Vibration isolator having magnetic springs

摘要

A vibration isolator is mounted on a floor of an ambulance and includes a lower frame movably mounted on the floor and an upper frame vertically movably mounted on the lower frame via a link mechanism. The vibration isolator also includes a plurality of magnetic springs interposed between the upper and lower frames and each having a plurality of permanent magnets with like magnetic poles opposed to each other. A vertical vibration of the upper frame is restrained by the plurality of magnetic springs, and the front side of the vibration isolator is lifted upon receipt of a forward acceleration.
