Patent ID: 7216859

Claim:
A damping arrangement having at least two holding devices ( 10 , 11 ; 24 , 25 ) that are connected to one another via at least one damping element ( 12 ; 23 ) in the form of a plane element made of a wire mesh or wire fabric, said plane element having a center region and an edge region, each said region having a closed circumference, each of said at least two holding devices ( 10 , 11 ; 24 , 25 ) being secured directly to only a respective one of said regions of said at least one damping element ( 12 ; 23 ), said at least one damping element ( 12 ; 23 ) having at least two curvatures in opposite directions between said at least two holding devices ( 10 , 11 ; 24 , 25 ), one of said at least two holding devices is a first ring-like holding device ( 10 ) secured to said edge region of said at least one damping element ( 12 ), said edge region having a circular circumference line, the other one of said at least two holding devices is a second holding device ( 11 ) secured to the center region of said at least one damping element ( 12 ), and said center region and said edge region of said plane element are capable of being spaced apart from one another in an axial direction perpendicular to said closed circumferences, wherein said at least one damping element is constructed to have substantially the same elastic stiffness in three mutually orthogonal directions.
