Abstract
According to certain embodiments, a vibration-isolating case comprises a resilient, plastic-composite walled case and vibration-damping footing located at the bottom side of the case. Each vibration-damping footing comprises a mounting plate, cushions, and a damping system. The mounting plate has a flat surface and side surfaces extending from the flat surface to form a channel-shaped structure. The flat surface is positioned proximate a bottom outer surface of the case and couples to at least one brace within the case. The cushions are positioned within the channel-shaped structure such that the side surfaces of the mounting plate protect at least a top portion of each cushion. The damping system is positioned between the cushions and comprises a tray containing a quantity of inelastic particulate. A mechanical path exists between the vibration-damping footing and a platform mounted within the case.
