A anti-vibration device (1) includes a bracket (4) made of a synthetic resin and cylindrical metal fittings for fastening (5), where the bracket (4) and the metal fittings for fastening (5) are integrally formed. A vibration input position (P) is a position that does not coincide with a virtual line (L1) passing through central axes (O5) of a through holes (5h) of two metal fittings for fastening (5) in a planar view; the metal fitting for fastening (5) has a flange portion (51); and the flange portion 51 has a first outermost peripheral edge (51a) and a second outermost peripheral edge (51b), where a length (L51a) to the first outermost peripheral edge (51a) is longer than a length (L51b) to the second outermost peripheral edge (51b) based on the center axis (O5) of the through hole (5h).

Described herein is an axle assembly and method of fabrication thereof. The axle assembly includes an axle having a first geometric shape housed within an axle housing having a second geometric shape. A shock absorber is located between the axle and the axle housing. The shock absorber supports the axle within the axle housing and comprises a first material and comprises a multi-sided configuration. The first geometric shape and the second geometric shape comprising polygons.

A variable stiffness spring assembly includes first and second members made of a first material and separated by a gap along at least a portion of their lengths, and one or more layers made of a second material disposed in the gap. The variable stiffness spring assembly can be incorporated into or take the form of a limb support assembly, such as a prosthetic foot. The second material disposed between the first and second members is rate-sensitive or speed-dependent, such that the material exhibits different properties when the user of the prosthetic foot is walking at high or fast walking speeds compared to low or slow walking speeds. The prosthetic foot can exhibit high damping and energy absorption, and therefore stability, at slow speeds, and high energy return at faster speeds.

The present disclosure provides a mount (1) for mounting an instrument to a movable platform. The mount comprises a base part (11), attachable to the platform, an instrument part (12), to which the instrument is attachable, and a spring and damper arrangement (14, 15) operable between the base part (11) and the instrument part (12) to allow the instrument part (12) to move relative to the base part (11). The mount further comprises first and second lever sets (13, 13a, 13b, 13c), each lever set comprising at least two parallel and spaced apart levers (131), which are rigidly connected to each other and which are pivotably connected to one of the base part (11) and the instrument part (12). The lever sets (13, 13a, 13b, 13c) are pivotable about respective first and second geometric axes, which are non-parallel with each other. The lever sets are pivotable about a respective proximal portion (131p) of the lever (131). A distal portion (131d) of each of the levers (131) is connected to the other one of the base part and the instrument part by a respective elongate flexible member (14) presenting internal hysteresis. The disclosure also provides a movable platform comprising such mount and use of such mount for mounting an instrument to a movable platform.

A clamp including: a holding portion configured to hold a wire harness; and a fixing portion that is provided in a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the holding portion and is to be fixed to a fixed portion; wherein the fixing portion includes: a base that includes a first surface that faces a holding portion side and a second surface located opposite to the first surface, a support shaft that extends from the second surface of the base in a direction away from the holding portion, a lock that is provided at a leading end of the support shaft and is formed to be able to be locked to the fixed portion, and a vibration suppressor that is made of a material whose elastic modulus is lower than that of the base and protrudes from the second surface of the base toward a lock side.

The present disclosure concerns a spring device with a piston and a housing into which the piston can be introduced in a movement direction. A cavity is formed between the piston and the housing, in which cavity a compressible solid body spring is arranged that consists of a solid body that can be compressed by the piston. At least one surface of the piston that faces the solid body spring is conical or concave. The disclosure furthermore concerns a securing device comprising such a spring device and the use thereof, in particular for a container closing plug.
