Abstract:
A shock isolator comprising:a. an isolator body composed of an elastomer, said isolator body having a first side and a second side, said isolator body having a first leg, a second leg, a third leg, and a forth leg; b. a first platform, said first platform having a first attaching area and a second attaching area, said first platform for supporting a first member proximate the first side of said isolator body; c. a second platform, said second platform having a first attaching area and a second attaching area, said second platform supporting a second member proximate the second side of said isolator body; and d. a first rigid platform arm and a second rigid platform arm, said first rigid platform arm having a first end pivotally connected to the first attaching area of said first platform and a second end connected to said first leg, said second rigid platform arm having a first end pivotally connected to the second attaching area of said first platform and a second end connected to said second leg whereby the first leg and the second leg bow or arc under a shock and vibrational force to allow a cross elastomer mount to attenuated the shock and vibrational force while providing a tension and shearing resistance to the shocks and vibrational forces.
