UNIT OF ELASTOMER SHOCK ABSORBER WITH CONNECTING ELEMENT AND PROCEDURE FOR ASSEMBLY OF THIS UNIT Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F16F1/377 F16F15/04 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: unit consists of connecting element and shock absorber out of elastomer material. The connecting element corresponds to a connecting rod containing a head with two surfaces parallel to each other and crossed with an aperture. The aperture forms a seat for a ball joint with a fixture. The shock absorber consists of two elements of various thicknesses on both surfaces of the connecting element joined along their periphery with joining facilities. The said two elements have a shape of disks parallel to each other, each having the central aperture opening parts of the ball joint which project relative to the head. Assembly of the unit is carried in the following sequence. First the shock absorber is put on the head of the element. Further the head with the shock absorber is inserted between lugs of an enveloping fork. Finally the connecting element is fixed in the fork by means of a pin.

EFFECT: simplification of shock absorber design and increased service life of joint unit.
