Abstract:
An anti-vibration support intended to be interposed between two rigid components to dampen and attenuate vibrations between these two components along a vertical central axis and to support a continuous vertical load, exerted by one of these two components, this support comprising:first and second rigid armatures, intended to be fixed respectively to the two rigid components to be connected,and an elastomer body connecting the two armatures to each other, this elastomer body having a bell-shaped side wall extending axially by diverging from a top integral with the first armature to an annular base integral with the second armature, a rigid baseplate integral with the second armature extending to the centre of said elastomer body annular base,wherein the elastomer body comprises a central foot extending vertically to the centre of the side wall from the first armature to the contact with the baseplate, and wherein said elastomer body side wall is more flexible than the central foot in the vertical direction, this side wall comprising from 2 to 6 reinforcement ribs which extend radially outwards each in a vertical plane and which are distributed angularly around the side wall, these reinforcement ribs being separated from each other by thinner and flexible portions belonging to said side wall.
