guiding device represents the opposed outer and inner barrels with a rubber-cord envelope and centering elements. The elastic elements represents pneumatic shock absorbers arranged regularly around the outer barrel. The shock absorbers include the casing, the plunger and the rubber-cord envelope arranged between them. The device is furnished with cylindrical sliders fitted in appropriate axial channels to contact them. The sliders' one ends are pivoted to the appropriate bearing plates. The lengthwise axes of the elastic element pneumatic shock absorbers are arranged at an angle of 40° to 70° to the guiding device axis. The plungers are pivoted to the plates fitted on the base bulge sites making with the base the 110° to 150° angle.

EFFECT: higher stability under horizontal disturbing forces and easier self-recovery of horizontal position.
