Abstract:
A shock mounting assembly comprising:a housing;a component for mounting to said housing;a shock absorbing base mount member connectable to said housing, said shock absorbing base mount member including a base portion connected to said housing, an upper portion having a continuous upper surface connected directly to said component, and a plurality of shock absorbing material layers interposed only between the base portion and the upper portion; andat least one shock absorbing stability mount connectable to said housing;said component being interposed between and secured to each of said base mount member and said stability mount member, wherein the interposition of said component between said shock absorbing base mount member and said shock absorbing stability mount isolates said mountable component from an external force applied to said housing;wherein said shock absorbing base mount member base portion comprises:a substantially U-shaped base mount bracket having upper exposed ends; anda planar interconnecting plate connected to upper exposed ends of the U-shaped base mount bracket; andsaid shock absorbing base mount member upper portion comprises:a U-shaped interconnecting plate having upper exposed ends;a top mounting plate connected to upper exposed ends of the U-shaped interconnecting plate such that the planar interconnecting plate is interposed between the U-shaped interconnecting plate and the top mounting plate and a base of the U-shaped interconnecting plate is interposed between the substantially U-shaped base mount bracket and the planar interconnecting plate; andthe plurality of shock absorbing material layers are interposed between the substantially U-shaped base mount bracket and the U-shaped interconnecting plate, the U-shaped interconnecting plate and the planar interconnecting plate, and the planar interconnecting plate and the top mounting plate.
