摘要

A pedestal supports a base frame above which is a seat frame resiliently mounted on the base frame with four energy absorbing devices constituting the sole connection between the base frame and the seat frame. Each energy absorbing device comprises a block of rubber bonded to upper and lower metal plates extending from the block in opposite directions and connected by respective brackets to the seat frame and the base frame respectively. Each block has a bending or flexing surface inclined upwardly and outwardly toward the seat frame.
