Abstract: Electronics are fitted in vehicles, such as boats, ships, trains, buses, lorries, normal cars etc. The electronic items are exposed to jolts and other non-uniform actions. Particularly with regard to jolts, electronic items or apparatuses in which there are also mechanical components are particularly exposed. This is particularly the case with CD players, CD-ROM players, hard disks and similar apparatuses, which besides very sensitive electronics also have very sensitive mechanics. To operate these installations optimally, dampening vibration transmission from the vehicle/ship/train/bus/car to the electro-mechanical component is achieved with a vibration damper having two springs arranged in two mutually perpendicular planes. One plane is parallel with the base. A first spring is fastened to the base. A second spring is fastened to the vibration sensitive item. The two springs are mutually connected.
