Fore-aft vibration isolator

摘要

A vehicle seating system includes a top frame for mounting to a vehicle seat. The top frame has integral rails or channels with roller tracks at one end and vibration dampening systems at the other. An opposing pair of the roller tracks includes a vibratory dampening or regulation system that controls the amount of fore and aft travel of the top frame.

主权项

1. A system that facilitates vibratory dampening, comprising:
a connector block configured to fixedly connect to a cross-member, wherein the cross-member is in communication with a seat assembly, and wherein the connector block travels linearly within a channel of a seat mounting frame in synchronization with the seat assembly; and a pair of compression mechanisms, each of the compression mechanisms having an inner and an outer end, wherein the inner end of each of the compression members is attached to opposite ends of the connector block:, a pair of alignment mechanisms for aligning the pair of compression mechanisms and the connector block within the channel of the seat mounting frame, wherein the outer end of each compression member is attached to a respective alignment mechanism, wherein the connector block is attached to the alignment mechanisms only through the compression members, and wherein the connector block and the pair of compression mechanisms are configured to dampen linear vibration upon being installed within the channel of the seat mounting frame.
