Stacked tetrahedral elastomer mount

摘要

A shock isolator for use in a compressive mode comprising a pyramid-shaped elastomer having a cavity therein with the pyramid-shaped elastomer having a base supporting a set of triangular shaped sidewalls that each terminate in a apex with the triangular shaped sidewalls cantilevered from the base to jointly terminate at a pyramid-shaped apex to create a one-piece elastomer mount so that a force applied to the pyramid apex is transmitted to the base through an offset axis while shock and vibration forces are attenuated by the shear resistance of the shock isolator.
