<p>A passive vibration isolator (10) that contains a resilient element (12) supported by a first support (18) and a second support (20). The resilient element (12) reacts with one or more of the supports so that the isolator (10) has a natural frequency versus load curve. The curve has a first portion (A) with a varying natural frequency and a second portion (B) with a relatively constant frequency. The second support (20) may have a profile (22) so that a contact area of the support is approximately constant in the first portion (A) of the curve and varies in the second portion (B) of the curve.</p> |
