A device (10) for protecting a mechanical part (20) against damage, in particular corrosion. The mechanical part bears on a support (22), or is under pressure as a result of weight. A flexible area (12) is designed to be in direct contact with the mechanical part and at least one row of rectilinear pads (14) designed to be in direct contact with the support. The row includes a plurality of pads (14-1, 14-2, 14-3) rigidly connected to the flexible area. The pads are more rigid than the flexible area, and are preferably rectangular in shape.

Provided is a diaphragm type actuator that drives an operation rod in an axial direction of the operation rod, including: a diaphragm which is connected to the operation rod; a low pressure chamber which is adjacent to one end side of the diaphragm in the axial direction; a high pressure chamber which is adjacent to the other end side of the diaphragm in the axial direction; a return spring which is provided in the low pressure chamber and urges the diaphragm toward the high pressure chamber; and a retainer which is provided on a surface near the high pressure chamber in the diaphragm. An elastic member is disposed inside the high pressure chamber and the elastic member is disposed between a retainer and a wall surface facing the retainer in the axial direction.

A laundry treating apparatus is provided. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a first moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet and a second moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet. Each of the first and second moving masses includes a single mass made of a metal material or a mass in which a plurality of thin metal plates are coupled to overlap each other, and the first moving mass has a mass greater than that of the second moving mass.

Achieved is a rubber bushing for railroad trucks which has a novel structure and is capable of improving, for example, flame resistance to externally applied fire or the like without greatly degrading the basic properties demanded with respect to vibrational and load inputs. A rubber bushing 10 used for railroad car trucks comprises a shaft-like inner member 12 and an outer member 14, disposed on the outer peripheral side of the inner member 12 at a remove therefrom, which are linked by a rubber elastic body 16. A cover part 48 that covers an exposed end surface 44, from the outside thereof, where the rubber elastic body 16 is exposed to the outside between the axial ends of the inner member 12 and the outer member 14, is provided at an axial end of the rubber elastic body 16 as a separate member from the rubber elastic body 16.

In an example an overhead door track is provided. The overhead door track includes a vertical track section having an opening to receive a roller of a panel of an overhead door and to guide movement of the roller within the opening and a single solid polymer based vibration isolator coupled to the vertical track section to reduce vibration of the vertical track section caused by movement of the roller within the opening.

The invention relates to a suspension assembly (10, 10a, 10b) for supporting a vibration sensitive device (1) in relation to a base (100). The suspension assembly (10, 10a, 10b) comprises: a support arrangement (20) comprising a support plate (21) and a damping support member (22). The support member (22) is configured to receive the vibration sensitive device (1) and the support plate (21) comprises a centre portion (23) and at least two side portions (24) extending with an inclination angle (α) outwardly from the centre portion (23), a base arrangement (30) comprising at least two inclined portions (34) extending essentially in parallel with the at least two side portions (24) of the support plate (21); and at least two wire rope isolators (40), each arranged between a side portion (24) of the support plate (21) and an inclined portion (34) of the base arrangement (30). The invention also relates to a suspension system (80), a vehicle (101), a use of such a suspension assembly (10, 10a, 10b) for supporting a weapon and damping vibrations during transportation.
