A shock absorber includes: a collar which is mounted on an outer circumference of a cylinder movable in the axial direction with respect to an inner tube in which a liquid is stored and supports one end of a suspension spring. The collar has: an annular mounting portion whose one end is supported by the cylinder; an annular sliding contact portion provided to be closer to the suspension spring than the mounting portion and in sliding contact with an inner circumference of the inner tube; a truncated cone-shaped body portion that connects the mounting portion and the sliding contact portion and has a hole formed to apply a resistance against a flow of a liquid moving inside and outside the collar; and a rib formed on an inner circumference of the body portion along the axial direction.

A zero-stiffness impact isolation device includes a shell, a half-hourglass-shaped boss, a sliding block, a spring, a motion guide assembly, and an inner core. Where the motion guide assembly includes a linear bearing fixed to the shell and the inner core and a corresponding sliding rod, and is divided into a transverse guide assembly and a longitudinal guide assembly. The spring is sleeved outside the sliding rod of the transverse motion guide assembly, and two ends of the spring are in contact with the sliding block and the inner core, respectively. When the device suffers from external impact load, the inner core and the separated object carry out a reciprocating motion, the sliding block is extruded by the half-hourglass-shaped boss to move side to side with respect to the inner core, and the spring provides elastic force to the sliding block in the process.

A double-ring shaped strong magnet array nonlinear dynamic vibration absorber for vibration mitigation of suspender cables and design method thereof, which belongs to the field of structural vibration control. The installation positions and number are designed according to the demand of vibration mitigation, and usually one is installed at the midpoint of the suspender cable. The vibration absorber consists of the inner and outer magnet ring arrays, the additional weights, the universal wheels and a base. It feeds back the control force in the opposite direction of the motion of the suspender cable during the movement, so that the vibration energy of the suspender cable is transferred to the vibration absorber and thus less is returned to the suspender cable, and the energy dissipated through the friction between the universal wheels and the base, adding air dampers and other measures, etc.

In a power transmission device, a dynamic damper is provided in a power transmission path having at least one damper disposed therein, and has an inertial rotating body that can rotate relative to a transmission rotating member forming part of the power transmission path, and a dynamic damper spring that can provide connection between the transmission rotating member and the inertial rotating body. A preset load is applied to the dynamic damper spring in a non-transmitting state of the power transmission path. The dynamic damper spring is supported on either one of the transmission rotating member and the inertial rotating body so as to apply the preset load to the dynamic damper spring in the non-transmitting state, and a gap is set in a rotational direction in the non-transmitting state between the dynamic damper spring and an other one of the transmission rotating member and the inertial rotating body.

A tubular vibration-damping device including an inner shaft member and an outer tube member connected by a main rubber elastic body. The outer tube member is configured to be slidably inserted in an attachment tube in an axial direction, and is circumferentially divided so as to be radially deformable or displaceable. A pair of tighteners are disposed on axially opposite sides of the main rubber elastic body. The main rubber elastic body is fastened to an inner circumferential surface of the outer tube member. An adjustment elastic body against which the tighteners are pressed is integrally formed with axially opposite side portions of the main rubber elastic body. Sliding resistance in the axial direction between an outer circumferential surface of the outer tube member and an inner circumferential surface of the attachment tube is settable depending on a pressing force of the tighteners against the adjustment elastic body.

A vibration isolator configured to restrict vibration generated in a vibration source from being transmitted to a vibration transmitted portion includes at least one elastic member. The vibration transmitted portion is provided with at least one support portion to support the vibration source via the at least one elastic member. The at least one elastic member is disposed between the vibration source and at least the one support portion, and is elastically deformed to suppress the transmission of vibration of the vibration source to the vibration transmitted portion from the at least one support portion. The vibration source and at least the one elastic member are configured so that resonance frequencies in plural vibration modes generated in the vibration source conform to one predetermined frequency.

A high tension coil spring structure for a bed mattress includes spring bodies and exposed wiring portions which absorb an external load. Diameter-increasing portions (A) are formed on at least one of upper and/or lower end wiring portions (14, 14′) of body wiring portions (12), and provide spaces in which upper and/or lower exposure start wiring portions (16-5, 16-5′) move upward and downward. Rigid support ends (18) are formed on at least one of the body wiring portions (12) and upper and lower exposed wiring portions (16, 16′), and absorb a compressive load. The diameter-increasing portions and the rigid ends of the coil spring structure fundamentally prevent noise caused by friction between the exposed wiring portions and surrounding wiring portions when the exposed wiring portions are compressed and significantly increase the elasticity of the exposed wiring portions.
