A damper for damping vibrations of a structure comprises: a first damping unit, comprising a first damping body having a first mass (m.sub.1), a first spring element having a first spring constant (k.sub.1) and a first damping element having a first damping constant (c.sub.1), wherein said first damping body is configured to be attached to said structure via said first spring element and said first damping element; and a second damping unit, comprising a second damping body having a second mass (m.sub.2), a second spring element having a second spring constant (k.sub.2) and a second damping element having a second damping constant (c.sub.2), wherein said second damping body is configured to be attached to said first damping body via said second spring element and said second damping element.

A leaf spring, particularly for articulated mechanical structures, includes at least one longitudinally extended elastic element and a pair of rigid elements which are configured to be associated with an articulated mechanical structure. Each one of the rigid elements is coupled rigidly, at a first end thereof, to a respective end of the elastic element. The elastic element is not associated with any constraint or load between its two ends.

The invention relates to a vibration damper, comprising: a housing, which has a first housing element and a second housing element; a first pin element for connecting to a first plate part; a second pin element for connecting to a second plate part; a first damping insert between the first pin element and the second pin element; a second damping insert between the first pin element and the first housing element; and a third damping insert between the second pin element and the second housing element.

The present invention includes a torsion spring including a middle plate having a first attachment point displaced from the geometric center of the middle plate; a first elastomeric element secured to a first side of the middle plate and having an opening coincident with the first attachment point of the middle plate; a second elastomeric element secured to a second side of the middle plate and having an opening coincident with the first attachment point of the middle plate; a first outer plate secured to the first elastomeric element and having an opening coincident with the first attachment point of the middle plate; and a second outer plate secured to the second elastomeric element, having an opening coincident with the attachment point of the middle plate.

A bump stop assembly for a UTV with a frame attachment, a shock absorber attachment, two panels, a shock absorber and a bracket. The frame attachment is coupled to the frame of the UTV and the shock absorber attachment is coupled to the shock absorber. The two panels extend between the frame attachment and the shock attachment. The bracket is coupled to the trailing arm of the suspension system of the UTV. The bump plate bracket has a bump plate located to contact the shock absorber when a force applied to the suspension system causes the suspension system to reach a predetermined level of a capacity of the suspension system to absorb. The bump plate transfers a portion of the force applied to the shock absorber. The shock absorber is configured to absorb energy transferred to the bump stop assembly by the force applied to the suspension system.

A vibration absorber bush for an inner tube absorber for absorbing torsional and flexural vibrations, for the coaxial assembly in a hollow shaft which is penetrated by a central longitudinal axis includes at least one largely cylindrical first elastic element and a largely cylindrical second elastic element which are in each case disposed to be coaxial with the longitudinal axis and to be mutually adjacent in the radial direction. In embodiments, a reinforcement element is disposed between the elastic elements.

A hydraulic mount includes an inner tubular assembly, first and second elastomeric bodies and a fluid-track. The first and second elastomeric bodies are attached to the inner tubular assembly and cooperate to define a first fluid chamber. The second elastomeric body also defines a second fluid chamber that is in fluid communication with the first fluid chamber via the fluid-track. The fluid-track is attached to the inner tubular assembly partially disposed in the first fluid chamber. The fluid-track includes a central portion, a peripheral portion and a passage. The peripheral portion extends radially outwardly from a periphery of the central portion. The passage provides fluid communication between the first and second fluid chambers. Gaps are positioned between the peripheral portion and a wall of one of the first and second elastomeric bodies. The peripheral portion being configured to contact the wall during loading of the inner tubular assembly to restrict movement of the inner tubular assembly and the fluid-track.
