<p>A shock and vibration isolator for isolating one or more sensitive elements (16) from a support structure (26) in which frame means (10) having a plurality of corners (18) supports such elements and a plurality of isolator means (20) are coupled to the frame means (10) at the corners (18) and to the support structure (26), the isolator means (20) including a plurality of arched, individual, flexural support elements (32) configured in an arc opening generally into the corners. In a particular embodiment, the support elements (32) are configured in a semicircle and the isolator means (20) are grouped into opposing pairs. A damping cushion (36) is contained within and extends from the isolator means (20) to provide additional shock isolation for the frame means (10). In a second embodiment, the support elements (22) are coupled directly to the sensitive element (16) and the support structure (26) at preselected locations and are configured in an arc opening generally towards the center of gravity of the sensitive element (16).</p> |
