A reciprocating device applied to a load-bearing member includes a motor, an eccentric wheel, a first pulley disposed on a movable base of the load-bearing member, a first belt, and a recovery mechanism disposed on the movable base. The motor and the eccentric wheel are disposed on a fixed base of the load-bearing member. The eccentric wheel is connected to the motor to be driven to rotate around an eccentric shaft of the eccentric wheel. The first belt surrounds the eccentric wheel and the first pulley. The eccentric wheel is operatively coupled to the first pulley via the first belt. When the eccentric wheel is rotated by the motor, the first pulley and the movable base connected to the first pulley is operatively coupled to the eccentric wheel. The recovery mechanism provides a reverse force to the movable base according to said linkage.

Implementations of the present invention relate to devices, systems, and methods for isolating electronic components from input vibrations. The vibration isolation device may passively isolate the housed electronics from substantially all input vibrations. The vibration isolation device may include elastic members to suspend the electronic components within a support frame such that input vibrations are unable to directly influence the electronic components.

A vibration isolation device includes flexures and a multi-part mounting interface for coupling a frame that supports equipment to a structure. The flexures may include three pairs of flexures that allow movement in three orthogonal directions, to allow compliance and/or damp vibrations in the three directions. The flexures may surround the multi-part mounting interface, the parts of which are configured to move relative to one another. One of the parts of the mounting interfaces passes through another part of the mounting interface, such as in one or more holes in one of the interfaces. The device allows equipment mounted on the frame to be isolated from some or all of vibrations produced at the structure. In an example embodiment the vibration isolation system is used in mounting an optical sensor or device to an aircraft.

Seismic protection materials are derived from assemblages of unit cells, where each of the cells has a core, one or more shells disposed about the core, and rigid plates bounding the shells. The cores limit relative vertical movement between the plates, and the shell(s) limit relative lateral motion between the plates. Uncompressed cores are preferably substantially spherical or cylindrical, and can be solid or hollow. Unit cells can be aligned in same or different directions, both within a given layer of cells, and in different layers of cells. Assemblages can have any suitable overall shape and size, depending upon application, and for example can support objects ranging from table top equipment to large buildings and bridges.

A workpiece conveyance device includes a base body disposed adjacent to a press machine, a pair of first arms, a pair of second arms, and a first holding portion and a second holding portion independent of each other. Each of the first holding portion and the second holding portion includes a plurality of holding members configured to hold a workpiece W. The first holding portion includes a first support member, a second support member, and an absorption member. The second support member movably supports the first support member along an intersection direction. The absorption member allows movement of the second support member caused in the intersection direction relative to the first support member, and makes it possible for the second support member to return to an initial position in the intersection direction relative to the first support member.

A combined air spring system includes an upper cover plate, an air bag, an upper end plate and a lower end plate. An outer periphery of the upper cover plate is connected with an outer periphery of the upper end plate through the air bag. A low-position sand clock elastomer is connected between the upper end plate and the lower end plate . A pressing plate is installed at a bottom portion of the upper cover plate, and a high-position elastomer is connected between the upper cover plate and the pressing plate. A limiting table is arranged at a bottom portion of the pressing plate. A limiting groove is formed in a top face of the upper end plate. The limiting table is located in the limiting groove in a deflated state.

An hourglass type air spring assembly includes an upper cover plate, an air bag, an upper end plate and a lower end plate. An outer periphery of the upper cover plate is connected with an outer periphery of the upper end plate through the air bag. A low-position hourglass elastomer and a high-position elastomer which are integrally formed are connected with each other between the upper end plate and the lower end plate. An annular notch is formed between the low-position hourglass elastomer and the high-position elastomer, and an annular rigid partition plate matched with the annular notch is arranged in the annular notch.

The invention relates to a spring (1, 23) comprising at least one tensile body (2, 17, 71, 76) that can be subjected to tensile stress and/or at least one compressive body (37) that can be subjected to compressive stress, the spring also comprising a force-displacement conversion unit (3, 18, 24) for converting the force-displacement of the spring force F, said force-displacement conversion unit (3, 18, 24) having a moveable input control element (6, 19, 29), to which the spring force can be applied and a moveable output control element (7, 20, 30, 54, 60, 68, 72) which is operatively connected to the tensile body (2, 17, 71, 76) or to the compressive body (37) in such a way that the spring force F produces a tensile stress in the tensile body (2, 17, 71, 76) or a compressive stress in the compressive body (37) in a specific force-displacement conversion ratio.

A vibration-proof mount which is interposed between a vibration device including a vibration source and an elastic member disposed on a foundation surface includes an upper base plate including a first mounting portion where the vibration device is mounted, a lower base pate arranged below the upper base plate and supporting the upper base plate, and a plurality of connecting members connecting the upper base plate and the lower base plate, the plurality of connecting members including at least two or more first connecting members disposed between the first mounting portion and the lower base plate at intervals from one another. The first mounting portion is configured to have higher rigidity than the lower base plate.
