Provided is a vibration control bush configured to improve durability of a rubber elastic body. The vibration control bush includes: a shaft member that includes a spherical convex portion; a tubular member that is arranged on a radially outer side of the shaft member; and a rubber elastic body that joins the tubular member and the shaft member. The rubber elastic body is joined to a first portion and a second portion of the tubular member. The first portion is positioned on the radially outer side of the convex portion, and the diameter of the inner circumferential face gradually decreases axially outward from the center. The second portion is positioned on the axially outer side with respect to the first portion, and the diameter of the inner circumferential face gradually increases axially outward.

The invention relates to a self-adjusting joint (11) which is designed to receive an end of a chair leg of an active dynamic chair, comprising a hollow inner cylinder (12) that comprises an upper and lower end-face edge (12o, 12u) and a hollow outer cylinder (13) that is arranged around the exterior of the inner cylinder (12) and has an upper and lower end-face edge (130, 13u), each of which is offset relative to the upper and lower end-face edge (12o, 12u) of the inner cylinder (12) in the axial direction (A), and a first compression spring section (11a) that consists of a plurality of cylinder bodies or cylinders (15a) which surround the inner cylinder (12) and between which a respective elastomer section (14a) is arranged so as to connect the cylinder bodies or cylinders, and a second compression spring section (11b) that is arranged at a distance from the first compression spring section in the axial direction (A) and consists of a plurality of cylinder bodies (15b) or cylinders which surround the inner cylinder (12) and between which a respective elastomer section (14b) is arranged so as to connect the cylinder bodies or cylinders.

A bar pin bushing assembly including a bar pin having at least one end with at least one bore to receive a fastener, the at least one bore extending through the at least one end, the bar pin having a central portion having a diameter that is greater than a width or diameter of the at least one end of the bar pin, a compressible rubber section positioned around the central portion of the bar pin, the compressible rubber section further extending around downwardly tapering surfaces adjacent the central portion of the bar pin, an outer metal shell mold bonded to the compressible rubber section, a first disc insert positioned over a first end of the outer metal shell, a second disc insert positioned over a second end of the outer metal shell, and a tubular outer metal wall positioned over the outer metal shell, the first disc insert, and the second disc insert.

A bearing assembly is for movably coupling first and second members and includes first and second laminated bodies disposed within the second member bore, spaced about a centerline and connected with the first member. The first laminated is formed of alternating, arcuate first elastomeric laminae and arcuate first rigid laminae nested generally about a first central axis, each first rigid lamina having a first radial thickness between inner and outer surfaces. The second laminated body is formed of alternating, arcuate second elastomeric laminae and arcuate second rigid laminae nested generally about a second central axis, each second rigid lamina having a second radial thickness between the rigid lamina inner and outer surfaces. The first radial thickness of the first rigid laminae is substantially greater than the second radial thickness of the second rigid laminae such that the second laminated body has a substantially lesser stiffness than the first laminated body.

A mounting system for a vibration isolation device comprises a support structure having an opening disposed therein, the opening having a concave recess; a thin elastomeric component attached to a surface of the concave recess; and a spherical elastomeric bearing disposed in the opening and attached to the thin elastomeric component, the spherical elastomeric bearing having a beveled upper portion, a middle portion and a beveled lower portion configured to engage the vibration isolation devices.

To provide a vibration control bush that ensures improved durability of a rubber elastic body. An inner pipe film portion of the vibration control has an inclined surface whose inclination angle with respect to an axis O direction is set to one degree or more and less than three degrees, and the inner pipe film portion has an end portion in the axis O direction whose thickness dimension is set to a quarter or less of a dimension in an axis O perpendicular direction from an outer peripheral surface of an inner pipe to an apex of the protruding portion. This ensures reducing a rubber elastic body to deform so as to bend (close contact) between the inner pipe film portion and the outer pipe film portion when a load in a wrenching direction is input. Accordingly, a durability of the rubber elastic body can be improved.

The bushing includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and an elastic body therebetween. The outer cylinder has a central recess portion recessed from the inner peripheral surface in the radial direction at the central portion in the axial direction, and the thickness of both end portions is thicker than the thickness of the central portion. The central recess portion is formed in a curved shape or having a curved and a straight shape. The inner cylinder has a central convex portion swelling from the outer peripheral surface in the radial direction at a position corresponding to the central recess portion. The maximum outer diameter of the central convex portion is larger than the minimum inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder.
