Patent ID: 8556341

Claim:
A vehicular shock absorbing module equipped to responsively dampen and absorb impacting shocks emanating from multiple impacting directions exerted against a vehicular support for transporting vehicular objects, said shock absorbing module comprising: A) a support frame equipped with: 1) a chassis mount for mounting the support frame to a vehicular chassis of a vehicle; 2) a shock absorbing section mounted to said frame with said shock absorbing section including at least two counter positioned resilient shock absorbing members equipped with an abutting rigid stop so as to permit each of said shock absorbing members to independently compress towards the stop in response to an impacting force directed towards the shock absorbing members and thereafter relax into an uncompressed position; and 3) a guide track positioned in longitudinal alignment with said shock absorbing members; and B) a carriage unit slideably mounted onto the guide track with said carriage unit including: 1) a carriage frame; 2) a support mount for mounting the vehicular support to the carriage frame; and 3) tracking members respectively affixed onto said carriage frame so as to slideably track onto said guide track with each of said tracking members being positioned in a juxtapositional operational relationship to each impacting face of said shock absorbing section so as to concurrently transfer upon impact the impacting force exerted against the carriage frame onto said shock absorbing members of said shock absorbing section.
