Abstract
A vibration isolator includes mounting members engaged with an isolator member. The isolator member contains a primary loop and a secondary loop, wherein the primary loop is the point of attachment to the mounting members. The secondary loop provides added symmetry between the compression rate and at least one of the roll spring rate and the shear spring rate of the isolator member. Features of the vibration isolator, such as the number of secondary loops, may be varied to achieve an isolator member with particular characteristics required for individual applications.
