Patent ID: 8037821

Claim:
An apparatus for isolating a vibration sensitive device located inside of a projectile from a mechanical wave imparted on the projectile, comprising: a base having a lower base member and an upper base member, wherein: the lower base member is configured to connect to an inner portion of the projectile; and the upper base member connects to the lower base member; an adapter plate coupled between the lower base member and the upper base member, wherein the adapter plate is configured to attach to the vibration sensitive device; an isolator disposed between the lower base member and the adapter plate, wherein the isolator is adapted to inhibit transmission of the mechanical wave from the projectile to the vibration sensitive device; an axial stop connected to the lower base member, wherein the axial stop is configured to limit a compressive force applied to the isolator; and a lateral stop connected to the lower base member, wherein the lateral stop is configured to limit at least one of a lateral force, and a torsional force applied to the isolator in response to the mechanical wave.
