A grommet is provided including a grommet body made of rubber-like elastic material and to be mounted on a mating component, and a center shaft configured to secure the grommet body on the mating component. The grommet body includes a cylindrical insertion portion to be inserted into a mounting hole formed on the mating component, a folded catcher formed on the leading end of the insertion portion, an umbrella-shaped head formed on the rear end of the insertion portion, and a groove-like release space defined on the inner circumferential surface of the insertion portion. The center shaft includes a shaft to be inserted into the inner circumference of the insertion portion, a folded catcher formed on the leading end of the shaft, and a head formed on the rear end of the shaft.

A vehicle includes an exhaust, a frame hanger connected to a body of the vehicle, and an isolator connecting the exhaust to a body of the vehicle via the frame hanger such that the exhaust rotates about the frame hanger. The vehicle further includes a first frame bracket having a fixing portion fixed to the body of the vehicle and an engaging portion located near the isolator at a first distance. The first distance defines a first maximum allowable displacement of the exhaust as it rotates in a first direction about the frame hanger. The vehicle may include a second frame bracket having an engaging portion located adjacent to the isolator at a second distance opposite to the first frame bracket. The second distance may define a second maximum allowable displacement of the exhaust as it rotates in a second direction about the frame hanger.

A dispensing pump includes a spring assembly and a locking arrangement to prevent the dispensing head from being deployed and/or actuated during shipment, stocking and pre-purchase handling. The dispensing pump includes a pump base, and a dispensing head having a piston stem. The spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element and first and second loading cones received at opposing ends of the slotted tubular spring element. Various locking arrangements may include interacting rotatable lugs provided between the dispensing head and the pump base, snap beads to retain the piston and dispensing head in a secured shipping position, and recyclable locking rings disposed between the dispensing head and pump base which prevent an active dispensing head from being actuated.

Suspension system of a vehicle and a shock absorber assembly of the suspension system, the shock absorber assembly includes a top mount and a jounce bumper. The jounce bumper includes a main body made of an elastic material, such as a foam elastomer or rubber and a fixing element made of a second harder material. The fixing element has a wall portion that extends around the outermost upper part of the main body and at least one elastic retaining area cooperating with a respective protuberance arranged in the top mount to fix the jounce bumper to the top mount. Between the outermost upper part of the main body and the fixing element there is a gap that enables the main body to expand radially also in the area covered by the wall portion of the fixing element when the main body is compressed during use.

An isolation mount assembly comprises a resilient member defining a central aperture that defines a load axis and an annular depression about the load axis, and an adapter plate including an outer mechanical attachment structure that defines a first thickness and an inner attachment structure that is closer to the load axis than the outer attachment structure along a direction that is perpendicular to the load axis and that defines a second thickness. The inner attachment structure is disposed in the annular depression and the second thickness is at least twice the first thickness.

An insulator for a vehicle suspension and a method of manufacturing the same, may include an insulator having a housing which is configured to be engaged with a vehicle body and in which a hook protrusion is formed to protrude from an upper end opening of the housing; a bush which is configured to be engaged with a piston rod of a shock absorber, wherein a vibration-proof rubber, a core, and an outer pipe are integrally mounted in the bush, and wherein the bush is press-inserted into and fixed in an inner space of the housing so that the bush becomes hooked upward to the hook protrusion; and a fixing plate press-inserted into and fixed in the inner space of the housing so that the fixing plate is in contact with a lower end portion of the bush and supports the bush from a lower side thereof.

A spring damper device comprising a directional spring (e.g., coil) having first and second ends, and defining an inner diameter region. A damper (e.g., viscoelastic polymer slug) comprising an element of elasticity configured to be situated within the inner diameter region of the directional spring. In response to a load on the spring damper device, the directional spring operates to compress, and the damper operates to dampen vibration associated with the load. The damper can comprise a viscoelastic damper comprising both an element of viscosity and the element of elasticity. The damper can be substantially coaxially aligned with the directional spring. Spring damper device(s) can be preloaded in a micro adjustment mechanism to account for positional adjustments between two structures (e.g., between a scope and a firearm), such that the spring(s) attenuate a shock impulse event (e.g., when firing), while the damper(s) attenuate vibration (e.g., to prevent damage the scope).

A mount bushing includes an outer mounting ring adapted for connection to a mount structure. An outer structural ring is disposed inside of the outer mounting ring. A main elastomeric isolation arrangement is disposed between the outer structural ring and an inner structural insert, wherein the main elastomeric isolation arrangement is supported between the outer structural ring and the inner structural insert by elastomer material. An outer ring isolation layer of elastomer is disposed between the outer mounting ring and the outer structural ring, wherein the outer ring isolation layer is isolated from the main elastomeric isolation arrangement by the outer structural ring. A mounting bolt is inserted through a bore in the inner structural insert.

A damping stopper is interposed between two members axially displaced relative to each other and is provided with an elastic body which, when the interval between the two members decreases, is axially compressed by the two members and expands radially outward. In the elastic body, a second member suppressing the expansion is located in one axial region and attached to the outer periphery. When axially compressed by the two members, the elastic body expands while receiving resistance by the second member. The expanding elastic body contacts the side wall of one of the two members.

A bushing includes a body that is cylindrical; a bore through the body; a channel extending along an inner face of the bore; and a groove on a substantially planar surface of the bushing and including a first end intersecting with an end of the channel and a second end extending radially from the bore.
