Abstract
A vibration isolator is provided that includes a plurality of elastomeric members. The vibration isolator also includes first and second supports. The first and second supports cooperate with the plurality of elastomeric members to isolate and damp vibration between the first and second supports. The first support defines a first raised portion. The second support is spaced from the first support and defines a second raised portion facing the first support. The first and second raised portions are structured to cooperate so as to define a recess therebetween adapted to at least partially receive at least one elastomeric member. The vibration isolator also includes at least one fastener that is structured to mount the at least one elastomeric member between the first and second supports such that the elastomeric member(s) isolates and damps vibration transmitted between the first and second supports.
