Abstract:
A suspension lug for a swinging load, comprising:a ring shaped elastomer body having a top and a bottom thereby defining an overall height; a first fixing part and a second fixing part arranged opposite each other in the elastomer body at the top and at the bottom of the body respectively; and a flexible insert in the form of a loop embedded in the elastomer body in such a way that the flexible insert transmits tensile forces from one fixing part to the other fixing part when the suspension lug is subjected to tensile loading; wherein at least one of the first or second fixing parts has attachment areas spaced away from the respective top or bottom of the body on which the insert is hung in such a way that the insert extends essentially radially away from this fixing part and in such a way that the height of the body is not increased by the insert.
