| 20130075965 | EXTERNAL SHEAR-HUB ISOLATOR - An elastomeric isolator has an elastomeric body which incorporates an inner structural member and an outer structural member. The elastomeric body includes a shear hub extending between radial flanges defined by the inner and outer structural members that undergo shearing stresses during deflection of the elastomeric isolator.

| 20130043627 | Crash pad with pelletized and shredded form filling - This present invention addresses the need for more shock-absorbing crash pad. Most traditional crash pads use box-type stiffer, thinner, closed-cell foam sheet over, sometimes under, too, a squishier, thicker, open-cell solid foam base. However, traditionally, most inner form are solid box type and still too hard to soften the landings in case of a fall of climber because most impact goes to downward. This present invention uses forms which were shredded and chunked to ¼″ to ½″ varied pieces packed in enclosed baffles instead of box-type solid form, allowing air among forms and more shock-absorbing baffle effect to minimize the impact to falling climbers. When hit by a falling climber, the impacts are dispersed to both side-way and downward minimizing the impact to the falling climber. | 02-21-2013 |

| 20080217824 | Device for Suspending a Unit Such that Vibrations are Damped - The invention relates to a device for suspending a unit, especially a hydraulic unit of an electronically traction-controlled brake system of a motor vehicle. The unit is suspended in a receptacle provided on the vehicle such that vibrations are damped. Hydraulic units of vehicle brake systems are usually equipped with an electric motor for driving pumps located in the hydraulic unit. The brake pressure in the wheel brakes can be modulated via the pumps. The pump drive can cause mechanical and hydraulic vibrations in the unit which can result in unwanted operational noise in case said vibrations are transmitted to the vehicle body without being damped. The improved device is manually preloaded due to limited space for using tools. A clamping mechanism is guided in an axially movable manner on an armature which is fixed to the hydraulic unit and which can be moved from a basic position into a clamping position. The clamping mechanism is interlocked with the armature in both positions. | 09-11-2008 |
