Abstract:
1. A vibration isolating device for isolating an object from at least one of vibration and shock from an external source, comprising: a mounting structure having an area for mounting the object thereon; a plurality of first springs coupled to the mounting structure and operative to minimize coupling of the at least one vibration and shock to the object; a shock stop comprising a first shock-absorbing material in proximity to a side of the mounting structure opposite to the object and operative to limit a first displacement of the object when the at least one vibration and shock exceeds a first given level; a shock cup attached to the mounting structure, wherein the shock stop extends into the shock cup such that a sway space is established between walls of the shock cup and surfaces of the shock stop; and a plurality of stop pins separate from the mounting structure and arranged externally about the mounting structure, the plurality of stop pins operative to limit a second displacement of the object when the at least one vibration and shock exceeds a second given level, wherein each of the stop pins includes a second shock-absorbing material.
