Patent ID: 8152146

Claim:
An isolator comprising: an elastomeric body; an outer structural member attached to said elastomeric body, said outer structural member having a radially extending flange defining a surface bonded to said elastomeric body; and an inner structural member attached to said elastomeric body, said inner structural member having a cylinder extending in an axial direction and a radially extending flange defining a surface bonded to said elastomeric body extending radially outwardly from a first terminal end of said cylinder of said inner structural member, said cylinder of said inner structural member defining a second terminal end opposite to said first terminal end in the axial direction; wherein said elastomeric body defines a shear hub extending between said radially extending flange of said outer structural member and said radially extending flange of said inner structural member; said surface of said radially extending flange of said outer structural member facing said surface of said radially extending flange of said inner structural member in said axial direction; said outer structural member includes an axially extending cylinder, said radially extending flange of said outer structural member extending radially outward from said axially extending cylinder of said outer structural member; and said entire axially extending cylinder of said outer structural member being disposed radially outward from said axially extending cylinder of said inner structural member between said first and second terminal ends.
