Abstract:
1. A protective device for attachment to a frame of a transient force load producing machine to isolate transient force loads from direct transfer to an operating component attached to the protective device, the protective device comprising: a planar body; a plurality of tabs extending outwardly from the body and substantially within the same plane of the body, each tab including a first side adapted for attachment to the frame; each tab joined to the body by a neck extending between opposed fillets having respective radii to define a neck width, the radii and each neck width being sized to elastically deform the tab under the transient force loads; and a pad coupled to the first side of each tab, each pad being disposed between the first side of the tab and the frame, and sized to space the body from the frame sufficiently to permit elastic deformation of the tabs.
