An isolator includes flexural elements for resisting transmission of shock and vibration forces between structures, and also includes conductor elements for conducting energy such as heat and/or electricity from at least one of the structures. Each element spans the distance between a pair of isolator supports connected to the structures.

Force-damping energy-removing isolator

An isolator with improved uniform spring characteristic response resists transmission of shock and vibration forces between structures, and includes a plurality of arched, individual, flexural support elements arranged circumferentially about an upright axis and spanning the distance between a base connectable to one of the structures, and an elevated support connectable to another of the structures.

Isolator with improved symmetrical response to shock and vibration forces

An improved isolator includes a bar of elongated base-forming members adapted to be mounted to a supporting surface and an elongated load-supporting bar adapted to support the load connected to, and supported above, the base-forming bars by a pair of arched flexural supports. Each support is formed of a series of individual flexural elements. The flexural elements are oriented or biased at an acute angle with respect to the horizontal, the first group of elements being biased in an angle opposed to that of the second group. The invention demonstrates more symmetrical response over an equivalent conventional isolator and permits further tuning of isolator response in accordance with load requirements.
