A device for reducing impact forces upon a surface includes a base comprising a first contact portion and a transition portion, a contact member disposed between the base and the surface; and a biasing portion disposed between the first contact portion of the base and the surface. At least a first portion of an impact force upon the surface is transferred from the contact member to the base, and a second portion of the impact force is subsequently returned to the surface, the second portion being less than the first portion.

An elastic support device according to an embodiment includes: a first member including a first magnet; and a second member including a second magnet, disposed so as to face the first member, and movable relative to the first member in response to receipt of an external force. A magnetic force acting between the first magnet and the second magnet holds the second member in an original position when the second member does not receive an external force, and the magnetic force returns the second member to the original position when the second member is moved due to receipt of an external force.

A magnetic levitation buffer device includes a seat body, a first moving member, and a second moving member. The seat body has a housing space, and a first and a second buffer members disposed in opposite to each other therein. The first moving member has a first magnetic end movably disposed in the housing space. The first moving member abuts against the first buffer member. The second moving member has a second magnetic end movably disposed in the housing space. The second magnetic end and the first magnetic end are arranged in a face-to-face arrangement and magnetically repulsive to each other, whereby the second moving member contacts the second buffer member. With such configuration, the present invention applies the first buffer member and the second buffer member to absorb the vibration force, thereby reducing the vibration.

There are improved a vibration absorption characteristic and an impact absorption characteristic. In a suspension mechanism 1 of the present invention, first and second dampers (150, 160) are suspended in parallel between an upper frame (120) and a lower frame (110) with mounting angles different from each other. For this reason, the smaller mounting angle the damper has, the smaller a vertical component of damping force becomes, and the damping force which acts on the upper frame (120) and the lower frame (110) which move up and down relatively is moderate in effectiveness as compared with a case of disposing all the dampers at the same mounting angle. Thus, a sense of incongruity in which strong damping force acts abruptly is suppressed and the vibration absorption characteristic and the impact absorption characteristic are improved, which leads to improvement in ride comfort.

The present disclosure provides a damper and an anti-irritable tractor, which relates to the field of pet traction devices and solves the problems that the damper has a short service life and the tractor is easy to lose the anti-irritable effect. The damper comprises a magnetic component and a damping plate, which are magnetically adsorbed and synchronously rotate or stand still when the rotating speed of a winding reel is less than the set speed; when the rotating speed of the winding reel exceeds the set speed, either of the magnetic component and the damping plate is connected with the winding reel, and the other of the magnetic component and the damping plate is connected with a stationary part, and when the magnetic component and the damping plate rotate relatively, the magnetic adsorption force between the magnetic component and the damping plate forms the resistance to limit the rotation of the winding reel. According to the damper, the adsorption force between the magnetic component and the damping plate can form the resistance to limit the rotation of the winding reel. The magnetic component and the damping plate are bonded and magnetically absorbed, and damping materials such as adhesive oil do not need to be filled. The heat generated by friction of the damping materials is reduced, and there is also larger magnetic force in case of abrasion, thus greatly prolonging the service life.

A vibration-isolating device based on magnetic damping includes a housing and an internal seat. The housing receives a first magnetic member and has a first buffer. The internal seat has a base portion received in the housing and has a raised portion protruding from the housing. The base portion has a second magnetic member positionally opposite to the first magnetic member to generate a damping effect. A second buffer is between the base portion and the housing and aligned with the first buffer. When an object is fixed to the raised portion, the object and the housing jointly hold the first buffer and leave a gap therebetween. The housing and the base portion hold the second buffer therebetween. When the object receives vibration, the first buffer and the second buffer damp the vibration first and the internal seat uses the damping effect to counteract any remaining part of the vibration.

A magnetic liquid damping shock absorber includes a housing, a thermal insulating material layer, a mass block and a magnetic liquid. The housing defines a sealed cavity, the sealed cavity has a first wall face and a second wall face opposite in a first direction and a circumferential wall face located between the first wall face and the second wall face in the first direction. The thermal insulating material layer is provided on an outer surface of the housing, on a wall face of the sealed cavity or in a housing wall of the housing. The mass block is located in the sealed cavity, and the mass block and the housing define a magnetic liquid cavity therebetween. The magnetic liquid is filled in the magnetic liquid cavity.

There are improved a vibration absorption characteristic and an impact absorption characteristic. In a suspension mechanism 1 of the present invention, first and second dampers (150, 160) are suspended in parallel between an upper frame (120) and a lower frame (110) with mounting angles different from each other. For this reason, the smaller mounting angle the damper has, the smaller a vertical component of damping force becomes, and the damping force which acts on the upper frame (120) and the lower frame (110) which move up and down relatively is moderate in effectiveness as compared with a case of disposing all the dampers at the same mounting angle. Thus, a sense of incongruity in which strong damping force acts abruptly is suppressed and the vibration absorption characteristic and the impact absorption characteristic are improved, which leads to improvement in ride comfort.

An eddy current damper includes a magnet holding member, a first permanent magnet having a thickness (H1), a second permanent magnet having a thickness (H1), a conductive member, a ball nut, a screw shaft, and a copper layer having a thickness (H2). The second permanent magnet is adjacent to the first permanent magnets with a gap therebetween in the circumferential direction of the magnet holding member. The ball nut is fixed to the magnet holding member or the conductive member. The copper layer is fixed to the conductive member and is opposed to the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet with a gap therebetween. The thickness (H1) and the thickness (H2) satisfy, with respect to a distance (R1) between a central axis of the screw shaft and the center of gravity of the first permanent magnet:
