<p>A vibration isolator including a bearing support (22) and an elastic member (21) that communicates with a vibration source (23). The elastic member (21) is capable of bending from an original position to assume a more or less bowed position in response to changes in a load applied to the midportion (21B) of the elastic member (21) intermediate its ends (21A) and returning essentially to its original position when the original load is restored. The elastic member (21) engages a friction-resistant bearing surface on the bearing support (22) in response to a bending of the elastic member (21). The apparatus may be tuned to effectively isolate a particular vibration frequency, for example, by altering the properties of the elastic member (21) or by changing the distance between the points on the bearing support (22) that engages the elastic member (21).</p> |
