Abstract:
An elongated elastomeric isolator comprising:an elongated body of elastomer, said elongated elastomer having a top support surface and a bottom support surface with said top support surface positioned above said bottom support surface so that a line perpendicular to said bottom support surface extends through said top support surface; a first side wall connecting said top support surface to said bottom support surface; a second side wall connecting said top support surface to said bottom support surface, said first side wall and said second side wall each having a concave shape; and a plurality of holes extending through said elongated elastomer, at least a portion of the plurality of holes angularly extending from the top support surface to said bottom support surface, each of said holes having a central axis with said central axis positioned at an acute angle with respect to said bottom support surface to thereby place a portion of the elastomer in a shear condition.
