US Patent:

20050069378, Mar 31, 2005

Filed:

Nov 12, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/988479

Inventors:

Edward Kraine - Milan OH, US
Joseph Cerri - Norwalk OH, US
Kurt Stoll - Huron OH, US

International Classification:

F16D001/12

US Classification:

403119000

Abstract:

A pivot joint has a low friction rotational property by allowing the elastomeric bushing to rotate with respect to the inner metal. A low friction material can be incorporated between these two components to facilitate the rotation, if desired. The elastomeric bushing helps to isolate the pivot joint and prevent the transmission of vibrations. In one embodiment, the elastomeric bushing is also allowed to pivot about an axis generally perpendicular to its axis of rotation.

Inventors:

- Milan OH, US
Joseph F. Cerri - Norwalk OH, US

Assignee:

The Pullman Company - Milan OH

International Classification:

F16F 7/108

Abstract:

A vibration absorber for a vehicle. The vibration absorber includes a bushing assembly and a mass. The bushing assembly includes an elastomeric element. The mass is mounted relative to the bushing assembly. Movement of the mass articulates the elastomeric element in shear to absorb vibration of the vehicle.
