Abstract:
1. A vibration attenuation apparatus comprising: a mass element including a first aperture and a second aperture, said second aperture in communication with said first aperture and extending substantially perpendicular to said first aperture; a bracket having first and second portions, said first portion adapted to be attached to a structure that transmits an input vibration; and an elastomeric member engaging said mass element and said second portion of said bracket and suspending said mass element in spaced relation relative to said bracket, said elastomeric member including a shaft portion and a barb portion, said shaft portion engaging said second portion of said bracket, said barb portion engaging said first aperture of said mass element, said elastomeric member having properties allowing said mass element to move relative to said bracket in response to said input vibration at a frequency that reduces an amplitude of said input vibration.
