Abstract
A barrel elastomer mount having a first hollow frustum composed of an elastomer and having a first end and a second end with the first end of the first hollow frustum having an interior diameter larger than an external diameter of the second end of the first hollow frustum; and a second hollow frustum composed of an elastomer having a first end and a second end with the first end of the second hollow frustum having an interior diameter larger than an external diameter of the second end of the second hollow frustum. The first hollow frustum is securely attached to the second hollow frustum at the first end of the first hollow frustum and at the first end of the second hollow frustum creating an enclosed cavity whereby the walls of the elastomer mount provide tension and shear resistance to shock and vibrational forces as well as to compressive static forces.
